Although he left a nasty bite, he obviously lost the attack. Do Gus or Cleo help at all? Insects don't last long at our house as they make great pet toys :-) Sorry but the bee that bit me today got slapped and then smushed. Although he left a nasty bite, he obviously lost the attack.

Because they are actually on my team. They eat the bugs I *don't* like. The key point is, they have to stay out of my face. Once they're in my personal space, they gotta go outside. 2) Slugs. Because if I step on them, I'll never ever ever ever get *all* that slimy gick off the bottom of my shoe and I'll have to burn it. Erk. Slimy gick. (I usually just beat slugs with a rock. You can throw away a rock.) I can bear to smash most bugs, but draw the line at two of them:

You have a good system to handle them! At least you can get close to them. ;D Love your glass! I can barely deal with anything that has a stinger and spiders are no fun for me either.

You can manually close the trap on horizontal surfaces. I agree with you about sending the bug to its chilly fate. I hate bugs. http://www.leevalley.com/garden/page.aspx?c=2&p=44895&cat=2,51555

I actually use a 4x6 index card that works really well in insect entrapment. I eagerly go after hornets- DH's skin crawls with those and avoids them like the plague. Kind of funny as he's 6'6" and the insects are much more afraid of him. I do the same thing minus the neurotic piece, but had to laugh at the bathroom scene you conjur up.

Couldn't you just leave the glasses with bugs under them for your Jack? Then he could deal with the little trespassers as he finds the glasses. ;^) xo You are just adorable.
