... you occasionally have to watch the death knell of a mortally wounded insect as it desperately tries to cling to life amongst the jagged hell you have created for it

ZZ for short


I had a giant bug land on me last night, I think it was a beetle or something. Brown colored and a good two inches long, drat thing was the size of a cicada. No idea what it actually was

This is all great feedback guys, what a fantastic community effort!
I set up my foot moat and have duct taped a bag over my head.

Why do you have so many bugs in your garage? Do you live next to an open grave? Is it next to an actual dump? If you do, that's understandable, you are obviously some sort of hunchbacked cretin enslaved by a warlord who doesn't give a poo poo about things that aren't pet lions or solid gold Ferrari's.

Bold text is accurate.

[Edit: Also I live in the "thick woods of Minnesota".. There are a lot of bugs out here]

Gross, why aren't you wearing shoes? A man should keep his feet tightly enclosed in shoes (real shoes that conceal the toes and all skin below the ankle, not poo poo like like flip flops) every minute of the day unless he is swimming, showering, or sleeping.

People should grow giant bugs the size of their shoes and then use them as shoes.

Either alive so the shoes do the walking, or dead with a hole in the top for your feet.

I already did after I moved house in May and discovered the hard way they are endemic to exactly 50% of one single suburb in my entire country and the epicenter is apparently my living room.

I mean they're not deadly but they're not harmless either, they're like a land based wasp. Ie, rear end in a top hat.

These are the loving bugs I'm talking about, player! These and june bugs and huge dive-bombing moths. I literally keep a tennis racket next to me to shoo them away (the flying ones).

It's too hot for "shoes"

i suppose it does have 2 downsides as a pest control device:
1) its powdery and you have to put it everywhere but if you are in your garage who loving cares

and 2) you occasionally have to watch the death knell of a mortally wounded insect as it desperately tries to cling to life amongst the jagged hell you have cr

DE is like the 4 sided dice or legos of the insect world

From what I read their bite isn't strong enough to pierce human skin but still gently caress them all the same.



Terrifying.

They're super gross man. We've got some monster-sized specimens here and it bugs me out every time I see one scurrying around. I'd rather deal with a loving scorpion.

I saw a millipede the other day and had to remove it because the drat centipedes probably eat them too. They have even more legs but they're really short and they scoot around on them so it's not fundamentally disturbing to me like the hated centipede is.

I've always thought the centipedes were gross but what really set me off is I have a bathroom in the basement and it's a really old place so there's pipes on the ceiling above the toilet. Seconds after I got done using it a few weeks ago I saw out of the corner of my eye a centipede fall off the pipes. I would've landed right on me if I was still using it.
