dale#1 1 Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 What do you do? I move them if possible. Link to post Share on other sites
barok 0 Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 I also move them - sometimes you have to kill them though - say you have ants - they have gotten into your cereal or rice or flour or whatever, even if you get rid of your flour, and your rice, and everything else that you have opened and lyin` around, you still gotta kill `em, cuz they will find something to get into. and that`s a shame, cuz I really like ants, hard-workin` little critters. Gotta kill roaches too, same sort of infestation problem, but I hate roaches anyway. Spiders - I let them hang out - they are good to have around, but I draw the line when they start laying eggs - don`t want a million spiders hanging around. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 Move the stink bugs ... very gently. I once killed one that was inside my trouser leg - squashed and mashed it flat, and quickly realized what a horrible mistake it was. Link to post Share on other sites
mikazooki 0 Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 i went all buddhist and didnt kill anything for a period, even giving mozzies the flick. but then one day, out in the wilds, a couple of army ants got inside my tent - the one inch long types. i evicted the first but the second proved more difficult and looked keen on paralysing me with his viscious poison and devouring me whole. so after a few unsuccessful flicks, i murdered the bastard, and ive never looked back. i still move when possible, but mozzies in the vicinity are issued with the death penalty. i would like to kill leeches, but they often get the flick... too good for 'em in my books. most other critters are free to share the world with me.

zwelgen 0 Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 depends on size and speed. If they are small - kill If they are fast - kill If they are big - move If they are big and fast - kill I used to be a chronic arachnophobiac but since being in Japan I dont mind them so much. They can hang out in corners catching stuff until they get into the big category and then the party is over Link to post Share on other sites
oo 1 Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 Whats the biggest you've seen in Japan. Them long things with billions of legs creep me out, as well as finding a cockroach in your house. Awful Link to post Share on other sites
MistaSparkle 0 Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 Zwelgy - love the logic chart... I was finishing up a tasty bowl of mabo-chahan at a standard hole-in-the-wall chinese food joint a couple of days ago... One of the people I was eating with seemed preoccupied, staring at something above my head, and looked as though she wanted to say something... I asked her what was up, and she pointed to the lightswitch above my head which had the most gigantic shiny brown roach i've ever seen crawling on it..... UGHGHGHGHGH... I swear I leaped halfway across the restaurant ...I get the chills just thinking about it... Link to post Share on other sites
mikazooki 0 Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 i went to a cave in borneo, where the ground was covered in guano, which was covered in roaches... i fib not, when i tell u there were more bugs than an indianna jones movie. the whole floor literally moved, all shiny and brown, and they covered the hand rails of the wooden walkwasy that traversed the cavern. it was cooool.

mikazooki 0 Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 bat poo, and lots of it...metres deep. they stuck to the rails and not the path below your feet. i wouldn't want to go stepping on these guys lest they share some telepathic connection and set upon me. Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 I do try and move them whenever possible. Unless they are bugs that are annoying and only cause trouble. Especially cockroaches and those annoying little moths. You may not get them in Japan, but over here they really dirve me mental. They get into all the food and lay larvae, then more moths. Damn things. Ants i try to sweep up and put outside, im sure this kills some of them though. Any other nice bugs who come in accidental i place outside on a leaf. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 Lots of big bugs over there then? One good thing about the uk is the relative lack of big bugs. Link to post Share on other sites
amandanism 0 Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 we dont get many bugs in s'pore. just tiny ants, that are literally everywhere and mosquitoes. mosqiutoes i tend to kill. everything else i move. Link to post Share on other sites
nzlegend 1 Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Oooh I HATE moskeets (local word) I hate, despise that high pitched `yyemmmmmm` as they buzz your head as you are trying to sleep. So spiders are free to do as they please in my place as they eat Moskeets. Frogs, bless them and bats! anything thats eats Moskeets has immunity from persecution from me, Roaches get smoked as too houseflys and wasps and moths that dive bomb my head. anything else is free to live.

kintaro 0 Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 mosquitos and roaches: KILL! Kill to the point of extinction. C'mon...let's all take up arms and do our parts this summer! Spider is not an insect...but move 'em. They kill bugs! Link to post Share on other sites
RamenTaro 0 Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Move them when possible, don't like them though - specially in my kitchen. Link to post Share on other sites
nekobi 0 Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 i hate bugs, but i have an out of sight out of mind policy. if i see something on the wall i just hope it goes away (esp if i am alone) then i forget about it. but if someone is with me i make them kill or move it. i dont care what happens, as long as i cant see it.

mogski 0 Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Bugs live unless they are attacking me or taking my life source in some manner. I have an understanding with the spiders in my apartment. They stick to the roof out of my way and reach and they stay. Any lower and it's tissue coffin followed by a 4 story drop! Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 If it is outside it is free to roam (unless it's a mosquito). Inside it depends on what mood I am in. Used to go bug hunting around the house with an unloaded paintball gun. Very fun and loud. Link to post Share on other sites
