Attacked by a vicious beast

[Dreamer]

I can handle moths, but palmetto bugs?....


FORGET IT!!!


You wanna see gay?


Throw me in a room with a one of those bastards,
and I'll hit notes higher than Mariah Carey on helium!


Those things fly, and will attack you!


I swear, they can smell fear....

The one that attacked me dud not look like that LMAO

Ah....at least moths will do nothing to you...over here we have a rather nasty species of recluse spider...some of you Americans have the brown recluse, we have the bigger and more dangerous Loxosceles laeta, it's present in 95% of Chilean homes...and about 5% of bites end up in systemic failure and organ shutdown...and death, specially if it's kids that are bitten.......for the rest, a nice big necrotic wound.

I've made a personal war of annihilation against it (as should every Chilean in his or her right mind) but they just never stop showing up! The best one can do is keep them in check and for goodness sake have you bed and furniture a few inches separated from walls...

Guess what!!!! Its back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see it flying by my light. What should I do? I don't want to kill it. I need to find a net and capture it.

[MisterTinkles]

Is THIS what you are seeing????

[southbiochem]

Oh come on! Just kill it...anyway...find what source of light is the moth attracted to and stays close to the longest, just get a glass to catch it, and something to cover the exit, and you're set..

In fact, Im tied to stake out in the yard, right now......

Try using yellow light bulbs outside. Supposedly flying things dont like yellow light, even though they love yellow painted objects.

I don't see how a moth, no matter what size, could be described as a "vicious beast". I was "attacked" the other day but it wasn't by a vicious beast. I stepped in the shower stall and reached up to get my face cloth that I leave hanging over the glass of the shower stall and as I did, the most enormous cockroach that I have ever seen, dropped out. I knew that it couldn't harm me but I had no particular desire to share my space with such an insect and I stepped out quickly. I disposed of it humanely and then continued with my ablutions.

I have no idea how it could have climbed up the sheer, shiny tiled walls or the glass of the shower stall and it is only about the 4th cockroach that I have seen in my flat since all the time I have lived here.
