my favorite is the suggestion to release geckos in your house to eat roaches. now your roach infestation will be replaced with a gecko infestation. congratulations!

"Fire ants--Killing the egg -laying queen is the only way to destroy the colony. Choose a day when the ground is dry and the rain is at least a day away. Then gently sprinkle a teaspoon of instant grits on each fireant hill. The worker ants carry the grits to the queen who eats them. When she drinks water, the grits expand in her stomach and kill her. The remainder of the hill dies within a day. (From Tightwad Gazzette II book.)"

That actually sounds quite badass

I actually caught a mouse in a mouse trap yesterday, and unfortunately it snapped the little guys legs and when I found him he was wimpering in pain. I released him and he crawled off like a seal. I felt like a terrible human being.

I ordered some humane mouse traps and threw away the traditional ones. The other mice I caught had their skulls smashed or left blood on the floor, and frankly I can deal without ever having to see that again.

i don't understand these humane mouse traps. unless you haul his ass a right good ways away, he's just gonna come back in your house.

Skinner: Well, I was wrong. The lizards are a godsend.
Lisa: But isn't that a bit short-sighted? What happens when we're overrun by lizards?
Skinner: No problem. We simply release wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes. They'll wipe out the lizards.
Lisa: But aren't the snakes even worse?
Skinner: Yes, but we're prepared for that. We've lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat.
Lisa: But then we're stuck with gorillas!
Skinner: No, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death

i have a great aunt and uncle that have been living in puerto rico for over 50 years (he is a native) and they have lizards crawling around on their walls all day...... was really wierd to me the first time i went to visit them, but really cool

add to this the fact that they have no windows, only these shutters that they only close in a driving rain, and it means that they need something to take care of the flyign insects that come in.

generally if there is a fire ant hill in the yard I take some gasoline, pour it all on that motherfucker then drop a match. It usually works too.
