How do you get rid of bees?
There's a bee nest inside the siding right below the gutter in my house. I have used those jet sprays to kill the bees with some success, but it can not get rid of them. It looks like the insecticide concentration is not high enough to kill the bees on contact as advertised. The bees would be killed only if they were covered with the chemicals, which is hard since they do not stay still near the nest.
I have used duct tape to cover the nest, but they managed to get in and out after a few days when the tape became loose. I did find out that the tape did trap a lot of bees when I replaced with new tapes.
I will keep using duct tape until the bees are gone or I find something better.

While on vacation, the internet connectivity was lost on June 5. I’m working on getting it back online.

I booked a trip to Orlando, Florida next month. We will visit Disney theme parks and other attractions. The kids are pretty excited about it and looking forward to the summer break. The trip is booked from Expedia.com and we will stay at Courtyard by Marriott Lake Buena Vista @ Vista Centre.

I have found many instances of using this blog site for those stupid penis-enlargement or similar spams by low-life scams. I always place their IPs under IP banning list. However, they do get their URLs into search engines such as Google by associating with content.

Finally I drove a brand new 2004 Prius home last night. I placed an order in Nov and was told to wait for at least three months. Someone who ordered one had to leave the country, so my salesman called me about the car. It's not exactly the package I ordered, but it's close enough. It's very interesting to drive a hybrid car. You can watch the fuel efficiency on the LCD screen. I have to tell you that I'm already trying to adjust my driving habits to increase the efficiency. Basically, you have to avoid sudden acceralation in lower speed around 30 mph to have the electric motor do the work (so called stealth mode).
The car is great, but I hated the sales manager in the dealership (Sterlling McCall Toyota on Highway 59). He insisted on having body sealant ($495) option on the car, which I refused first, but he told me that he would sell the car to the next person on the waiting list if I didn't want the option. He told me that the treament was done already. So I took it, but I felt that the experience was bad, and I would not buy another car from their dealership anymore. I was willing to pay the sticker price for the car, definitely not for the stupid car body protection, which is useless in Houston's climate anyway. They actually had body sealant treatment done next day after I signed the paper work. Car salesmen are all crooks to me, at least from my experience.

I have placed an order for 2004 Prius. Black Body with Package #5. I have to pay sticker price which is $19,995 + $1,920 + $550 = $22,465. The waiting period could be as long as 4 months.
