What is this?

Bifenthrin (Tallstar) will kill all that stuff, as well as any fleas you may have attracted by now too.

$40? You're lucky! We got our tree today and it was $100.

I'm not sure if this instance qualified as luck. Looks like all he got for $40 was an infected mess

We used to have a real tree every year, then we bought a nice pre-lit tree. Pretty awesome. Drag it out of the attic, yank it out of the box, and plug it in

Not worth the trouble, but FYI for anyone in my area: I bought it at the Home Depot off of I-10 in Slidell.

My ex typically buys her tree there.

All I want for Christmas... is for that tradition to continue, given your findings.

Your house is infested. You're going to need to move.

 

[oleheat]

seriously, looks like a Cinara Aphid.

I think we have a winner. Ditch it.







Or Hell- just go with it.

Think of them as "Christmas Bugs".

Everyone is thinking it. I'll be the one to say it.

If its a Lone Star tick, one bite gives lifetime allergy to red meat. Who wants to be a vegan?

Haha. Thanks for the laughs guys. Pretty sure it was the aphids. My wife FREAKED out because she started looking around the house and said she found an infestation next to the fridge. Fortunately it turned out to be flax seed from when my son ripped open a soft cool pack.

It was just the icing on the cake of a horrible week. Whole family had the flu, I had to go to the ER, and then my Christmas tree was infested with bugs.

The kill it with fire post made me crack up at work, thank you.

Hey, that's what friends are for... Sounds like you had one helluva week... Glad things are better..
