Frogs, Lizards and Wasps

[cyclops222]

I filled the holes in total darkness, As soon as they appeared. Then Plastic Wood & paint to stop wood rot.
They do not bore thru my new Plastic Siding.

No it's not from someone shooting it
All the holes usually are in the rafters and they drill in than turn and do down the inside or the 2 by's. Some tunnels travel down 2 ft where they nest

use termidor expanding foam insecticide followed by great-stuff expanding foam pest block.

If (the if) I painted the wood prior with 3 to 4 coats the bees would try but get gummed up and stop

Come and get them. Common tree frog. About 4 different species. All about 1-1/2" long. Largest male is 2-1/2" long

About the size of today's chicken wings ! Can't believe how small they have become, yet the price is higher !

Buy whole chicken wings and just make them yourself. Much better, fun, and economical.

My grandfather made frog legs at least once a week. And we had liver and onions every Friday night. I still miss his cooking. His Beef Stroganoff was to die for. He was a firemen in Chicago back in the 20’s and had some really good recipes. Right up until the day he died he would in a flash as he so used to getting called out during a meal. If he didn’t eat fast he didn’t eat.

We've been using silicone at work for well past the 12 years I've been there with no issues.

 

[cyclops222]

Which brand & type ?
G E RTV has been none curing for years. After it was sold to another conglomerate giant.

It works fine for us. It's what the boss gets from Ace. 100% silicone, no caulk or rtv.

Whoah, 2 feet! I thought they only went just past the surface. I need to put an end to my carpenter bees too apparently then for sure. The bees have been extra bad this year in RI. Stung in the face doing an AC install this past Friday. No warning, right to stinging. The bastards are extra aggressive lately. Seem to be way more highly resistant to cheaper weaker insecticides I've noticed too.

We are short sighted and arrogant to think we control everything. A golfer was attacked by a swarm of hornets on the course. Had to dive into the pond. Had over 20 stings. E R treated him.

I like frogs and lizards.. Wasps, not so much.

If memory serves i could catch those blue tails easy when I was 10, nowadays I can't come close.
