[quote=TexasLine]Hmm, Lets see…if you use plastic, you choke a dolphin. If you use paper, you destroy the forests. And if you use cotton, you support child labor in a sweatshop somewhere…

What’s an intellectual to do…? ;)[/quote]

To jeeman…that was my point. Never can satisfy every agenda that changes every so often to placate the next “hip” urgent crisis,…boy that Swine Flu really kicked the Worlds’ arsch.

…next crisis might just be around the corner; I mean with the elections coming up and all…

…cynical me…

[quote=UCGal]Anyone else by me as skeeved by the poisons as the bugs? I’ve been looking into orange oil for the next termite treatment… Most citrus based stuff works, and is non toxic.

Maybe I just worry that the bug poison could be as deadly as the spiders….[/quote]

Honestly,…I’m as concerned as you about the toxic side of it. I dont like it.

But I guess I consider it a necessary evil, if you will.

Kinda like jet fuel…the planes gotta fly somehow, or high fructose in my Gatorade, or the “optional tax” I remember paying once at a Canadian airport to catch my connecting flight ;)(man, did that pi** me off).

Since I decided not to buy…(another thread/discussion)…I just moved(rental) to another part of town that has given us a WHOLE lot more space. We’re very happy with the new space…but with this 1/4 acre comes bug issues.

The previous renter did absolutely nothing…I mean nothing; leaf litter everywhere, bushes over grown etc.

So the bug prob. is pretty bad. Our landlord bought us a bottle of “Max. bug killing in a bottle”.

…Ok, no joke I just returned from the girls bedroom responding to the screams, due to the “huuuuge! spider crawling up the wall.

Anyhow the landlord gave me a bottle of poison that attaches to one of those bottles that attach to the hose and said it will kill termites and everything else(outdoor use only)…but I should keep the kids away for a few days. He says every couple of months keeps the spiders/ants and such away.

Will give it a try next week.
