Dude you know those things can jump like 6 feet. I usually use Raid wasp/hornet spray followed by a boot.

Love the baby formula can. I've got plenty of those around.

That's the scary part. Where did it come from? It dropped in that shower and was unable to climb the walls or glass to get out. I've had to get a couple of those hairy bastards out of my kids shower. There's nothing above it, no holes, not even a light. IDK My perosnal faves are the scorpions though. I freakin' hate those things. We moved into a new house, the first in the neighborhood, and I literally killed an average of one per day for 6 months. These mf'ers hurt. I would find them in the bed. They dropped out of the recess lighting. The would be on top of a door and fall down when you opened it. It was a nightmare.

Wow. You guys are a bunch of wussies. It's just a little spider! Truth be told, I'd rather have spiders in the house than any other pest. Seriously. They really do more good than they're given credit for.

Actually, I take back the 'wussies' thing. I may not have a problem with spiders, but I can't, in good conscience, call you guys that since I literally shriek like a little girl and scamper away frantically whenever confronted by a bee or a wasp.

Oh, and don't even get me started on cockroaches. I don't have them, and I don't fear them. But I saw so many of them during my days as an appliance delivery guy to have developed a major psychotic freaking hatred for those things. 'Rage' is putting it lightly. We're talking Incredible Hulk type stuff here.

On the other hand, I find cricket chirps soothing. Go figure.

I once ate a live cricket on a bet in college. Won a case of beer. Not bad. Beer and cricket.

I would have never done that with a cockroach though, Those are disgusting.

My dad found half a cricket in his taco once when I was a kid.

I never ate at a Taco Tico ever again.

I took a bite of some pepper steak once, my wife looks at me and says what's that, and then proceeds to pull a very long roach's antenna from between my teeth and scream. The roach's friends were in my fork, but he had made it into my stomach.

If you've ever seen Ace Ventura when Jim Carrey realizes Finkle is Einhorn and uses the plunger on his face in the shower...that was me when I realized I had eaten a cockroach.

I still feel sick to this day.

However I did have chinese food tonight, just not from that place.
