    Just my luck

    Here's your solution. Apply liberally
  3. Try to, if possible, disrupt their habitat (reduce clutter, overgrowth and hiding spots). Most insecticides are garbage on spiders; they are hard to dose because they do not groom themselves like insects and rarely take a lethal dose. They are predatory, insectivores; so if you use an insecticide in the areas where you see them, then you can conceivably reduce their prey (insects), and they often move on to hunt elsewhere. I have seen more widows the last 2 years than my previous 18 before that (combined). I am in Brick and my neighbor had an issue last summer.
  4. Just a reminder, you can customize the site to your liking. You can ignore entire forums, topics, threads, and members. If you don’t like it, block it.

  6. At the end of the day, I think we can all agree that we believe that something has to be done. I think the state is at least taking the steps in the right direction to assess the situation, which I believe is thanks to the NWTF. We are seeing it all across the country, some areas harder than others. If you look at all the studies that are being conducted around the country, it doesn’t seem like a single reason. Habitat, predators, and disease seem to be leading causes, but I believe there’s still much to be seen. I seem to find nests every year. I’ve seen nests that have been raided, you can generally see, at least in my experience, when they have been “raided”. You find broken eggs all over the place. Those nests have been bigger. Lately though I have found smaller and smaller nests. 1 to 3 eggs. Did I stumble upon a hen who wasn’t done laying? Just started? Her first nest was already raided and this is her attempt at a second nest? That’s what I originally thought. Then I spoke with a biologist who suggested that was possible but there’s also a disease in the population that they are seeing that has reducing the number of eggs a hen lays. So it’s interesting to see. We still have a lot to learn.
  7. Wow what a great trip! Congratulations!

  12. I can go anytime after 65 but if I’m feeling good it’s just way to much money to leave on the table again. A lot can change in the next 10 years
  13. I will work till 75 and 3 months unless the law or our plan change by then I have to consult for 2 years after to get the most out of the consulting transition money and how the seperation payments work Their will be some unpaid leave periods in those 3 remaining tax years It’s complex but benefits my survivors
  14. LiticiaOsborne is gonna love this thread.
  15. My dad was a welder for DuPont, from back in the 1950's, before there was an awareness of hazardous materials exposure. He retired at 63 and was in and out of hospitals until he passed at 68. Refused to teach me to weld because he knew it was killing him. Having just turned 67, I now appreciate that.
  16. I saw a hen once pecking the heck out of someone chrome bumper one day. Lol.
