One thing I DON'T like about this warmer weather..

The bugs!! Ick!

I feel like everywhere I turn there is something ready to attack me. Okay, so I've only had to take care of three, but that's enough to give me the heebie-jeebies. I HATE bugs. A big-ass spider seriously almost just crawled on my back. I freaked out and started yelling, effectively scaring the crap out of Emma and the dog.

I have my vacuum cleaner on standby since that is my method of removal. DH said he'd spray the windows/doors tomorrow and I can't wait. It seemed to work really well last year so let's hope it does the trick this year too.

**I was going to be stupid and attach a picture of a scary looking spider to creep everyone out, but even looking at the Google page of images freaked me out so much I can't even commit to one. This is all**

My house is infested with ants. Every year. I can't win, they've taken over my kitchen of all places. We've tried everything. And I don't even want to talk about the bugs that were discovered in my basement...

I know what you mean!!

When we first moved into our house friggin' earwigs were everywhere. So gross thankfully now I mostly deal with spiders and sometimes I leave those alone to get rid of the other ones.

I do hate when I see spiders on my car, they need to stay the he!! out of my side mirrors.

I had a dream last night that I found a HUGE spider - like the size of my hand and freaked out over it. Probably because there was a spider in the shower when I got in and Jason refused to kill it for me. He told me I had to be strong and do it myself. I ended up getting it to go down the drain with the water...haha!

There was a GIANT centipede in my kitchen the other day - my dog was barking at it! Thank goodness DH was home. I can kill spiders and some other small bugs (while screaming, of course), but this thing was huge! Yuck!

I hate spiders too! Last summer I made Dave come outside because I knew he wouldn't belive me if I told him. I for the life of me can't figure out what kind of spider this is.

Usually I don't have to worry too much about centipedes, spiders (on the floor) or other bugs too much in the house because my cat seems to find them and kill them. We call him our little hunter.

I was just going to say that as bad as spiders are, they're nothing compared to the centipede's. My fear of insects is proportional to the number of legs.

I reallllly hate centipedes but this totally made me LOL My dogs would either play with it, or eat it.

Has anyone tried those things you plug into your walls that are supposed to help keep them away? http://www.amazon.com/Black-Decker-EX720-D6-Ultrasonic-Nightlight/dp/B0007CXT72

Our landlords left one in our house when we moved in and I really haven't noticed bugs in the living area we have it in. I am thinking about maybe trying one in our basement next and upstairs. The spiders are back! Luckily, my kitties like to eat them!

Hmm... I've never heard of those. I'd be curious to try one myself. We've used the Ortho spray on the windows/doors and it seemed to work really well after we used it. I believe it's supposed to last 3 months, so we may have to do it once again this summer but it's worth it!
