Wish I HAD a bad bug story... I DO have a story about some bad moles! ;-) I&#39;m still working on those, though. Good luck with this contest. You have a great idea!Shady Gardenerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05007816271406393818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7090836288987201219.post-59339178478190769282009-11-08T07:08:15.968-06:002009-11-08T07:08:15.968-06:00I don&#39;t have a story about myself, but my 8 year son decided to take a swing in an almost forgotten hanging bench not to long ago, only to discover a wasp nest fully occupied and attached to the underside. He came away with about 4 stings and quite a scare!<br />On a different note - if you are looking for some outstanding organic insect killer look up Gardenville in San Antonio - Mr. Beck who has run the place since 1957. He has a product called Anti Fuego - for reasons he would be more than happy to explain - he has to call it a soil conditioner, but I (and many others) can attest to the fact that it works exceptionally well as an insecticide - especially on Fire Ants which give us fits here in Texas!Stacyjohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13252728982380333398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7090836288987201219.post-55448903463814625732009-11-07T08:40:42.247-06:002009-11-07T08:40:42.247-06:00Oh my! Heather! I hope you&#39;re not allergic to bee stings, like me. <br /><br />This spring, I had a viburnum skeletonized by the Viburnum Leaf Beetle.

I never even saw it coming but apparently they saw me just fine.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10737367324901967724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7090836288987201219.post-56334192828541745752009-11-06T11:33:45.509-06:002009-11-06T11:33:45.509-06:00No horror stories here, but I&#39;ll surely be interested in reading some of the others&#39;!nancybondhttp://nancybond.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7090836288987201219.post-46806672854822654322009-11-06T07:40:58.746-06:002009-11-06T07:40:58.746-06:00My worst bug experience would have to be this past summer when picking tomatoes from the garden I came across a couple of Hornworms. They blended in so well with the stems that I accidentally touched them, yuck! Of course I picked them off and stomped them into oblivion. ;)Racquelhttp://perennialgardener.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7090836288987201219.post-91146540331455339152009-11-06T07:33:01.353-06:002009-11-06T07:33:01.353-06:00Ha!

I am posting on it next Friday so I won&#39;t spoil the surprise today. Let&#39;s just say my shrieks could be heard pretty far from my home.tinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.com
