Thanks. I haven't been out there in almost 5years. Going to stay with some friends I met through my late guy.
Am flying out but I'm not the best flyer.

Thanks Jack. :) I just went for the May long weekend. Monday was Victoria day up here and so the friends I stayed with their kids were out of school Friday, Monday and today.
I had a really good time. Lots of talking, joking. Beautiful weather though they couldn't have a fire in their fire pit as there is a fire ban on in Alberta. It's too dry out there right now.
Went to a couple of malls, had a barbeque over the weekend. Sat out in the backyard. Really, really, nice.

Sounds like a good time. :)
I think the mice must have heard me. There's been zero activity since I bought the traps. Looks like I didn't have to kill any of them afterall. Strange, that. If they were still here, they would have already gone for the peanut butter. I haven't heard a peep out of them since I put the traps out, and they were making it very obvious they were here when they were around.
The outdoor ant traps aren't working as well as I'd hoped. Those little f****ers are really getting on my nerves. Maybe I just need to give it more time. I really had a bad infestation last year. I'm thinking there are just a ton of them and probably a lot of queens.
Oh well... at least the weed poison seems to have done the trick. I'm going to go buy more and give everything a 2nd dose for good measure.

It was a good time and I came back in a much better frame of mind. :)
Glad your mouse problem seems solved. On that one I wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Ants sound more difficult. And time could be what that problem needs.
No more weeds is a good thing too. But even dosing them, you know that they will come back.

Yeah. Sometimes you just need a change of scenery for a little reset. I was hoping to do something similar with my time off right now, but it just wasn't in the cards. I'm hoping to go down south to visit my brother soon. Gotta wait until my other bro or my dad can go though.

Well the mice problem is solved.... for now. I'm actually quite happy they moved on. I don't know what was here that attracted them this time, but it seems they're gone now and I didn't have to kill any of them this time. :)
I'm hoping I can at least get the ants to the point where a few traps per season will keep them away. My big problem is that I had all that firewood and other sticks and crap sitting there rotting for so long and I had no idea there was a monster colony there until I removed all of that last year. When I displaced their home, they moved all over my yard and patio and into my house. Shame on me. I know better now, but a lot of damage was done.
I'm hoping by next summer I can afford to put some nice stones down in the landscaping. It's just bare dirt around the hastas now, and the weeds are insane every year. I'm getting tired of all this work trying to keep it looking at least like somebody lives here though, so I might just get mulch instead.
Do Right, Be Right. :)
