Blowtorches are for scorpions in the garage. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're also useful in that they can get rid of the other unwanted pests which may cause physical harm and skin infections from their bites. The OP's post is funny nonetheless! Edited: One of the best ways to get rid of spiders is to vacuum them up. Works every time.

Last November our apartment building wing had a major fire. We had been having an ant problem. After the fire, no ants until just recently we are seeing a few. But still, I'd rather take the ants than a fire! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edited: One of the best ways to get rid of spiders is to vacuum them up. Works every time. Ha, The spiders in the closet where you keep the vacuum cleaner- guess where they came from? Don't try that one with wasps. When you shut off the cleaner they come back out, rather ticked off too.- Source; voice of experience Edited October 25, 2018 by Neighbor 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She swallowed a fly. I don't know why she swallowed a fly. Perhaps she'll die. and then I think she also swallowed a spider, It riggled and giggled and tickled inside her. Think she swallowed the spider to catch the fly inside her. I don't know why she swallowed the fly. Perhaps she'll die.
