• Wasps and Spiders

  My mother is freaking out about wasps and spiders.  We've had some of those "dog spiders" in the house.  We've killed most of them.  She thought they were coming up the vents.  I tried to explain to her they're coming in from outside to find a warm place before winter.   She insisted I call the pest control people so I did.  They came out to give us an estimate.  They were going to do the outside of the whole house, and the inside of her part.  (That's where most of the spiders were.)  She was so worried trying to think of everything she should do first, and what would she do about the dog, etc, etc.  that she decided she didn't want the inside done at all.  So I phoned and cancelled that part of it.  They're due to come tomorrow morning.  She is so worried about it!  She never lived in the country until she and my step-dad moved here.  The pest control guy told me he was surprised we don't have more little critters since we have so much nature all around us.  She's also worried about the wasps that have a big nest in the tree by her porch, so they are going to knock that down too, though he said the wasps would soon be gone, and they won't use that nest again.
  
  The nest is way up high. I had to zoom and crop to get this picture.
