Fly Away Home! (NOT MY HOME!) posted on June 20, 2007 10:58 AM by rethwyll.
Here in Wisconsin, it's finally summer! (For the next 2 1/2 weeks, anyway. Then hello snow!) Unfortunately, summer here is mostly known for being That Season With All The Creepy Crawly Things. If it's not the earwigs crawling out of their moist, dank hidey-holes (EW!), it's the ants who will crawl in through that rip in the screen that you've been meaning to replace and carry off your dog. (She's not very bright sometimes.) And THIS year is especially special because it's the return of the cicadas! (They're like that great-aunt you only see once every 17 years and hope to GOD you're living in Costa Rica the next time she decides to visit.)
Even the humble ladybugs don't get a pass from me on the heebie-jeebies list. Oh, SURE, they're cute when you see one or two of them. But if, like my unfortunate sister-in-law, your house is invaded by SO MANY THAT THEY NEED TO BE SUCKED UP WITH THE VACUUM CLEANER, they don't seem so cute anymore.
So here's my idea: I'm going to disguise myself with this Ladybug Hat, infiltrate the colony and, through cunning double-agentry, convince them to stay out of my house. What could possibly go wrong?
