In my humble opinion, earwigs are one of the coolest insects out there. They’re  just so fascinatingly prehistoric. That isn’t to say they aren’t creepy. In fact, for me, they rate right up there with spiders and centipedes. Which means that if you have them around, you should do everything you can to control the problem. I’m not alone in this either. From the very moment they see their first one, tons of people itch to know how to control earwigs so they can get them and their little butt pincers out of their lives forever. In all actuality, controlling earwigs isn’t all that difficult. You just have to know what you’re doing. Already this summer I’ve had several friends send me pictures of earwigs asking me what kind of bug they were, when I responded to tell them it was an earwig, I also sent them a link to my article, Earwig Control, and told them that within it was everything they needed to know about how to get rid of earwigs.

No matter which way you look at it…aphids suck. Millions of garden plants and decorative plants (mine included) are destroyed by aphid damage every year. For that reason, I’ve put together a little article on aphid control. By reading it, you will learn how to get rid of aphids using a number of different aphid control techniques including chemical control (like commercial aphid spray), natural aphid control, and organic aphid control. Basically, by reading this article, you will be able to learn how to kill aphids in whatever manner your morals dictate.

Despite being soft, squishy, and oh so huggable, people don’t seem to like grubs. In fact, most people seem to want nothing more than to kill grubs. Well…fine then. I’ll help. In fact, I’ll even go so far as to direct you to an article I wrote that’s all about controlling grubs. Those purply-blue, underlined words you just passed over? Yeah. That was me directing you. After reading that article, you should have very little trouble destroying those lawn ruining little devils.

With all the different types of them in the world, it’s no wonder people have issues with controlling beetles. They’re everywhere. My article on beetle control will help you to get rid of beetles of almost any species. In it, you’ll find tips on killing beetles both inside and outside the house. Do what you gotta do, but I do ask that before you resort to chemical beetle control methods, that you try some of the other methods first. Most insecticides that kill beetles kill everything else too. The last thing you want is a bunch of civilian casualties.

Sooner or later almost every pet owner has to deal with flea control. It’s not fun and it’s not easy, but it’s certainly not impossible. With a combination of flea control techniques, you can quickly get rid of fleas from your pets, homes, and yards. To learn how, check out my new article on flea control.

Alright party people, I know it’s been awhile since I’ve been here, but there’s a good reason for it. My friends and I have been busy working on a new website devoted exclusively to pest control. “What is this site called?” you might ask. Well, brace yourselves, it’s called: Simple Pest Control. We’ve all worked damn hard on it and we’re proud of what we’ve accomplished. With this site, you can learn how to control pests of all varieties (insects, rodents, birds, etc.) without having to call in any pest control specialists. Not only will this save you some cash, it’ll also help you get the pest control process started sooner. So, check out our new pest control site, take care of your pest issues, and tell all your friends about us.

Thank you Mr. Hatch.

Here’s a taste.

I let this bottle sit in my fridge for several months. I couldn’t bring myself to drink  it because I didn’t want it to be gone. And now it’s gone. And I’m sad…but I’d drink it again in a heartbeat.

I was impressed with how much the oak came through in the taste. I wonder if it was aged in oak barrels or with oak chips. It was only slightly sweet, which was good, and had a predominant citrus hop taste that one would expect from using two additions of cascade hops…one of which was dry hopping.

Primo.
