What was the biggest thing you killed and how did you feel about it?

I do capture and release the baby lizards I find in my house. Unless my Mini Schnauzer gets to it first.

So, you guys have a fancy term for…cockroach

I'm from NYC and a Palmetto bug is nothing compared to those flying roaches. Yuck.

I get the call for spiders, any and all spiders that find their way inside, which I'm fine with... keeps me from washing dishes.

I hate Praying Mantis. They remind me of Alien. They always look threatening, always ready to bite your head off. lol

Can't say I can hear much over my screaming.

I dunno why but that's the only bug I cannot stand! They could find out tomorrow roaches have feelings and souls and families... I will kill every single one that gets in my house IDGAF!!

Luckily I rarely see them in the house in FL although when we got back last time we had like 3-4 in just a couple days time. Had my pest guy do the inside of the house since I usually only have him do outside and never had an issue.

I think a roach and a palmetto bug are the same thing. At least I haven't been able to find anything online that distinguish them. My pest guy seems to believe roaches are the small ones that are usually in large groups and the palmetto bugs are the big nasty flying loaner fucks! The big ones are the only ones I've ever had to deal with. They can all die as far as I'm concerned!

Esteban · 08-27-2022, 06:14 PM

Used to see them all the time when I was a kid. No roaches here, where I live now, thank God.

I think they're majestic and not scary. Definitely would relocate to the outside if found in my home, couldn't kill it or would want to.

I kill them on sight. Even when I squish them, they still stare at me, all defiant, right until their death. I think they're creepy.

Esteban · 08-27-2022, 06:34 PM

^^ the monsters of the insect world. I'm sure you've heard the stories about the female biting off the male's head during mating. There's something seriously wrong with that.

I've heard but unless I plan on doing them, I should be safe haha.

Personally, they're more than an insect and they don't harm us and probably kill real pests to us.

No, no prejudice. To each their own.

LMAO. So funny, but srsly, I think they're pretty cool. Could you please have some restraint and relocate them instead next time and say it's for an online buddy if your wife looks at you weird

Okay... for you I will.

But only the NEXT one.

All others I see after that are toast.

Esteban · 08-27-2022, 06:57 PM

Unless you say pretty please. If you do I promise I will relocate all that I see.

First one I saw in Florida I thought was going to be my last day alive…..F’ing gross. I see one and that thing is obliterated in 2.6 seconds

Lizards are spared, unless the kitties see them first

Thank you for being a man of honor. The Mantis Preservation Society salutes you!

I somehow really like those buggers as far as insects go. Hope they appreciate it and kill all the true pests around your home from here on out.

We get a ton of lizards outside but my kitty isn't allowed out so she can only watch them from inside the window.
