A few months ago I started to occassionally see little silver insect things in my kitchen at night.

I don't like killing stuff if I can avoid it, so I fobbed myself off with the excuse that it wasn't really a problem, since sightings were reasonably rare, but if I ever saw two or more out at once, I'd do something about it and snuff them out.

Yesterday I saw 2, and was forced to face my inner p***y.
For now, they live. But there probably will come a point when I have to kill them all. I'm making an effort to keep things cleaner, so there's no food or whatever for them, but I'm sure that won't keep them down until the point where I move out.


So, killing insects for big girls - how do you overcome the inner p***y and its guilt?

Good god man.

Trap them in a glass and throw them out the window.

Not exactly hard.

That's what I do with spiders, but these things are too small and fast. You can get a glass over them, but sliding the card (or anything rigid enough to hold a decent seal) will either squash them or let them out.

Plus the ones I've seen are no doubt the tip of the iceberg. Or at least only a small cut of the population. I'd be ferrying them out for ever.

*Shrugs*

If you kill them trying to get them out then at least you tried. If they die then it's obviously re-incarnation saying "STFU n00b lol!!!111".

Where's Dringo when you need him?


No, I'm not burning down my flat, I just want to give him prison love.

I've decided on a path of action - I'll get them onto a bit of paper, hold it out of the window and blow them off.
I think they'd be too light and grippy to shake from a cup, but hopefull this will work.

Hedfix reminded me of that milk advert - with Prince Naseem and Chris Eubank crying about a spider, and the no-nonsense little girl drinking some milk then doing the glass and card thing.
It's quite amusing, claiming a no-nonsense approach, then d***ing around with an empty glass.
(No offence Hedfix ;^) )

Of course, of course.

Dead Spiders has/is/wants a p***y. Now I misunderstand fully.
