CHEESE. LOG.
Would probably try and shoo out a bee but pretty much any bug in the house will freak out at least one member of the family so weâre pretty casual on the killing front. Have one of the electric tennis racket fly swatters that is quite brutal (literally produces sparks when you get them) in a weirdly fascinating / satisfying way.
Was sweeping up the other day and saw a dead moth on the floor so swept it towards the pile - except it wasnât dead! There soon followed a comic scene of me trying to whack it with the soft end of the broom before I finally got it out the front door. Fuck moths.
Always a worry with butterflies, theyâre just not the brightest.
I rescued this big fellow that had escaped out of the butterfly room in an aquarium we go to a few times a year. Was very weird when I looked down and it was licking me with its tongue!
This post paid for by PROF$.
Ahh you mean monkeypeas!
Regular reminder the welsh word for woodlouse translates to ââpig of the treesââ.
Calling them tree pigs is pretty satisfying.
this is excellent
Harlequin ladybirds are problematic - theyâre the grey squirrel of the ladybird world.
Louse in the sheets
Yes but itâs one word ffs
Ah fucked it. Iâm not changing it you all know what I meant to quote
sometimes i hoover them up which doesnât kill them, they get a little holiday in the hoover before they get moved on to their forever home in the outside bin
Kermitwormit is a piglouse in the sheets
Will only kill a mosquito if it gets up in my grill at night and stops me from sleeping
This is one of those threads where nobody reads anyone elseâs posts isnât it
Bees and spiders always live.
Have had a problem with clothes moths across our last two homes (not sure if we took them with us or just bad luck twice), they are killed on sight - at itâs worst I would kill them with my bare hands - because they are too frequent to shoo carefully.
Flies, wasps, daddy long legs - will remove carefully if itâs convenient but I would have no concerns with squishing or zapping one.
i do.
genuinely the most distressing invasion
Genuinely canât remember ever being around a mosquito.
So itâs YOU whoâs been writing that graffiti!!
