See the photo of the nasty looking bug? See the photo of lovely people having fun in their swimming pool? Well this year the the mud daubers are winning.
We have so many of the damned bugs that I can’t use our pool without fearing for my life. Standing on the back deck and looking out at the pool, all you can see is 10-20 of the critters hovering and landing on the water. Needless to say I am not going in the pool and deal with that.
Hubby and I used the pool a few weeks ago and were bugged (pun intended) by some of them and even squished a few that were stupid enough to get too close while we were in the water. Now I don’t want to try and fend them off.
Hubby now has a new to-do-list when he gets home. Now where did I put that hazmat suit?

*Shudder!* Wasps! GOODNESS! They’re BAD this year. See my wife’s post today for more. But you’re not alone in battling the stinging buggers, Delaney.

I don’t think mud daubers are attackers- they’re just icky – it’s the wasps and yellow jackets you need to beware of…but I say EXTERMINATE them anyway. blechhh….shivers….

I don’t plan on finding out if they are the friendly type or not, I just want them gone!

I am so glad we don’t get them here (or at least I hope we don’t get them here), they look really icky and I bet they have a pretty lethal sting. Happy squishing

Right now I tend to run away very quickly.
