(OT) I know I over reacted about a spider before but

Apparently the one I killed (along with it's little babies riding on its back) wasn't the only one. Now they're in my bedroom.

Damn thing runs faster than my cat! No, it had to get into my laundry basket. Sorry folks, I'm calling a fumigator. Jill To scoop any bug, I use a piece of thin cardboard (like the ones at the back of paper notepads) and a wide jar or a big clear glass. I put the jar/glass over the bug and slide the cardboard underneath without hurting their legs. Then the bug isn't able to run away and off it goes outside. Bobble Seems I can't do the right thing no matter what. First I killed a spider with bug spray and everyone bitched about it. Last night I tried to scoop one up to put it outside and it ran faster than a cat and got away into a nice clean basket of clothes. (This one also had babies swarming off her.) I love nature as much as anyone. But I'm not going to live in a house infested with spiders. Sorry, Bobble. The bugs gotta go. It is not necessary to kill them, they can be put outside if you are brave enough. I am not very brave with the big ones, they are the only thing I don't like, but I manage to put them outside without killing them now. Maybe they don't like it as they are "house spiders" I don't like spiders. At all, never. You can put one or two outside, but when there are dozens or more, that is a physical impossibility. Joy |

Spiders only thrive in a very healthy environment. Be glad they approved of your living conditions... Yeah right... I don't want them in my bedroom. Or in my kitchen. Get out of my house! Jill |

Jill Speaking as one who likes spiders (they eat ants and roaches) Spiders don't eat Palmetto bugs. They don't call this the Palmetto State for nothing Think it's about trees? Nope, it's about bugs. LOL *is* a limit FGS. I am not scared of them....and you obviously are, no sweat, no diss. I'm not scared of spiders, I just don't want them and their babies in my house. And it happened really quickly. Needless to advise: lock Persia up in another part of house till fog settles down and also consult and read directions as to safety of product for household pets! Anyone who deplores my suggestions can **** *** **** **, LOL. Hop, I already consulted with Terminex and the stuff they use is not harmful to cats or dogs. I won't have to vacate my home or lock Persia in the bathroom. I also won't have to stay a motel room, which I thought I might have to. Nope! Jill Great. I have a feeling you will be rid of more than spiders, like, all freeloading summer bugs. I had no idea SC is Palmetto State. That's ROFL funny. FL is the Sunshine State but palmetto bugs are abundant the they hang out by urban street lights but also invade homes inside your bag of groceries, etc. They fly high and go for your hair. They don't live in MileHigh. I have seen 5-inchers in Miami. *Why* is it that whenever you scare them, like my turning the light on in the garage, they run *towards* you instead of away? *that's* what creeps me out about roaches, especially cockroaches as big as my hand... that *FLY*! -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped See the RPCA FAQ site, created by "Yowie", maintained by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.net/rpcablog/ Email: L(dot)T(dot)Crews(at)comcast(dot)net |
