Default Theyre Back.....

Anyone who lives in the midwest I feel for ya. I hate these things and they are worse than ever today. Nice job introducing them..... lol.
You smash them, they stink, and they bite. They also kill off all the good ladybugs. I have so much fun with the vacuum though.

They were horrible here last fall. This year so far, so good. But I think they're on their way though. Last fall I found a bunch of them dead in the airbox of my Monte.
