Millipede Madness

[Skierchickie]

Yeah, well Frontline works on our ticks just enough for the darn critters to leap off the doggie when she comes in the house. They just say "blech - this doesn't taste good". So we end up with them crawling on us, instead. They've been bad the last couple of years. On the bright side, I'm becoming desensitized. We didn't have them this far north until recently. However, growing up on a farm in Indiana, Dad would send me out to mow the barnyard and old orchard area on the tractor, and told me to always wear a hat and be careful under the trees, because they'd drop on you from the trees.

Yuck: spiders, ticks, millipedes, centipedes, leeches, ...... Creep me right out. I really am afraid of spiders (I have more "growing up on the farm" stories ). I think the worst was the pet tarantula my sister brought home from work - she left it with us when she moved out. It only escaped once, well, twice in one day.

Why do I read these threads???

Oh, and I don't want to try living in Florida! Geeze, heat, humidity, and now bugs!
