d) I am Chemical Ali to most of the vermin and insects of my 0.25-acre kingdom.
b) Much more effective for cockroaches.
h) The only effective way to kill mosquitoes.

Welcome to GTP, and a little taste of Southern Florida.

Depends on the bug. I do all of the choices, except g. You should add one more option. "Train your pet to hunt them down and eat them." I've done that too.

Who the hell throws bugs at a wall? I don't think that would be effective.

I either squash them somehow (rarely), or my most common method is to vaccum them up. It's mostly the vaccum, because the most common bug I get in my house are centipedes, which are among the most disgusting looking creatures on the planet. That, and most of the time, they are big enough so if you did step on them, it would leave a good sized mess behind. Otherwise, I'll normally let bugs live in peace since really, they aren't doing anything.

You forgot the "cook and eat" option And the " place in envelope and mail to France " option.

 

[Jacks]

and the zap with electic fly swat option 👍

Throwing them at a wall

 

[Quick_Nick]

I spray airborne insects to knock them on the ground & then I vacuum them up. It seems to work very effectively.

 

[code_kev]

Stomp them in to oblivion.

And the pulling all the legs and wings etc off so you get a little ball thingy. These make a fantastic snack.

All the pesticides, fly-swatters, shoes and rolled up newspapers don't come anywhere close to achiving the kill ratio of my most lethal bug killing weapons: my vehicles.

Each trip on the highway in the Florida summertime results in an insect holocaust on the grill.

Kitchen antibacterial spray will kill almost anything. It's particularly good on spiders and best on moths. One squirt and the moth dies on contact.

Failing that I shout at them until the sound pressure kills them.

 

[Touring Mars]

I bought a UV lamp to zap them... but one time, I saw a fly heading towards the lamp, and it suddenly had a heart attack mid-flight... but it's momentum carried it far enough to hit the lamp and the electric shock restarted it's heart and saved it's life...

I usually smash them with a newspapar or my shoes.

I can see it now. A skinny, british guy running around his kitchen yelling at a fly.

My dad keeps trying to hide our "Die Fly" from me.

I'm like an assasin with that stuff, it'll teach those wasps to leave me alone when I'm trying to take a shower.

Damnit Event! I can't stop laughing.

Oh, and Carb Cleaner baby. If that doesn't work, or if I can't find it... I use this PB Catalyst. It will melt a plastic cup... you should see what it does to flies.

I want to see what it does to the surface it hits after you miss with it.

I live in south florida as well. bugs are scared of me though....i haven't been bitten in a while. but, a lot of bugs hang outside of my front door, so they always wind up flying in the house somehow, and they always end up in my room. so, i just have the lights off and my tv and/or laptop on full brightness. the bugs fly on the screen, and I give them a fierce strike.

one time we had one of those huge mosquitos flying around our rug...so i flipped the rug on top of it and just stomped it to hell and back. he's dead.

another word of advice...Do Not smash bugs on your wall after they've bitten you multiple, multiple times. I have a huge grey stain on my wall from when I smashed a mosquito which bit me several times. there was a 1-inch diameter blood spot around the crushed pest. damn thing.

 

[standard235]

Thanks Omnis. For alowing me to regurgitate my food... all over the monitor

I just read the title wrong again... I thought it said "How do bugs kill you?" I must really be dyslexic...

"Freeze! Team America World Police, put down your WMD's!"

Ah yes one of the many joys of living in a wet humid climate, bug killing. Its not a sport when you live in these types of conditions. Oh no. Its a means of survial.

You get creative. You spend countless nights in your summer room, planning, watching, and learning about enemy. You have to stay on top of it, because believe you me, they are doing the same type of planning back in their mound. Its you, againist thousands and the odds are againist you. So you remind yourself you have the bigger brain.

Sometimes, you have to admit defeat and call in the pros. Oh yes, you see those extreme cases. Driving down the road, seeing that morbid site of a tent covered house. Its not pretty, but it happens. You just drive by, and shake your head hoping the house makes a full recovery.

Its not pretty, but ask any floridian that question, and you will receive a million different responses. From burning the whole yard, to bombing your own house. People say there is a war in Iraq. I say, the war is right here at home, and the ememy is multipling.

Those bugs which die on the roadways are not forgotten. Too often, they permanently corrode the paint of any automobile.

yeah, seriously. when i went to orlando our car looked like it had insect-body parts and guts camoflauge. I had to squeege [sic?] the windshield because there was so much bug-smear coupled with our already-crappy windshield wipes.

Yep. I have several pock marks in the soft lower airdam of the ZHP that are distinctly in the shape of 'lovebugs'.

My favorites are the fat beetles. You gotta love bugs that make enough noise when they hit the windshield that you have to wonder if it was a rock chip kicked up from the semi you're behind. Of course, rock chips don't usually leave a pastel colored streak on the glass.

This is why I love the Turnpike rest stops Free automatic windshield sprayers that also hose down the whole car. 2 minutes, then you pull over and wipe down. Voila. Makes those trips to South Florida much easier on the Glasurit paint.

Plus, for some reason, I love the rest stop names. I can amuse myself by saying "Ooooohh ka HUMP KA!" over and over again.
