With apologies to the Buddhists, I simply can't abide these creatures. They annoy me, and so I kill them. Unrepentedly.

I'll risk the bad Karma for some peace of mind - or I might end up at the top of a tower with an Uzi.

I try not to kill any living thing but a moth came out from inside my toilet the other day and I killed it out of panic.

Don't tell my former friend, or she'll be pissed. Actually, that's partially why she is a former friend.

We had an awful fruit fly problem last month. I can't tell you how satisfying it is to watch those little mofos die.

Flies only live for two weeks to a month anyway. I say, flatten the bastards.

I had those stupid little lizards come into my apartment in Florida once in a while. I really can't stand them and I can only imagine them crawling on me at night or something. So, if I see one, I freak out, then I get my plunger and chase them (which can be quite interesting as they are VERY fast and run up walls...) Finally, I capture them with the plunger which sits for days until they die. (they take 5 days to die! The first couple times, I removed the plunger in 1 or 2 days and learned my lesson by having to re-capture them!) I then take a WHOLE role of paper towels, pick them up and throw them out.
*shivers and gags*

Most people will capture them with a cup and then slide a paper under it and take it outside but they truly freak me out to no end!

I'm sorry lizard; don't invade my space and I won't kill you.

That seems rather inefficient. Can't you just squash them with the plunger instead of waiting around for them to die? What happens if the toilet clogs and it's only been 2 days?

Or if your plunger is inconveniently placed in front of a doorway?

Anyone I've ever lived with has been told up front that I will immediately move from the premises and break the lease if I see a mouse.

"That seems rather inefficient. Can't you just squash them with the plunger instead of waiting around for them to die? What happens if the toilet clogs and it's only been 2 days?

I can't kill them with the plunger because A) I don't want lizard guts on the plunger and B) You can't really kill it because it moves so fast so you go to put the plunger on it, and it's gone. It's a 1 time deal...it's quite a difficult task which took several attempts to find the most effective way.

As for the plunger being needed, I have another. I have the "bathroom plunger" and the "lizard plunger."


"Or if your plunger is inconveniently placed in front of a doorway?"

And that's happened several times in the past. It also sat in the middle of the kitchen floor for days.

Can you set traps for them or something? There's got to be a more efficient way than several days of inconvenience and an entire roll of paper towel.

The place I work at (a mini-golf place that's connected to a farm) always has a whole mess o' flies around. SO of course, we always have a few flyswatters handy. Though lately, we've been having a bee problem. Now flies, I can tolerate, but I can't stand bees. I see one, I grab the swatter.


I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Em- I'm moving back to PA in the next few weeks so I won't have to worry about it. I don't know that they have "lizard" traps. It almost sounds more torturous than mouse traps. (not saying that my way is less torturous...)

They are all around where I live and most people enjoy them and are happy to deposit them (alive) outside their apartment.

They give me the heebie jeebies.


They are usually a little smaller than this one:

I love those little lizards... they fascinate me.

It sounds hypocritical, but, I think leaving something to die over a number of days is inhumane. Killing a fly immediately doesn't seem quite so heartless.

But, I know... both are against nature.

Well, isn't the problem with just grabbing them and tossing them out the door that they can separate from their tails? Or am I thinking of something else?

Aww, and I ruv you.

Moths scare the crap out of me. I hate almost all bugs, but I think it's that frantic fluttering that really freaks me out.

We had a basket with the dog stuff, and I finally realized that the moth infestation in our house was feeding off the spilled dog food in the basket! I HATE MOTHS!

Windex. It immobilizes the fly and then you can swat it quite easily. Works with mosquitoes, too. And generally they'll land on a window, so you'll kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.

I am against killing birds, just to be perfectly clear. Like my windows.


Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married.
