That's exactly right.  I paid an exterminator to come out here and spray
the entire yard and inside the house.  They forgot to tell me that this was
only a temporary solution and I'd have to get them back many more times. 
For what they charged me, that wasn't going to happen, so I took matters
into my own hands.

Had a few of them here as well, with temps dropping into the Twenties.  It
is warming up a bit now.  It never fails to amaze me that locals down here
gripe about the weather this time of year when they know that we are going
to have three days of cold and three days of pleasant weather this time of
year.
