    haha, my bf is just as scared of itsybitsy spiders as me...but he still has to catch them for me and put them outside.
    Same with a bat that flew through our home one evening.
    Why not be mediocre and be the best at it that you can be?

    Oh dude :( You don't kill 'em.
    You set 'em free...

    if this bug was in the house you should've caught it and took it outside. i don't like bugs and i get scared of them too, but i catch them and throw them outside myself. :cool:

    I am not catching them!

    I don't have a handy dandy bug catching kit just sitting around the house.

    ooops, used a proper pronoun on that last line ;)

    By the time I would have got those materials the bug would have been gone and then I'd be on patrol all night.

    C'mon, there's gotta be other bug squishers out there...

    Bugs and spiders do not faze me.

    It is the creepy, crawly centipedes and millipedes with all those legs that give me the heebie-jeebies. :eek:

    I dislike earwigs - probably because of the name and the mental image I get of them crawling into my ears at night when I'm sleeping. eeyuck! Other than that I'm cool with bugs. I felt like a foster mom to the ones in the pic. The momma lived by my doorbell all summer and moved to behind the mailbox in the winter; then in the spring . . .

    it's the opposite in my family- the women kill the bugs while the men run screaming into the other room.

    I don't like bugs, but you have to just suck it up and deal with it. Hello, I've got house centipedes. Have you seen these things? No one's going to kill them for me, I have to trap them, spray them, and dispose of the remains.

    Bugs do not bother me at all. I've always been the bug-crusher at work/home. Mice, on the other hand, FREAK ME OUT!

    I don't know. We had the infestation of the 17 year locusts last summer and I stayed in for two months. But, I personally would not care if all of them got killed and never came back; the awful beasts.

    :confused: 17 year locust are awesome. They are cool looking. We had them here in Maryland in '04, my dog liked to eat the shells that they shed after emerging from the ground. :cool:

    lol....

    I really don't get freaked out by bugs. I have seen this bigass spider in my house a couple of times but it's not bothering me so whatever...plus it's bad luck to kill them.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    Omg :eek: I had a problem a couple of years ago - they were coming in during the summer :confused: and then my cats would chase them around for HOURS but wouldn't kill them. One weekend my ex was out of town and one broke into the house...and I called my mom to come rescue me at 3am :o I wouldn't go back home until it was fully exterminated. We found out where they were coming in and blocked it up. Block up any openings around pipes in the kitchen - that's usually how they come in.

    Are you using good old mouse traps or some of those new fangled traps?

    I can remember sitting downstairs at my folks house watching TV or playing video games and here a trap go off in the kitchen and racing upstairs to see if we got one.


    Luckily, I haven't had any problems with mice at any of my places.

    yikes...........

    must be a guy thing because there were many drunk men in this area that were daring each other to eat them.

    I am out on the bug thing. I am so intimidated by anything with guts. If I can just step on it and get rid of them, then it's ok. But once it has guts, well then it no longer is a bug to me but instead a small rodent.

    Borrow a bunch of cats from the pound. That'll take care of your mice, and you'll be doing something nice for the cats. Problem solved :)

    The only thing that ever bothered me was this flying beetle.

    They are fairly large and it always seemed to me that they were dive bombing me. Hated them, but they were only around our fig and peach trees so I just avoided those when they were out. :)
