Today it was around 32 Celsius (it is 2 am I am way too tired to find out your Fahrenheit), and very humid. I had my windows open because the air in my room was so hot and sticky.

Soon, a large bug was creeping around on my computer table. By large bug I mean almost an inch long, brownish, terrible, flat, disgusting, 6- or 8-legged being with plans to invade my room and then do things I do not want to know in detail. Now I am usually a rather tolerant person with insects but this was too much. I killed him. Soon afterwards, two other bugs landed dangerously close to my naked feet. Brave fighter I am, I killed them too. Then I had enough and closed the window...

If the bugs' intention was to kill me, they are pretty close to reaching their aim. Before long, I will be cooked, or rather, simmered, because of the closed windows in this heat. Does anybody know a way how to get fresh but bugless air?

shit... speaking of bugs, there are 2 crickets hiding somewhere in my basement. they chirp constantly, 24/7. It's driving me crazy. When i try to go find them they hear me and stop chirping and then i can't find the damn things. And you know, crickets are really disgusting, they're big, ugly, and dark and carry parasites and look really gross. So if you wanna come down here and help me get rid of them, O slayer of insects, I would be forever in your debt.

i catch the bugs and let them get sucked into my pc through the 2 front YS-Tech case fans. i think that will slice em up nice and get rid of them for good. plus i super glued a piece of rubber to the back of a grasshopper. i gonna try a length of string next have me a grasshopper as a pet

screen (skrçn) n.
A window or door insertion of framed wire or plastic mesh used to keep out insects and permit air flow.

Won't that leave a nice bunch of bug goo inside your case? Or is that a little known overclocking trick?

You performed admirably under pressure.

My hot button is centipedes. Whenever I find one, all else goes on hold whilst I kill it.

Past methods of execution employed:

- Pellet gun (sorry, no real guns at my house)
- Lighter fluid (ignited)
- Oven cleaner (ignited) (we were out of lighter fluid)
- Bug spray (ignited) (we were out of lighter fluid)
- Sledgehammer
- Big fucking rock
- Cinderblock
- Sparklers
- Butane torch (fuck the lighter fluid)

Usually, however, it's some combination of the above.

I hate secada's or whatever they are called. They're big, ugly, stupid and fucking loud. What do they do? What is their purpose? I DONT CARE. Kill them all. I like those giant-bee like bugs, which are known as secada killers. They are cool. They eat their brains and stuff. I don't bother to kill the secada, cause they are too fuckin big and they cruch.

Another bug... Earwigs. Those motherfuckers snap it you when you try to crunch them. Makes me nearly vomit. I stick with the bug spray.

Posted by The_Stomper on Aug. 15 2001,12:49

Heh. Anything that bites or stings, I'm probably allergic to. So if I hear something buzzing nearby, it's pretty much a given that it's going to be pulp in the next couple of seconds. However, there's one exception I made:

About a year ago, my family decided to buy a tent trailer. It was a great bargain - it even included an active beehive. The things were living in the metal framework of the "trailer" part. The fucking bastards came and went almost constantly all day.

One morning I decided I had enough. I went out nice & early with my trusty Zippo and a can of hairspray, and emptied a half-can of the shit inside the spot where they came & went. Then I cooked the half-dozen or so that managed to get out.

Man, did it stink around there though. Burned bee reeks, take my work for it.

or did you mean Neil Sedaka?

I don't mind bugs that much except ones that BUZZ NEXT TO MY FUCKING EAR.

Exceptions :

wasps
earwigs

jeez, they have no function. They should be sooo eradicated.

Posted by pengu1nn on Aug. 15 2001,14:39

i don't mind bugs to much but i fucking hate flys. they are nasty little creatures, that leave their larva on you food or sink or where ever, then it turns into maggots and then i can't eat rice for about 2 years. and they have cousins and shit too. the fruit fly, goddamn they piss me off. too fucking small to smack. always buzzing around the kicthen (or the out side trash can) like they fucking own the place. the fucking dragon fly. fucking shit they sting your ass every time you go swimming, and it leaves huge weilts (sp?).

just say no to flys.

Posted by damien_s_lucifer on Aug. 15 2001,16:26

dragonflies are cool. then again I've never been stung by one. I didn't even know they COULD sting.

Bees, on the otherhand, need to die... they hover around, and when you try to walk / run away they FOLLOW you....

I call for a jihad against all insects and arachnids. Sometimes genocide is a good thing.

Posted by demonk on Aug. 15 2001,21:22

I have a better solution than mass killings. How about a non-aggression pact? We agree not to stomp and kill all the insects outside as long as all the insects stay outside and off of human beings. They don't bug us(no pun intended), we don't bug them. Sounds pretty fair to me. Now, who here speaks insect? We need to meet with their ambassidor...

I steped on a hornets nest once. Ouch... I was about 6 or 7. Since then I have been terrified of them. Now they just annoy me. If you don't piss them off they don't bother you much. I still don't like to hang around with them though.

I think it's cecadas (chi-cha-das), but I'm not quite sure either. That's how it's pronounced though.

I loathe scorpions. I once went 30 minutes in the morning with a scorpion on my shirt, until I saw it and thrashed it mercilessly.

Prefered methods of desposing of the scorpion problem:

Freezing in a glass of water
Burning on the stove note: This smells awful.

Yes, die at once.

Cicada.

I hate mosquitoes ... and horse flies ... and bees ... and wasps ...

I swear, some of them still come after you after you douse them with a faceful of bug spray...

Posted by pengu1nn on Aug. 16 2001,05:46

horse flys,

thats what i ment. not dragon flys. can dragon flys sting/bite?

Posted by The_Stomper on Aug. 16 2001,05:48

Hehe ... dude, dragonflies don't sting. That musta been something else.

And no matter what, if you smack a hornet, you either soak it with water or get the fuck indoors. When those things get crushed, they send off a signal to any other hornet in the area - and they get PISSED. Yes, all that emphasis is necessary.

Posted by Nikita on Aug. 16 2001,05:50

I had a friend's mom who was attacked by a swarm of hornets and almost died!

She had to burn or bury all the clothes she was wearing when she got swarmed. No matter how many times she washed them, they attracted hornets from god knows where!

Posted by LiNeY on Aug. 16 2001,05:51

My solution:

My sister used to have mosquito netting around her bed for a while some time ago, so I just digged it up in the cellar and draped it in front of my window. It looks pretty weird but so far it served its purpose.

Oh yeah and anything with burning the bugs sounds fine! Gotta try that sometime...

Posted by Dark Knight Bob on Aug. 16 2001,05:57

dragonflys do attack anything that flys into their airspace cos they very terrritorial and they can bite though i usually feed em to the fish before they get a chance.

man i hit the deck when hornets fly past me them things louder than a B-17 ffs!

Never been stung by a wasp or hornet in my life. only ever been stung by a bumble bee and that was the only time ever so i could be allergic or i might not although seeing as i sneeze when i start to think about sex ( this aint no joke, probably something to do with a sneeze being 1/4 orgasm or something) i probably am allergic :/
