If you open the front door, there they are!

If you spray the area a few times they usually go away.

Last year it was so out of control I thought I was going to crack up!

My late husband USED to deal with this.

However, in the end he did nothing and left it all up to me to figure it out.

I figured it out and no one needs these damned things coming into your house!
