Summer infestation--WARNING!

[Kajenloca]

I have no doubt that summertime is officially here. Every year it seems that our house has the same infestation occur during these hot months of summer, signaling the season is upon us. An out-of-control outbreak that hits far and wide, so be prepared!

Be on the look out!  The breed that has taken over our house is approximately 12-inches long. I have seen them in a wide variety of colors, red, blue, yellow, pink, green, orange, purple...The colors are actually kind of pretty, almost shimmering. It is what happens next that is so scary! (Please be warned; what I am about to describe is graphic.)

There are these even bigger creatures that come along. I believe that they are attracted to the multi-colors. They rip off the tops-with their razor sharp teeth-spitting the ends out onto the ground. Then they proceed to suck the very life out of the once colorful bodies-leaving behind a shell. If you look closely you can see a trace of the color that once was.

The big creatures then disappear, leaving behind a trail of empty remains to infest our home and yard! Everywhere I turn I see these vacant remnants; a constant reminder of what has occurred. GHASTLY!

Be warned, Mamas! This could occur in your household, at any time. Sadly, maybe it already has...HUGS.

If you have children and Popsicles then the chances are highly likely that this infestation has already arrived at your home! May the force be with us all...

It happened already. Here these happy colorful things were just sittin' in the freezer minding their own business and all of these creatures came in swooped down and ripped their heads off leaving their poor lifeless shells all over...

 

RIP Freezie pops...

My kids are at an age where I have to cut the reminants of the plastic off so they can get to the rest of the popcicle, so pieces of plastic are fluttering all over my yard.
