I'm all for equality of the sexes, but squishing large bugs and disposing of dead rodents fall squarely in the realm of boys' jobs.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05940936362201799176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12047376.post-8192451857549503502009-05-26T11:03:01.945-05:002009-05-26T11:03:01.945-05:00Ewwww!

The extermina...Ewwww! I can't handle bugs at all.<br /><br />The exterminator who used to treat my house would call me when he was close to my house and I would leave work and meet him to let him in. One day he got there a couple of minutes before I did and asked me if I was having a problem with roaches. Thankfully, I never have. He said when he was in his truck sitting in my driveway he could see them falling out of the trees in my yard. I almost moved out.<br /><br />But then I survived a foot long rat in my kitchen a couple of years ago and I've stayed because I can't think of much worse than that to deal with.Sauntering Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14828034063817184110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12047376.post-43218817634928824382009-05-26T09:52:42.245-05:002009-05-26T09:52:42.245-05:00I have no problem with bugs for the most part--I h...I have no problem with bugs for the most part--I have happily shared my shower with spiders. As long as they're the modest little brown house spiders who stay tucked away in the corners. If they're the big, long-legged spiders who dash about--well then, those get magically transported outside in a paper towel or a cup. Even I have my limits.<br /><br />I do occasionally get an invasion of large water bugs in my kitchen pantry. I apologize to my inner non-killing Buddhist...and then I put out those little bait traps. I acknowledge their right to exist, but they need to keep out of my food.lizgwizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907508137794025189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12047376.post-86204461557691019112009-05-26T07:26:47.355-05:002009-05-26T07:26:47.355-05:00A bug that big should be paying you rent.

We live in the woods- the real woods with coyotes in the yard and animal fights on the deck. Needless to say, the outside is always trying to get in. We almost had to move (for real) because I had such a break down due to fears of spiders, mystery mice (that got in my PURSE and ate my holiday fudge) and bugs that were entirely of my own imagination. <br /><br />The exterminators fixed all of that. It does not cost as much as you think. They figure out what you need and how often to come. <br />Want more info? Let me know. And hang tough, I know the trauma.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12047376.post-77469531356396987672009-05-22T21:15:57.578-05:002009-05-22T21:15:57.578-05:00Recent wave of sneaky, scary-fast spiders; recurre...Recent wave of sneaky, scary-fast spiders; recurrence of chronic depression; return of insane Oklahoma summer heat. Yeehaw!<br /><br />So, how big is this bug, really? Like, measurements? It's helpful to have this info, in order to properly commiserate/help you freak out.<br /><br />Just moved into a new house, bought from old people who hadn't been able to maintain it in a few years. Have found out that, joy of joys, it's majorly roach-infested. I was reading, the other day, and felt a creepy-crawly. I knew there were oodles of bugs, but am still waiting on bug guy, and told myself it was just paranoia. Then it happened again. Roach crawling on me. If this place were more than one story, I'd be happy to give them one. :)<br /><br />In short, I feel you. Also, it's summer -- WHY ALWAYS WITH THE BUGS OMG?!
