Sucks cause I busted my ass to bury the drains and that was only about a month ago. I've never heard of neighbors with this problem. My pipes must just be super elite and attractive to bugs. Thankfully I splurged some extra money and went with the stiff PVC plastic in case I ever needed the pipes cleaned out *groan*

I think that's what we did, but concerned about a reprise of this situation. I wonder if I should grab some of those nasty bug bags. We trapped a ton last year in them but I've heard those can attract them to the genera area, too...

Yeah, flush them out then put some sort of mesh covering over the rain gutter so water will flow but bugs won't crawl in

Exactly.

There sure are a bunch of girly-man responses here...

Kind of like a colon cleansing :Q :confused: ;)

Cheers,

Certain pipes shouldn't be flushed out. :p

Thought about a mesh. I'll do that on an interim basis. Damn wasps have been in my sh*t too, though. Time to get serious!

Yeah I meant it's a new take on threads that get answers like "nuke from orbit", "kill it with fire", et cetera.

I suggest you gather up a few and try them in a PB&J samich. The crunch would PWN.

I'd go with the hair spray/WD-40 and a lighter route personally. Nothing like some shock and awe to show the bugs who's the boss.

What if it reproduces? Then he'll have a basement full of anteaters.

That's when you get yourself a liger.
