DDDDDDDDDDDx Too many bugs!

At my house, we are having a big bug problem. Flies, Cockroaches, and 2 inch beetles are popping up ALL OVER OUR HOUSE DXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDX

What's worse is that I have Entomophobia (Or the fear of insects) so everytime I see a cockroach crawl by my foot, I scream and run upstairs. I'm not too afraid of spiders, so it would be better if they started to run over here and eat all the bugs  big_smile

Anyone else having a bug problem?

No, but I understand you're scared! Well, I hope it gets better.

Re: DDDDDDDDDDDx Too many bugs!

Entomophobia? Try this: Put your shoe on and stomp it. Don't get freaked out and run upstairs.

And keep squishing it until it's dead. And you know it is.

Re: DDDDDDDDDDDx Too many bugs!

We used to have a centipede problem, and it was awful. They would show up in random places in our basement, and some of them were like two inches long. It was scary. But I could never bring myself to kill them. I would feel bad.

SPIDERS!!!
I have Arachnephobiba and Arachnophobia. They have the same meaning.

The phobias list wrote:

Arachnephobiba - Fear of spiders.
Arachnophobia - Fear of spiders.

Every time I see one I scream. XD
Except dead ones.

Ewww...*faints thinking about a spider that big*

The biggest spider I've ever seen (other than at a zoo thingy) was about the size of a penny.

I've seen 4 in our house.

The first one I forgot.
The 2nd one was in my mom's room, it was on the wall and the size of the shift key.
The 3rd one was in my room, same size, but was coming for me. I pwned it though.
The 4th one was in the bathroom. There's a dead one there (but this isn't the spider im talking about), the live one was the size of a dollar bill cut in half

Re: DDDDDDDDDDDx Too many bugs!

It's not uncommon to see a cockroach skittering across the floor of our house... but they're friendly.  big_smile

Kidding about the friendly part.

Anyway, our method of removing them is very complex. Here's how it goes:

1) Get a cup.
2) Get a piece of paper, a thin piece of plastic, or something else flat like that.
3) Put the cup in front of the bug.
4) Put the paper behind the bug.
5) Push the bug into the cup with the paper.
6) Cover the cup with the paper.
7) Walk to the front or back door of the house.
8) Open the door.
9) Toss bug as far as possible.
10) Close the door.
11) Put the cup in the dishwasher.
12) Put the paper where you got it, or throw it away, or do your homework on it, or feed it to your gerbil, or...

Yeah, very complex [/sarcasm]

I see spiders all the time at our house...in fact, a small spider is living in one of our kitchen's ceiling lamps right now.

Re: DDDDDDDDDDDx Too many bugs!

I would be having a bug problem, but for the last few months, it's been freezing outside, so they're most likely dead. Right now, though, outside, it's really hot. But bugs can't survive in here because the A/C is always blaring day and night, in a few different rooms, too. It's murder on electrical bills, but worth it, I guess
