Yes, one thing will get us but hopefully it will be later then sooner and not too painful.

My dad used to spray in our cellar with what I think was DDT to kill termites and all around the foundation. We used to play in the cellar all winter. And he also had my brother crawl thru this 3 ft wide space spreading it out to get termites on the perimeter. I remember he was all happy he had so much left over since it had been take off the market for being too dangerous. What was he thinking???

So today I moved a few plants around and saw this........on a prize clivia. Boy did I want to do murder with the most poisonous of the poisons. LOL. It was so thick with them in the joints under my pollen tags. Gross or what
