I just flick the buggers around the room. Too many moths, not enough bullets.

It looks less dead than like it's, um, offering itself.

Works like a charm. If they resist, cup them in your hands and release them manually.

I remember trying to shoot a housefly with a birding point from a 45lb bow. I had to explain the long black rubber skidmark on the ceiling when my then-boyfriend got home.

You're a better shot than me and I salute you.

What's that phrase about sledgehammers and walnuts?

Deleted user 22 July 2006 10:19:42

"Walnuts taste better than sledgehammers, unless you're allergic to nuts" I believe.

That's the one! In conclusion, you should have thrown nuts at it instead.

Deleted user 22 July 2006 10:20:40

What's wrong with not killing them? Why would anyone kill a poor little cr�atur like that?

I personally just chuck 'em outside, but why is it that moths and daddy long legs and stuff just home in on your face?

edit - mind you, I say I throw them outside, but go within a foot of a daddy longlegs and it disintegrates.

I think that they're drawn to the carbon dioxide and the heat. Try hyperventilating when they're in the area, and they should leave you alone.

you bastard..I could understand if it was a spider or a wasp or a waspspider

Deleted user 22 July 2006 11:15:26

That was a complete waste of ammo, verm. Next time just flick it to death.

Deleted user 22 July 2006 11:52:17

We've got one of those "Insect Vaccum" stick things. It gently sucks up the offending winged beastie, and you just pop it outside, and karma is restored.

"Real men" are all gay. I was working with a "real" man the other day, and all he did was keep lifting his top to show off his abs, and when he walked anywhere, he had that funny kind of "shat himself" gait that those types of people have for some reason. He was 47 and single. 47 FFS, and he spoke to you as if he should be your hero. The other regulars I work with were all similarly bemused by his "real manliness".

So much for "real" men.

Gay.

Be nice to the little creatures, you 'orrible bastards!

A glass and a piece of paper, fool proof.
I dislike cleaning up squashed bugs, capture and release is easier and less clean up.

I killed about 20 with my windscreen last night, but my ego doesn't need to be stroked.
