irishfield Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 They came out heavy today about mid afternoon. Wasn't much fun snorting them..eating them..etc while 35 feet up on a ladder replacing some winter damaged roof to facia flashing! Looks like they may be mean this year. Hope it stays hot/dry a few more days to do them in... but forecast doesn't look like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just open the bottle of Crown and unwrap the cigar, and like magic, No more bugs. Do you have to tip the bottle once in awhile Dan ? lol Listerine....may try that. They don't really bother me and usually only last a few days if the weather cooperates. It is funny though.. there will be none for the whole week.. and they appear on the Friday before the May 2-4. Has happened last three years in a row.. and I swear it's the PPark filling up across the channel that they come out for ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
