I've been around a few. I usually just let them ramble, then they see my truck...
If it makes a track on this earth , I can catch it.

maybe not quite like that
I was at the the hardware today getting a couple grill tanks filled.
I see a lady with a few boxes in her hands looking at them like the packaging was printed in greek
My best opener for a conversation yet with a Lady , "whacha tryin ta kill?"
her "Beetles , Japanese Beetles"
well my neighbor has that one in your hand and it works but it fills up kinda quick , I have one of these show her the larger size. it comes with a heavy duty twist tie type thing to hold it up , I told her you need something stronger between the wind and the half gallon of beetles it breaks that wire , I used some 40 pound fishing line and a swivel because it twists in the wind
explained you will probably fill that trap in a week but don't throw it out , you can dump those beetles in a bucket and drown them but you need a good size bucket or they float on each other or I had been going out after dark and dumping them in a brown paper grocery bag and roll it up then burn it with the card board right away. and that kills them all well also
I need to empty twice a week and am getting about a half gallon at a time
10 dollars sounds expensive for a trap but it should last you through the rest of summer , 10 dollars is expensive the hardware store the next town over has the same trap for 7 but by the time you drive there on 3.09 a gallon gas it's a wash
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I tend not to get that being most folks I talk to called me to come trap something but when I do I grin and nod do my best to humor the idiot long enough to make a clean get away. X2 Even worse are the ' Askholes ' they ask you every piece of advice then go with a cousins friend on the Internet who knows someone's neighbor and had xyz problem and fixed it with chewing gum and crazy glue.

The old timers used to say never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear, or an idiot from any direction. Too bad you are trapped with those things while you are on the clock.

Sadly too many folks fail to realize they only seem like big fish because they've spent their entire lives in a tiny puddle. A lil time in the ocean and they soon realize what tiny minnows they are. A failure on the part of the society we live in that has far reaching consequences.
