What is your first reaction to seeing a black beetle scuttling across your lounge floor.
Do you kill it by stamping its guts out,or by some other gruesome method,or do you just leave it be.
Our cat chases and exterminates them,when we had bearded dragon lizards,aia used to pick them up and feed them to the lizards,what do you do.
Lets make it really interesting,any creepy crawlies at all,what do you do.

I really don't like creepy crawlies Jimbo,so my first instinct is to crush them and get them the hell out of my house.Mind you I must look a treat when it comes to spiders.We have huntsman spiders here and they are huge,ugly and hairy! I spray the heck out of them with fly sprays and then usually armed with a broom I try to squish them.Yelling and screaming the whole time (I really,really hate them).I once had a wolf spider in my kitchen,they are huge and poisonous.I freaked out! I managed to flick it into a pot in my sink and then I poured boiling water on it and bashed the heck out of it with a hammer hehehe I bet it must have looked hilarious.The damn thing was sure dead though lol.


myLot reputation of 99/100. nonew3 (886)   ranked 61 out of 399 in rihanna  3 years ago

I wonder which killed it first: The hammer bashing, or the boiling water? Hmmmmmmmmmmm...... LOL


myLot reputation of 98/100. ausnikki (1566)   ranked 62 out of 399 in rihanna  3 years ago

LOL I think the boiling water did the trick but i wasn't taking any chances.Those things are deadly!


myLot reputation of 82/100. jimbo45 (9407)   ranked 1 out of 399 in rihanna  3 years ago

hello again my ausnikki chum,
crush them,what a shame,lol
I have heard of the big spiders you have,yukk.
Why yell and scream,they wont understand you.
Wolf spider,gruesome I bet,but boiling water,lol,a hammer,lol,lol,I am not surprised it was dead.


myLot reputation of 98/100. ausnikki (1566)   ranked 62 out of 399 in rihanna  3 years ago

The spiders here are really scary Jimbo! They don't have big spiders in New Zealand where I come from so I have had to get used to the huge ones here in Australia. (shudder)It was definitely dead thank goodness,they are very poisonous.The small spiders and bugs don't really bother me too much,I generally just put them outside.


myLot reputation of 82/100. jimbo45 (9407)   ranked 1 out of 399 in rihanna  3 years ago

I know they are scary in Oz,and I am glad we dont have them here,but you do have a lot of things there that I wish we had here,like Bondai Beach,


myLot reputation of 98/100. ausnikki (1566)   ranked 62 out of 399 in rihanna  3 years ago

Thanks for best response jimbo:D

I try to flush them down the toilet. I use whatever means I can to achieve this goal. I grab a piece of toilet paper and smash it in it and then do the flush-a-roo, or whatever.

The aim is always the same: To flush it down the toilet.


myLot reputation of 82/100. jimbo45 (9407)   ranked 1 out of 399 in rihanna  3 years ago

I would laugh like hell if it wasnt dead,and it crawled out of the water and on to you while you were doing your stuff,lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. nonew3 (886)   ranked 61 out of 399 in rihanna  3 years ago

Scary thought! I'd better look into the toilet bowl next time!


myLot reputation of 82/100. jimbo45 (9407)   ranked 1 out of 399 in rihanna  3 years ago

Well,have any crawled out of the toilet then?Thats 3 days now since we last spoke


myLot reputation of 99/100. nonew3 (886)   ranked 61 out of 399 in rihanna  3 years ago

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAK!!! ARRRRRRRRRRRGH!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKK!!! GET THOSE PESKY THINGS OFF ME!!! LOL

Actually, nope. Not so far. So far, so good. I have perfected my bug-in-toilet drowning and flushing techniques. LOL


myLot reputation of 82/100. jimbo45 (9407)   ranked 1 out of 399 in rihanna  3 years ago

Glad to hear it,we had a slug climb out of ours once,the cat was bemused,lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. nonew3 (886)   ranked 61 out of 399 in rihanna  3 years ago

Moral of the story: Don't use an indoor toilet. In fact, get rid of all indoor toilets, and start using outhouses outside. Will keep the insect and bug infestation down to tolerable levels.

Well I would not kill the insect, cause I feel the insect doesn't know that we r scared of it. It is innnocent just lke animals. I would drive it away.I never stamp them if I realie they r i my way when I m walking. I have a lot of sympathy for them, since I learnt entomology in colleg.


beautiful insects

myLot reputation of 82/100. jimbo45 (9407)   ranked 1 out of 399 in rihanna  3 years ago

You are a good person,and you should be very proud of yourself,at least I wouldnt kill them,just feed them to the lizards

Where did you get your bearded dragons from Jimbo, I used to have them as pets as a kid, I did not know that they were available overseas to consumers.


myLot reputation of 82/100. jimbo45 (9407)   ranked 1 out of 399 in rihanna  3 years ago

Yes,popular here,captive bred,mine were crackers,and they are bigger here to,and they live longer and have even slightly adapted to colder conditions.I had 2,a male and female I bought as babies,and we bred them and made a fortune.Great pets to,my male used to climb on my back with my parrot and stay for ages,but I had to get rid,but I might get more.

Does he kill them dead,or does he show them some compassion,our cat is strictly no mercy


myLot reputation of 93/100. gabs8513 (19290)   ranked 19 out of 399 in rihanna  3 years ago

Lol he shows them compassion why do you think I sit with my feet up lol


myLot reputation of 98/100. mihimolly (4889)   ranked 80 out of 399 in rihanna  3 years ago

Our cat will worry,worry,worry the poor things before suddenly snapping them up. Its far to gory for me and I just dont look anymore.
We have rescued mice and birds from him before but insects and spiders must take their own chances.

6. myLot reputation of 97/100. Stiletto (3172)   ranked 22 out of 399 in rihanna   3 years ago

I hate creepy crawlies but I try not to kill them - if I can I put them outside but sometimes they just don't co-operate! Mostly I get spiders or moths in my flat. My cat is a pretty efficient spider killer but occasionally the spiders even scare him they're so big. I try to trap them in a jar and then put them outside but sometimes I just can't do it if they're too huge. I can't trap the moths - I get huge moths which scare the sh1t out of me. My cat is useless at catching them so unfortunately most of the time I end up killing them. I feel bad doing it but they should know by now to stay away from me!!


myLot reputation of 82/100. jimbo45 (9407)   ranked 1 out of 399 in rihanna  3 years ago

You sound like you are in a different country,we dont get big spiders and moths.Its the beetles that bug me


myLot reputation of 97/100. Stiletto (3172)   ranked 22 out of 399 in rihanna  3 years ago

Maybe my idea of big is different from yours but they ARE big!! I don't get beetles - that would be the last straw if I did!

I'm actually surprised by how few bugs and beetles we get in the house.
We get a few spiders, some get to be quite a size at certain times of the year. The wife freaks out and either squashes them or vacuums them up. I normally trap them with a cup or glass and put them outside, but sometimes leave them if they get somewhere hard to reach.

I think I'd have quite a different opinion if I lived elsewhere in the world though. I totally empathise with aussie girl who boiled and mashed a spider. I think I'd be digging out the blow-torch and barbequeing the bugger n'all! I'd certainly be taking no chances if there was even a slight chance of the blighters being poisonous.


myLot reputation of 82/100. jimbo45 (9407)   ranked 1 out of 399 in rihanna  3 years ago

Boiled and mashed a spider,classic mylot moment.
Blow torch and barbequing,classic mylot moment,
you see it all here
I just love the input on my stuff


myLot reputation of 95/100. rhinoboy (1354)   ranked 37 out of 399 in rihanna  3 years ago

Come on, tell me you've never bbq'ed any creepy crawlies after an al-fresco dinner (or is that just the psycho in me?!)

I've seen someone cook and eat an earthworm omlette before. Apparently, it's very nutritious. I think you would need to keep the worms in water a few dats though, otherwise the soil in them would be all gritty when you chewed, wouldn't it?


myLot reputation of 82/100. jimbo45 (9407)   ranked 1 out of 399 in rihanna  3 years ago

Oh man,I have just had my breakfast,
I have eaten worm like creatures when I was wasted for a bet,jellied eels,yukk

The big cockroache that we have in Texas I hit with the biggest heaviest shoe in the house since the cats don't want anything to do with them, but the lizards we get I let my cats take care of them, they love playing with them and I have actually seen my big boy (avatar photo) actually eat the head of one, unsure if it just made him unhappy or he was just hungry, but needless to say they always kill them for me, such good cats I have.

One of the first 'blogs I ever read was about someone's cat and more specifically the animals it brought home either live, dead, or eaten!

Well I live in one of those crap breeze block houses built in Scotland in the sixties so if I see a beetle scuttling across my floor I know I damn have to get the hoover out and hoover round the edges od the room otehrwise I will be plagued by them. They love the crumbs and stuff lying on the floor!

I have my kitten now though and I am sure he would love some beetles as he loves flies! Yum yum!


myLot reputation of 82/100. jimbo45 (9407)   ranked 1 out of 399 in rihanna  3 years ago

Yes,the cat will eat beetles,our Tigger does.Get a granite house in the country,and then the cat will have mice to catch to

It's a big delema here. My daughter is afraid of them. She calls me to kill them only I want to set them free. She wants to see them dead so she doesn't have to worry about them crawling on her.
