These didn’t catch my eye until the numbers exploded and they were everywhere! I imagine my first thought was splatter of cut dry grass stuck to the wall. Then continuing along the house it remained and thicker in spots. Time for a close up to stroke my curiosity. First impression was dried dehydrated skeletons resembling beginning of dirt dobber mud cocoon or the outer shedding of some kind of flying insect maybe a moth. So here I go to the quickest source, camera shot, Google Lens. I was floored because I’m currently batting a major infestation of aphids and spider mites for a friend and now another attacker. Started out being nice with peppermint soap, tea tree oil, and a little rosemary with just a couple of drops dawn dish soap (I know dish soap is sketchy) but I felt it would help cut the addition of olive oil I was attempting to use as my power punch since I was all in for making swift justice for the two enemies. Now three and keeping a sharper eye debating bifenthrin retaliation.
