I just saw a heebie-jeebie creepy crawler menacingly wandering behind my calendar.

I don't kill all bugs, just the spindly ahkgsl;dghk; ones.

Anyhow, I grabbed the nearest aerosol type container, which in this case was Wizard Air Freshener, Beauty Rose scented. Or Wizard Desodorisant, Rose De Beaute. (Apparently, I bought this eons ago in Canada).

Long story short, I sprayed until the fucker stopped moving.

This took a solid 47-53 seconds of straight spraying, a pretty fucking long time to spray air freshener.

Bug status: drowned, half still on wall and half slithered down to the floor, where I assure you it will all remain until a supernatural power comes to remove it.

Draaah status: smellin' the roses.
 
I get a paper towel and squash the sucker in it.. this way not ugly bug gut stains on the walls.
 
I don't like to kill bugs either, but I have been known to spray flies with hairspray so that they will stop the annoying buzzing when I'm trying to sleep. I always feel guilty though.

Depending on the bug, your method is sure to leave me with piss shivers, hopping around my apartment, batting at my hair.

It's a creepy sight to behold.
 
With anything that happens to be handy... the most obvious would be any shoe lying near by ... but I have been known to kill bugs with cd cases , a drinking glass, a book , and if I happen to find it I might spray it dead with some Raid. :)
 
I find RAID to be effective. I find RAID flying insect spray to be especially effective. During the great wasp wars of '02, I found that any wasp hit with a high volume dose of RAID FIS would be stone-dead within 5 seconds of application.

But...Frimost says DDT is safe and effective so what the fuck do I know?
 
Depends, if I'm home alone I find a shoe and beat it until it fragments into a gazillion unidentifiable pieces plus a smear. Then I get a wad of paper towels to clean up the greasy remains.

If my husband's home, I scream really really loudly until he comes to kill it. If he refuses to kill it (he actually LIKES spiders, the freak) then I yell at him until he kills it. Then I yell at him for using MY shoe instead of his.

It's part of our marital dynamic.
 
I pick up the nearest shoe and smush it with the shoe... no matter if it's on the wall or not. that is, unless it's a bee or wasp, and then it gets the aerosol pool until it's been drowned.
 
If ya'll don't have the balls to take a bug between your fingers, seperated only by a tissue, and squeeze the life out, well then, you don't deserve that Bug's Life.


Ha!

Ha!

You make bug-squashing sound romantic and sexy.

How do you do that?
 
We should all hold hands with the insects of the world and dance around mushroom rings happily.

I wanna live in Never's Never Land.
 
Generally with my bare hands, if I think they need killing. Usually that only applies to flies and cockroaches. Others are normally removed if particularly pesky or just ignored.

A spoon full of fantasy helps reality go down.
If that doesn’t work? Opium.

I go to opium dens mother...
 
The only bugs I kill are fleas and skeeters, almost a full fledged animist or is that insectimist.
 
I never harm inferior beings. They get nudged into a paper cup and safely deposited outside.
 
I stomp on them. I know they are lessor beings and all. I guess I just figure sucks to be a bug. If they didn't go where they weren't wanted they would still be living their little buggy life.
 
usually I let them go out of the house but now i am at war with some black ants..I tried to be nice but than got bit a week ago in my bed and that was it...they get swatted with a envelope full of coupons...its like awhip...a quick no suffering death for them..
