was sitting here looking over fishing in bass pro, started to hear water dripping from around the a/c unit got took the cover off theres the problem water was coming over the lip of the drain pan, went outside pulled the extension off the pipe no water coming out, went inside grabbed the shop vac hooked it up to the pipe holy cow batman that was one big ball of stuff that got sucked out... everything flowing good.

was only out there for about 5 mins but was bite all over the legs from no-see-ums omg they itch...grrrr

We had no-see-ums in Juneau darn things fly with their mouth open I swear glad we donot here
in Washington state

 

[majorcatfish]

they are evil little things, almost as bad as chiggers have had a couple infestations in the gardens at least if you look you can see their little red bodys. if not careful they can bite you in some personal areas....

 

[PennyJo]

see we are free of those little pests for the most part although there are ticks here in Western Washington
maybe in some are we could find chiggers but don't think so

 

[lcertuche]

So many biting things reminds me of that scripture about taking up your shield of faith to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one...

I did not grow up in average religion we read the bible on Sundays prayed each night and prayers before a meal
Dad always said he could get closer to god at the base of tree and I still feel that today

@canesisters - Any tips on what to mix up in essential oils for tick repellent? How to mix it up? We are at our wits end and so fed up. Pulling 20 plus baby ticks off us every day. Tried a lot of different stuff and no luck to keep them off. At this point I wish they made a flea/tick pill for humans uggh.

And opossum , if you see them in your area, do not kill or chase off. They eat TONS of ticks.
