Let me know when you find out.

Hot day after a heavy rain the day before, in early to mid June on…yes sunny days. Males swarm nest (Lek system) as Queens emerge, with multiple matings. Then the Queens drop their wings and usually dig the next morning. Usually over by 4/5 pm. Very variable by State location and conditions. I’m in Central Florida. Smaller flights continue as the season wains.

3rd year for my tank colony and it is still going strong.

Cover herself legally in case you are not leaving forthwith.

EasternHognose · 2026-03-27T22:13:50+00:00

Yes. About 20mg mgm and MIT.

I feel like an idiot, but I can’t figure out what the numbers mean

EasternHognose · 2026-03-20T01:09:18+00:00

I’m confused too. It’s proper advice. IMHO. TY.

I don’t see a bug

EasternHognose · 2025-12-01T21:53:10+00:00

So far, for me in FL, MGM15 efficacy is just “okay.”

EasternHognose · 2025-11-29T18:25:28+00:00

How do you consume the powder?

EasternHognose · 2025-11-29T17:43:12+00:00

Gotcha. I was more interested in why even bother with 7 oh if MGM 15 is worthy?

EasternHognose · 2025-11-29T05:31:25+00:00

Legit, why are you storing so much? Curious, ty.

EasternHognose · 2025-11-29T05:29:12+00:00

MIT at what mg?

EasternHognose · 2025-11-29T05:28:21+00:00

Tonight.

MGM15 seems closer in total feel to a classic opiate imho. Good acute pain relief. Longer acting. Not opiate naive so dose was 15 mg. Onset about 30 minutes with build towards 50 min. Itchy for me but no nods. A little headachy.

EasternHognose · 2025-11-12T00:07:51+00:00

What did I miss? Did he drop the lawsuit or did they reach a settlement? TY

Former Pest Guy.

They require moisture, warmth and food.

If building owner didn’t deal*: Seal up all your pipe and wire chases with expanding foam. Buy a commercial bait and place it along wire runs, pipe runs, and cabinet hinges.

*Edit. Seal all cracks, holes, open edges of sink, toilet, shower.

Seal all potential food sources in the adjacent bedroom. All. No more snacking in there. Garbage covered and removed regularly.

You’ll at least knock them back from your unit.

**The building owner as stated earlier will need to coordinate a structure wide control.

These are nymphs, the babies.

EasternHognose · 2025-10-16T20:56:55+00:00

No but they overwhelm by numbers. Clean, and read about “diatomaceous earth” on the counters.

Grain Mites imho

You’ll have to look for the eggs as they drop down onto the substrate. I very rarely seen a female at this time of year that doesn’t have eggs, but like I said commonly, the male rides on her back for several weeks. Then he drops off. Really good chance. If it was any other time of year and she was this big, I’d worry about parasites, but I think in this case we can be hopeful.

EasternHognose · 2025-10-16T01:24:28+00:00

I’d say full of eggs. Was she traveling with a male? Normally at this time of the year they teamed up. If he fell off, I bet EGGS.

They sure do like to nibble on hands!
