El Cartero

17 years ago it was a wonderful and quiet little cultural paradise. 2 years ago it became intolerable to drive in the traffic. Moved.

I did as mostly lost suggested but paid in cash at oxxo. Results all positive.

From mexexperience...... “If you are driving into Mexico (or currently in Mexico) with a foreign-plated vehiclewith a TIP (Temporary Import Permit) we understand that Banjercito —the Agency that administers the permits— is not giving any extensions to TIP expiry dates due to Covid. If you fail to drive your vehicle out of Mexico before the TIP expires, the vehicle will become illegal in Mexico (this affects the validity of you your auto insurance) and you will lose your deposit. A TIP’s validity is usually tied to the expiry date of a Visitor Permit (FMM) or a Residente Temporal permit.”

Ortho Fire Ant Killer handles leaf cutters. Going thru the same problem. Wiped out most of the mounds but still some refusing to die. Actually these are granules you apply then drench with water which soaks in and, hopefully, eradicates the Queen. Mercadolibre.

No longer lakeside. If you were in town you’d go to Kitchen Harmony and ask for contact info. (Little strip mall south side of Carreterra just west of Walmart). Alternatively google might yield contact info for kitchen harmony.

I’ve done it but had to pay an arm and a leg for insurance because of Mexican License. My credit card did not include the car insurance but some might.

Don’t know self help cures but my gardener referred to this as “la plaga”. He sprayed the plants every few months and the problem never came back. Is there a garden service Lakeside that will come and spray for you?

Personally, I think thinking in hourly rates is not all that applicable here. In the maid search I would have the applicant come in and either give you a price for the job you expect to be done; or, let her do the job one day for a stipulated price and then give you a price.

Just leave the light in the garage on from dusk tildawn

Muriatic acid

That’s not an oil leak, just marking its territory

Another yes for Azucena. She’s been in business for nigh unto 20 years so lots of experience and a nice person. i am curious about your “handle” since Bruce died in ‘73 it would appear your into jeet kune do?

I would never hire anyone based on working hours. Angus hit the nail on the head. I would ask for references from those you’ve felt comfortable with and check them out.

Oops, yes Annas is telcel. Had the amigo but now monthly. Will try both, thanks
