Phanerothyme Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Originally posted by Zamo By any chance were you drinking copious amounts of alcohol and inhaling deeply from a particularly large spliff that summer evening? Personally, it depend on what mood I'm in. I was once stung by a wasp (I sat on it) and chased it around the room until I finally managed to get my squishy revenge. I left it stuck on the telly, entrails exposed, for two weeks as a warning to others! Just a glass or two of wine. With wasps I think you have to pick your moment. This was in the evening, so quite cool - and the wasp was quite docile. Also fed it chicken (I was very surprised it ate chicken) rather than sugar, so the wasp didn't start up with ADHD type stinging fit. Wasps are cool animals, you just have to understand them a little better and accord them the respect they deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much the same though... only exceptions being slugs inside the house and mosquitoes... for the latter I have NO mercy at all.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 All bees and some wasps get swished back out of the window, or picked up and put back out by someone else. Though if i am alone i will squish the occasional wasp if i am feeling brave. Spiders i don't mind they get to be playthings for the cats who are not bright enough to catch them, and Egor runs too fast and is too scary for them. Apart from ones in the bedroom, they get escorted out. Slugs, i kill them at any oppotunity. What is the point in them, they eat my garden and occasionally creep into the house. Smily horrid things. I have to say i am quite viscious with them, late night culls occur in the garden. Plastic bag with salt in, collect them, tie it up, shake them up and down.

SaxonLeigh Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 i used to sqwash them but i sort of empathise with them....how would i like to be sqwashed & killed by a giant just because they dont like the look of me? i dont really like creepy crawlies, if there is a spider stuck in the bath in the morning, i will put a piece of toilet roll over the side so it can climb out & its normally gone by the time i get home. if there is a flying stinging insect (like wasp) flying round me i just stay still & if there is one stuck in the window i get our small fish net to catch it an let it out side.

thenewborn Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 i dont really kill them that much, buti do find satisfaction in sicking the kettle on and pouring it down the ant hill on our path, also used to play wasp attack, where you sood next to a bin, banged on it, waited for the wasp to come out, then try and get it with a bottle and not get stung. i wa like lightning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Why do people get scared of spiders and things? The other morning my colleague at work was screaming I rushed upstairs thinking someone was being murdered when in fact there was the tiniest spider on her desk. I put it outside on the fire escape, but why get so worked up about a tiny thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont scream but I do remember sitting in a bath for two hours because a spider was staring at me and playing games with me by running backwards and forwards over the door handle. In the two hours I sat watching him play his menacing game I had named him Damien and had become quite attached to his fun personality-still didnt stop me squashing him with the door when I made a runner.
