For really really bored people

The spiders we get bite. If they are in my house, and they are foolish enough to let me see them, they are history.

I yell for DH. He gets out his bug can, and empty coffee can, and scoops em' up in it and throws em' outside. He caught 4 spiders in it at once a couple of weeks ago....a record.

A slingshot and a ball of aluminum foil works very well.

at supper were part of our ecosystem that we should not touch....and the same goes for "MY" deer that I bagged last year and the moose that my husband and son brought home last year and we fed like six families out of it....and the turkey that will grace my table next weekend....well I guess I will go and lawn graze for a bit...and hope that none of those little buggies and spiders get between my teeth.....

but watch out during that lawn grazing pumba - hope you haven't put on the fall weed and feed treatment stuff yet

LOL Pumba! I squish them too!

Those nasty things terrify me. Sometimes I even have nightmares about them. So (sorry to offend anyone) if they are in my house they get killed.

Some of you will laugh at this part:
If my husband is not home and I have to actually kill the spider myself I use one of his shoes. Here is my theory: Others in their "family" might smell it on my shoe and all come attack me! I know it isn't a valid concern. But it makes me feel better knowing that the junk isn't on the bottom of my shoe.

Yes, I know I need help!

 

[pumba]

of a shoe.....and yes it was my hubbies...and walk the shoe to the location of said spider to squish it on his.....and then I would do the shiver dance.....blahh....heebie jeebies...but at least I knew it was a goner.....

 

[chell]

and then I would do the shiver dance

And I thought I was the only one that does the dance!

 

[pumba]

that do the shiver dance.....or the heebie jeebie dance....

I built this house for people. I kill bugs. I never knew I was wrecking the entire ecosystem of the earth.

 

[Beanie]

Shiver dancer here, too!! LOL


Donna, I agree!

Oh how I am afraid of spiders! I am so bad, I get made fun of... which isn't nice! I am getting slightly better, in that I won't go and wake up DH unless it's a centiped, but if there is a spider in my house, it's going to spidy-heaven... sorry! There are soooo many spiders just in my little house, I hardly think I'll mess up the world by killing them.

I usually smash the heck outta them with the biggest shoe I can find. Then, DH has to come clean up the wreckage. I always do that little hibbie-jibbie dance too... I can't help it. I think it's because I'm afraid that when I go to smash it, it'll run up my arm and attack me or somthing! EEEK! I'm ready for a new thread now!
