Heh, fooled you with that title, didn’t I? Well, I am clearing the garden today, and relocating those white rocks in the flower beds, and whacking major shrubbery.
But not with a herring.
As low maintenance as our backyard is, the dogs tend to wreak their own special kind of havoc by running in the flower beds while barking at the dogs on the other side of the fences. Consequently, all the gravel and pretty pebbles get displaced. If it were up to me, I would have all that taken out and replaced with MOAR DURT!! But it’s too costly of a project to undertake at this time, so we stick to maintaining it. Hopefully one day we will set up a hammock for nice summer evenings. Along with fifteen bug zappers.
Can’t take chances with insects around here. Not when they can carry you off 😀

Invisible/electric fencing. Just sayin’.
For everything else, there’s claymores and napalm.

The HOA frowns on napalm.
They are fuzzy on the claymores, though…

Screw the HOA. Flamethrowers are not mentioned ANYWHERE in any Federal proscribed-weapons laws. Gives new meaning to the operational strategy of “spray and pray”.

And there’s always the classic “nuke the site from orbit…its the only way to make sure.”

Good way to knock down the mosquito population as well!

Yeah, but cockroaches and democrats will still survive. Once you are infested, it is impossible to get rid of them.

We have a bed of rocks out front. And in the back. All of them need to be dug up and have weed barrier put down again. That is sooo not within my interest level of effort. 🙂 So we Round-Up the rocks every so often. 🙂
