Help, please!

I have been absent from LJ for quite a while, having spent most days in or around my pool, enjoying the awesome hotness of August. Now summer has left with a bang and swapped with an early autumn, and I went in my back garden, to check if everything is in good order. Well, it isn´t, because box tree moths´ caterpillars have eaten up big parts of my boxwood hedge. At first I thought that spiders had weaved in the boxes, but then I found black/yellow critters in the middle of those weaves, eating up leaves and even the bark. Yesterday morning I went on a killing spree, equipped with an enormous pump sprayer filled with what should kill those damn caterpillars immediately the moment they come in contact with the poison. Should, because I found a few dead ones next day, but most of those critters were still happily munching what was left of the box leaves. If I don´t get a grip on the plague as soon as possible, I´ll have to dig out what is left of a 30 year old hedge, and 15 metres of it, to make matters worse! Tomorrow a trip to the garden center is on the agenda, to find a new treatment, but I am open to suggestions of how to get rid of those bloody creatures!

You Are a Controller

When it comes to productivity, you run a tight ship... even if you're working entirely by yourself. You are big on planning and schedules. When you start to write things down, it's amazing how much you are able to squeeze in. You are highly determined and quite stubborn. You prefer to stick to your original plan unless there is a reason to change. You finish what you've started, and you finish a lot more than most people. You don't give up on your goals.
