I walked over to my woodpile to pick out a few pieces for a small

termite damage to the point they had zero value.
Kind of reminds me of the last time I was in Lowes. I looked at
their PT lumber and it had mold growing on it. No kidding. Anyone
else seeing serious deterioration of building materials?

EPA banned chemicals that worked in the past.

What EPA-banned chemical kept the ants out of your kitchen in the past?
That problem has pretty simple solutions, beginning with sealing
entries and eliminating food sources. Hornets have been bugging me
lately outdoors, but it's getting cold and I have a winter coat )
They seem to become more pesty during severe dry spells....just looking
for a drink.
