It was so hard to finish with you staring at me...
 

This might be a bit TMI, but I was just taking a poo. It was going wonderfully, but then I looked over at my shower and saw a HUGE spider. I had not noticed it the entire time. It was HUGE, and it had really long legs.
This topic is to discuss weird ways you've killed insects. Because I chose a very weird way.

I'm scared of spider, centipedes, any kind of insect, really. Even beetles. Ugh. So smooshing it would involve close contact, which I WILL NOT DO. Normally I'd just get my dad to do the dirty work for me. He's my grasshopper getter whenever one finds its way into my room. (Which happens too often!)
But he, and my mom, are asleep for the night.

So I'm sitting there (Not still on the toilet, mind you. I finished that quickly when I saw the spider) thinking of ways to kill it, when the PERFECT solution comes to mind. I decided to boil some water and splash the lot of it onto the spider. And I did. I boiled it to a rooolling boil. Trust me, it was rolling more than the rolling stones. xD

And it worked. I think. I nudged it with a broom handle, but it twitched. I think I'll boil a bit more water to really make sure I finish the job. It's on the floor of my shower, still. I'm scared I'll forget it and have a nasty shock when I take a shower tomorrow.

So. Weird ways of killing things. Anyone got any?

Woah, that was the weirdest story ever. Unfortunantly most bugs I encounter are in carpeted roofs, so throwing water wouldn't be a good idea. I mean, it's a good idea! But not with carpet >_> I'll keep it mind however for next time...

And the most random story of the day goes to.....

ok, that's just nuts...it really is. But I know what that's like. I can't take a shower with a spider in the room..>Its just wrong!

Hey Madd...You're bday's the same as my brother's

I killed a roach with a Bible before. XD
Well, I thought that I had killed it. I dropped it on the thing...
But then I lifted it up 'cause my cat wanted to eat it, & it started to scurry away D:
So I dropped the Bible on it again & then jumped on it a few times...
Hey, it worked XD

Lol!
I think that the weirdest way that I killed something was an ant, by suffocating it in a glob of Vaseline. I'm surprised that it worked.

HATE spiders >.< If one's in the shower and not near the spicket, I normally turn the shower on and let it drown... Or go running from the room repressing the urge to scream till I find some one to do it for me. (which isn't easy, mind you, I live alone...)

But seriously. I love snakes, and would rather have one running loose in my house then a spider anywhere within a ten mile radius of me. @[email protected]

xD I've thrown shoes at bugs on the wall in an attempt to kill them. If I HAVE to kill them myself I have to get a massive amount of paper towels or toilet paper before I'll get anywhere near them. -shudders- But I'm more afraid of moths. Dx

LMAO JAMES.
I LOVE YOU BABE.

But, on with the topic.
There was this spider on my roof for like a week straight
right? So I'm like STUPID BUM, GET OFF MY ROOF. One
day I was walking to get some food, and the spider was
hanging off the ceiling. Silly Amy, being the observant one
she is, almost walked right into it. After that, I was like
OH NO, WHAT DO I DOOOOO? So I took a video game,
and a book and tried to smush it in the two. That failed
epically, I ended up cutting my finger in the process.
The spider flung onto the floor where it twitched and tried to
move with it's broken leg, so I smushed it by dropping
my game case onto it. ~ Later that day ~ Walking back
from the pee pee palace, I stepped on it's deceased body
with my bare feet. Yuuuumz.

PS, thanks for telling us all you were taking a poo.

<333

I think you're using the word 'kill' a little to casually and passionately. :l

We get a ziplock bag and I go outside and let the spider or insect out. =) That's my method of dealing with them, anyways.

I find this thread too sadistic and somewhat violent, so I'll be taking my leave now.

Don't mistaken me for a "oh my god save the animals" hippie - I'm not. I just respect their life, that's all.

There's only three things that I am willing to kill for the most part: spiders, ants, and mosquitoes. They are less scary than cockroaches which make sounds when you squish them and that is disgusting! D:

I despise most of the bugs you hate to. x.x;

I'm surprised the spider was still there after you took all that time to boil water. Usually I run away to find a killing utensil and come back to find the sneaky bastard went and hid somewhere.
That is a pretty creative and cool method though, despite taking awhile.
If it were me, I probably would have screamed and then ran away doing the spider dance whether or not I was done on the toilet. :sweat:

That spider has issues xD
How big was it? *o*

Poor spider but he deserved it. hehe

Very interesting story. =3 Sorry you had to go though such a... strange and unpleasant situation. :XD

I can't think of any strange ways I've killed a spider before. owo (Or any other insect, for that matter~) I'm a sissy when it comes to killing bugs. >_>; If I have time before the thing scurries away or one of my pets attempts to eat it, I'll usually get a box, bag, or cup and release it outside. The only insect I don't do this with are ants. 8D At least, large amounts of ants. I don't give them mercy. D< We have a stash of "ant chalk" that deals with them quickly. *luffs it for it does not smell like most bug sprays, and one can be artistic with it* I never thought to do this before, but it'd be funny to draw a skull in an ant prone area... xDD

Hehe. When I was little and unaware of the amount of germs that flies had, I used to try to catch them with my hands. :D At least the slow ones~ *wonders if that can count for being weird*

I can't really think of any weird ways I've killed bugs. Usually I just either ignore them or find a paper towel or a shoe or something and squash them.
Bugs don't bother me unless they're either crawling on me or very close to me.

xD I've almost walked into spiders dangling from the ceiling several times. Once a spider came down when I was at the computer and it was like, an inch away from my face. I flung myself out of my chair and screamed hysterically. xD

i really dont like to even be close to bugs even though for some reason my siblings always come to me and in a panic and tell me to kill the bugs.
The weirdest but most convenient way i kill spiders is to use lint rollers. there was this huge (3in.) yellow spider on my bathroom wall and i didnt want to squish it with toilet paper because you can still feel the spider being squished and also i was worried it would scurry away from under my hand so i had to be creative and since it was really late my brain wasnt working right i was like "oh lint roller" *squish* "nice"

I hate most creepy-crawlies... or I think it was all... I did as you did before, boiled water than poured it on that... I think it was some kind of... slug? -_- It just looked weird, disgusting, gross, and I felt it was staring at me! It was going to get me! T_T (Paranoid much. XD) Well, the weirdest thing that I did was... catching a med-sized spider in a jar, placed it in a big white balloon, then sent it to the air. -_-
