I could tell that Terminix had been here by the big-ass footprints they left impressed into my already-too-compacted soil....that and the little white flags. Now, I understand they have to tread across certain places to get close to the foundation, but did they have to step right smack into the bed that is currently sprouting the early tips of my cannas? [shake your head "no"] Do I need to put up a knee-high barbed wire fence?
Poor babies. I have to go outside now and coddle them and tell them they're pretty or else they'll never come up.
At some point next week Terminix will be back to set up a fortress around the house to fend off the invading phalanxes of cockroaches water bugs. I can't say I'm excited about having so much poison around the house, but I have to say that I'm not particuarly fond of seeing large insects scuttle across my kitchen floor, either.
F***ers! No regard for life at all, or even personal property. I'd call the company and complain. I hate that crap.
