How do I kill bugs with preventative warfare???

[isaacmacdonald]

As I was leaving the house today I put on my shoes and stepped one foot back when I saw this giant f*cking tarantula looking spider that was just chilling out about an inch from where my shoes were. The thing was resistant to shoe hits and survived (though it was injured) everything but a direct hit with a piece of plywood. It was scary. To add to that, last night I had to kill 2 lesser spiders. At this point it's getting crazy.

What can I do to prevent these things from living in my house? Is there a preventative way to assure that they won't hide in my shoes and shiznit? Some sort of agent orange for spiders that won't give me cancer?

It's not like they're going to hurt you - just leave them alone. I rather have them than cockaroaches (sp?)

I will tell you not to go buy those sonic pest control thingies they do not work. I have some placed in my basement and I still see spiders. You could try going to Target or Sears and buy some of that liquid pest control stuff. I think it comes in a few forms Orchid ???? Marathon ????. Follow instructions and spray it around the base of your house and porch. The chemicals should keep the bugs away and I dont know if it is a carcinogen (just dont drink it or breath vapors). Also, that stuff smells bad...so be prepared to live in a stinky enviroment for a few days.

The idea of spraying toxic chemicals all around your house amuses me for some reason.

Suckers.

Just leave the spiders alone. Unless they're of the poisonous variety (basically black widow or brown recluse in the US) having a few spiders in the house is a problem that largely solves itself: if they're there, they're eating something...other insects. When the supply of insects is gone, the spiders either die or move elsewhere.

If they get big enough to challenge you for living space, just catch them and put them outside. They'll return the favor by doing their part to rid your yard of other nuisance bugs.

Screw that! Go buy yourself a case of Raid: Ant & Roach Killer. Spray it around the outline of your floors in each room, and all closets, then put a nice line outside your front & back door...

...Its kill or be killed bub, and they're eight legged terrorists from hell!

Killem All!

Just spray DDT around the house, no bugs ever again. Course, you might be dead in a few years to...

No kidding. I would rather face 10 men with guns, than 1 fvcking giant spider.

In my dorm room, we'd get bugs all the time, because we lived on the boiler room. The huge waterbugs were disgusting, and the bees didnt help either.

Then I found the solution. Airsoft Guns.

I swear there is nothing more satisfying that snapping a bee cleanly in half with one well placed shot. Hell, I used to enjoy it when bugs came after a while, cause it was so damn fun to pick them off. You have not lived until youve seen a waterbug explode from within after being clocked in the back so hard his brain ends up by his ass.

Seriously, try it. Its fun as hell, and you dont need to get anywhere near them.

Sell your house and move to a new one. Make sure its not another rundown home. Also, buy harder shoes.
