I have several spider friends in my plant room helping with the bugs but I can’t convince them to expand their hunting grounds

This is where I’m leaning now - my stove exhaust is broken, too. Maybe it broke when something crawled in and died…

The windows I didn’t replace are all jacked up - including the screens. That’s where I assumed it they were getting in which is why I caulked them closed. I guess at least that’ll save me on heating and cooling…

I’m gonna try leaving it on the table tonight

They’re in my garage on the opposite wall but I’m actually leaning attic or HVAC now… The door seal on the garage is good and they still appear when I’m working from home for days

I thought it was the window sills of my old windows, hence the landlord special (I used removable caulk at least) but I’m pretty sure it’s somewhere else because it just hasn’t stopped!

Oh…no…no I have not checked my attic. God I hope it’s not the attic, it sucks up there lol

I’m in the Midwest US, though I don’t think it’s super relevant. I’m more wondering if there’s a way to identify gaps that I’m unaware of. My plan B is to have my friend bring his thermal camera to scan the walls

They seem to congregate around my grow lights in both rooms so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Hopefully not a total waste of $30

Unfortunately I’m in a split level so there’s no doors between the kitchen, dining room, living room, foyer, and basement :(

Hmmmm I’ll try giving the bins a wash. I’m very particular about recycling being clean but I hadn’t considered they were coming in through the garage either…

That’s pretty funny. Even funnier that it’s saying almost exactly what I said!

The original Bug-A-Salt. I did some research and the knockoffs are nowhere near as good. And I sure as hell didn’t want the one with CO cartridges

Big ol house flies. I’ve got separate problems with gnats but that’s mostly under control
- Comment on How do I figure out where flies are entering my house? 3 days ago:
They’re incredible and by far the best bug killing method I’ve ever used. They don’t move when you’re pointing it at them from a meter away and the salt usually just rattles them to death so you aren’t picking up bug pieces. Sometimes it vaporizes them, though lol
Don’t make the same mistake I did and shoot it near a house plant, though.
Care to translate that German for us lesser people?

Memes like this are so dumb. Laugh tracks for the internet.

I impulse bought a fly zapper on Amazon last night so hopefully that helps. But I had the same problem last year - albeit not nearly as bad as right now (there’s probably 20 inside at the moment)
- Comment on How do I figure out where flies are entering my house? 3 days ago:
I’m not so sure! Unless they’re laying eggs inside, there’s simply too many of them for that. My dog hates going out in this weather so it’s not like I’m even using the door that much

Have you ever spent time in one with other people? My basement (furnished hangout space) warms up pretty quick when I have guests.

It’s not just the work of washing them, it’s the logistics! You can fill up a dishwasher or sink really fast.

Well after my experience with unions in Philadelphia, I’m pretty confident in saying that it varies. I worked for a company that held conventions. We wanted the flag of each attending country to line the entrance hall and it took coordination with FOUR unions. I am not exaggerating.
One union to bring the pallet to the hallway
A second union to place the flag bases
Yet another union to place the flags in the bases
And the last to remove the pallet/packaging (not the same as the first!)
I found this out when I nearly got tackled after putting a flag in its base.
On the flip side, my friend’s labor union secured a (permanent) $5/hr raise during COVID.

My first job in high school was at a grocery store with a union and they did jack shit for me when I got fired for something out of my control. Almost a year later they called and told me they could get me my job back but I wouldn’t get back pay and I owed them X months of union dues. It soured my opinion on unions for years.
Nowadays, I wish everyone would unionize.

FF7 wasn’t the first game I ever played but it was the first one I really loved. I didn’t know there were “slow” games before that.
- Comment on I want a new retro Final Fantasy 3 weeks ago:
I just want a true FF7 remaster that changes nothing about the game, just updates the graphics. I don’t want action combat. I want the original slow-ass turn-based combat.
