I have a pet house spider. As crazy as it sounds, he is in between the window and the screen in a very high window right next to my bed. He's too big to get through the screen and is just a regular brown house spider. To get him out I would have to take the screen down and he would probably just go into the wall in his little hidey hole between the wall. That must be how he has survived all the while. I watch him make his web inside the screen and if anything is small enough to get in there... it's lunch.

I'm not going to kill him. Why would I do that with all these dsgusting bastard ass thieving roaches around.

At least he's up there earning his food and his ass tends to stay put in his little set up he's got going.

Now when i find out he is a she I'm going to wake up with little tiny baby spiders crawling all over me and I'm afraid some of them are going to get squished, bless their little teeny tiny hearts.

Humerously (to me) theres a much bigger chance of her being really hungry and just eating her kids herself when they hatch....

Ahh the beauties of nature.

Yeah, you're probably right.

I could tell you this really disgusting story that happened a few days ago but I'm afraid I will have a flashback while telling it. I'm completely traumatized at how disgusting it was. I bring it up... well, because i was trippin balls. Ok... I was NOT doing anything illegal. Allow me to explain. I have a little bit of a nagging cough lately not been feeling too good and something i found that makes me feel better is well, robotussin. I also picked up something called vector shot from a little shop i go to over on beachside. it said sexual party enhancer or some crap so i thought it was like herbal female viagra or something. I look at the ingredients and it's a bunch of herbal shit but they sure did find an interesting combination here.... anywho...

I kid you not.... I mean I'm a light weight at 90lbs but a few robotussin caps and then i took this vector shot knowing it had caffiene in it and it was the weekend and thought it would be fun to do while i work in the house. Holy crap my pupils have never been so big. I'm not sure if I can recommend this product to anyone especially while on robotussin unless you are really into wiggin the fuck out.

anyway.... moral of the story is.... Do NOT trip in a house where there is a chance that you will see one of these wonderfully disgusting acts of nature.

I seriously think I'm going to throw up just thinking about it.

I came very close to becoming an arsonist that night.

Spiders freak me out enough as it is (i shuddered when I saw this and the 1 above). Its taken me years to get used to sleeping in the room knowing that theres a harmless house-spider in the room, and to relax and not hunt it down armed with my slipper and a can of deodorant!

.

But Im too neurotic about tiny things that can actually kill me, I'd never sleep. :S

i once accidently sprayed one with Cooking Oil!!!!!!!!!

it looked like it was sick, but it didnt die

FuzzyWitch said:

Damn it I didn't realise you meant real earwigs!! I hate looking at these things they creep me out.

I thought the thread was about those songs that get into your head and you can't shake them.

Where's John Goodman when you need him?

JUSTERIN

I feel your pain.

My parents have earwigs in their backyard. All the outdoor furniture & such has to be constantly washed & sprayed. But I've never seen them indoors.

Will it make you feel any better if I re-post my House Centipede pic?

Imagine having a house full of THOSE bad boys!

I dont like the name "earwigs" makes me think of them going in my ears!!

My mom had to go to the emergency room to have one removed from her ear. It crawled in there while she was asleep.

tinaz said:

OHH GODDDD NOOOOOO!

Earwigs received their name from an European superstition that claims these insects crawl into the ears of people sleeping and burrow into their brains. While this superstition is false, the name stuck. Earwigs make a positive impact on the environment by preying on plant lice, a highly destructive pest. But they are better known for damaging vegetable gardens, flowerbeds and soft fruit.

It did happen to my mom, but it certainly didn't burrow into her brain lol!!

Move around in the house, just don't move to the garden! That's a loosing game.

I'm waiting for Rodeoschro his contribution to this thread with his specialism in war on rodents.

Do you have a war strategy and plan B ready?

My mother relandscaped a couple of years ago; she started having an earwig problem. The non-chemical approach didn't work. Her garden center told her to spray (can recall the chemical solution, i think.. 2tsp for ever gallon of water) all around the base of her house and 6 to 8 inches out from the house. Those things start popping up in our area around the end of June early July, so my mother sprays the first week of June and first week of July.

She hasn't had any issues since.

I just read this ~ if it's any help ...

Management

• Manage your earwig problem several ways. Keep them out of your house by spraying water mixed with essential oils such as citronella oil, cinnamon oil, clove oil or lavender oil around places they might enter the house. Or trap and kill the insects outside your house by using traps made from tuna cans, rolled-up newspaper or bamboo tube. Put a bit of tuna fish oil in the trap to attract the earwigs and place the traps near plants just before dark. In the morning, shake the earwigs out of the trap into a pail of soapy water to kill them. You can also spray your garden with an earwig insecticide.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to PEI tomorrow but on Tuesday, I'm stripping the rooms, and making this space their worst nightmare.

They can live outside...just stay out of my house!

Apparently they are so stupid, they don't know how to back up...so they go into these traps and get stuck.

Disgusting and dumb.

The earwigs were there before your house was.

You're barbaric.

Seriously, I'll ask her for the info and return ASP.

How to Get Rid of Ear Wigs

http://www.howtogetridofs...-ear-wigs/

the info here is very extensive. i hope it helps.

I hate those. They very rarely make it up here (3rd floor) but every time I've been out fantasy-LARP'ing, camping etc they pollute my life. I HATE them.

There was an earwig colony right outside my kitchen...had a 5 foot tall bush and if you brushed it, they rained down on you. Had to cut that bitch down.....felt like I was in creepshow one day

Roaches are definitely worse. We get those from time to time.

Hey Nick! Guess what happens when roaches fraternise with the earwigs

now that is just NASTY

who the hell would ever put that fucking thing on their arm, that guy is not right.

I don't even have to kill these stupid idiots. They have made their way in and there is nothing to eat so they are just dying on their own.

But anyway, phase one is done. Room has been striped, cleaned and all baseboards have been sprayed.

I'm playing Leo Sayer's greatest hits all day long on my Cd Player, hoping it'll drive them away, or to suicide.

well i was camping at the weekend for the first time in years at the 80s rewind music festival outside perth in scotland and when i went into my small tent to sleep after the first day...i switched the little light on i had and the tent was crawling with spiders and earwigs... ...now i aint that worried about creepy crawlies but i hate those earwig things ...so i got a packet of baby wipes and proceeded to grab anything that was moving in that tent with a wipe and throw them out the tent...a big pile of baby wipes outside the tent that night ...

.

i didnt get a great sleep as you could imagine and i think i will give the camping a miss the next time i go to a festival..maybe a camper van ...that would be more me...
