Insect Murderer

    Me and the insects / spiders have an understanding, don't fùck with me and I won't fùck with you.

    I don't mind spiders, they take care of any flies that hang around too long. The GF always wants me to kill them since she's terrified of spiders but I just grab them, put them out the window and let the little buggers be on their merry way.

    Though there's nothing quite as unsettling than seeing a gigantic spider, getting something to put him in and returning to find him gone. Don't want him crawling down my mouth when I go to sleep. :(

    Last thing I need are more spider eggs exploding inside of my brain again..............boy, that was an embarrasing dinner with GF's family when hundreds of baby spiders crawled out of my nostrils and ears.......

    I've never really understood the level of cowardice it takes to kill a spider.

    Spiders kill flies and other annoying bastard insects so I don't have to and they're bloody harmless. Spiders are my friends.

    I order assassinations on spiders if I see them, that's after I run away from them to a safe distance of course.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 504 ✭✭✭buswankers


    I make my best efforts to shoo them to the nearest window...if its a fly i'll try & swat him in that general direction...spiders i try & trap under a jar or something else (the see through lid of cotton buds prove very useful in these situations) & will proceed to throw him out the window (2 story house, but spiders always land on their feet don't they?!)

    If my efforts to vacate them from the premises alive don't come to fruition then the hoover comes out.

    Oh & its really only spiders/flies in my bedroom that bother me - dont really mind them anywhere else in the house cos they wont be near me when i'm asleep!

    I try to shoo them out, I really hate and feel guilty killing them :(:(:( I killed a daddylonglegs a few years ago and I'm still traumatised

    Spiders are ok as long as they are not near where i am sleeping


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,408 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Zero tolerance on both, they must die.

    Spiders especially. Pick them up with toilet paper, drop them in the toilet, piss on 'em (optional), flush.

    Love spiders, have a few pets down the side of the fridge. Flies and Bluebottles get accidentally swatted towards their webs.. oops.

    Guy in my old secondary school, used to crush the flies against the window then eat them :eek:

    I flipping hate flies, they are disgusting, I generally use a magazine or whatever is handy at the time to try and kill the little flippers.

    Spiders are ok if they are not in my bedroom or bathroom. Otherwise its "Sorry Mr. Spider" and he gets the boot slammed down. :)

    Anyone else read this as "Insest Murderer" initially?

    no? just me?..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,631 ✭✭✭✭Hank Scorpio


    Moths are bastards, especially when they keep banging into the light. They made a racket, some of them are huge


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,813 ✭✭✭TPD


    Moths I'll kill, spiders I generally leave alone. If it's particularly big and nasty, i.e. I can hear its footfalls, I'll glass the fcuker. (and escort him to the window, throw him from the 1st floor, watch him land without a bother and run into the grass to plot revenge..)

    I release them into the wild if they're annoying insects. If they're minding their own business I sometimes let them stay.

    I just found a mouth flying around so I chased him until I caught him between my hands and let him out the window. I did this a while ago with another moth but I ended up accidentally squashing the little guy. :( A moth recently left a hole in my favourite t-shirt but I don't think that justifies murder.

    I once found a may bug on his back in the footpath. He was struggling and was going to die. I felt sorry for him so I picked him up and turned him over.

    I don't even kill mosquitoes when one starts drinking my blood. I just blow him away.

    Anyone who kills spiders has no right to complain about other insects in their house by the way.

    Just wasps and weird looking insects that look like they might mean business.

    this looks like a case for columbo


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,466 ✭✭✭✭Our man in Havana


    Wasps always mean business. They have to go immediately.

    I leave spiders alone as they get the flies.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,689 ✭✭✭✭OutlawPete


    I kill nothing, I live in harmony with all life's creatures. Why only last night I had an orgy with all dust mites in my mattress.

    No, but on reflection, there should have been :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,271 ✭✭✭annascott


    Gently and respectfully escort spiders off the premises. Muder flies.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,029 ✭✭✭✭Chuck Stone


    Flies die.

    Spiders out tha window.

    Moths die.

    Bumble bees are my favourite insect cos they're friendly and wear cool fur jackets.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,028 ✭✭✭✭--LOS--


    I mostly leave them be, they dont bother me, sometimes I escort them out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,372 ✭✭✭im invisible
