  Warm, humid, wet weather...that's when they get really bad here.  Last fall I had to go out before Kacee and pluck them out before she could find them.  It was a constant battle and still she found one I didn't find.  It was hidden in a clump of decorative grass.  I almost had a heart attack when I saw her carrying it around.  I got her to drop it - she didn't eat any of it.  I washed her mouth out even.  I was almost worn out cutting those things out of her fenced area last fall, though.  This year, I haven't seen any.  We're having a drought!
