Bees, wasps and hornets.....oh my!

I am battling with bugs here in lovely Ontario! My kitchen swarms with fruit flys every so often (luckily Sean has the perfect trap), my backyard play climber has wasps living inside it and spider webs all over it that I have to break down when the kids go out to play, my front lawn garden has hornets living in the soil and there are spiders everywhere!!!

Yesterday I decided I needed to do a huge makeover outside on my yard back and front! So I weeded the entire lawn (and it ain't small) and garden bed getting it ready to mow today (please Sean!). This morning I weeded my front garden and lawn and destroyed the entry way for the mother hornet! While I was weeding the lawn I saw her come back with a massive grasshopper (dead) that she was traveling on! Oops...can't find her way in! I tried to wack it a few times with my shovel but she is too speedy! AH...why the battle! Can't we all live in peace? I wouldn't mind so much if they were just flies...but Drew was outside the other day and out of nowhere got stung by a wasp on his calf so I don't like the idea of Taylor climbing all over the slide with them hiding out!

It's a good thing these bugs don't scare me...they just annoy! This is one reason I can't wait for winter to arrive(the only reason!)

Ahhh...that was my vent for the day everybody...enjoy!
