Did ya try hair spray? What about air freshener...what else is under the bathroom cabinet? Toilet paper...toss a roll at it.

That's what I meant...hair spray. Accidently said bug spray. Never tried bug spray - it seems too obvious to work on these things.

My mom just checked - second one is gone too. I'm really freaking out.

Gypsy & Me · 09-15-2008, 05:41 PM

I made up a bed for you on the sofa Megan... come on over.

Suzy · 09-15-2008, 06:06 PM

OMG Megan I hate those things too. Like NOTHING crudes me out as much as they do

emilyann · 09-15-2008, 06:07 PM

LOL I would be def. FLIPPING OUT. I always spray buggies with air freshener, seems to make them less aware of their surroundings and what's going on then BAM I smash them with a shoe or wad up about 50 tissues and do it. I always have a fear that whatever bug I'm combating is going to JUMP and attack me or JUMP on my arm and get in my shirt.

Wanna here my centipede story? Great, I'm going to tell you anyway...

When I was about 11, I was home alone in the evening before my mom got home. I was laying on my stomach in front of the TV. Out of my peripheral vision I see this dark spot come from one side and in front of me-I look down ,and EEEK!!! I freak out, and realize it's a centipede!!!!! I get a shoe and smack it good a few times, and then get a kleenex (ok, 3!), and pick it up, then run as fast as I can to the bathroom to flush it. (Don't know why, it just makes me feel better-you never know, they MAY come back to life and crawl out of the garbage can!) Anyway so I calm down, and go back to watching TV. Then again I see something moving again, and I look down, and it's a few of the legs I missed when I picked up the body...they were still moving and twitching a few minutes later! EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

The moral of the story is: IF YOU SMASH ONE OF THOSE UGLY SUCKERS, MAKE SURE YOU PICK UP ALL THE BODY PARTS!!!

There, Megan, that will make you feel better...

MeganS · 09-15-2008, 06:37 PM

Thank you, Suzy. LOL j/k - that's mad creepy!

When I caught the baby one under the cup in the bathroom, a couple of its legs came off and they were twitching.

There is no sign of these bugs anywhere. Guys I'm so freaked. haha.

I have one word for you...actually two words, boric acid, it's sold at Home Depot, even super markets, make sure you pour this dust, behind the fridge, under your sink , inside cabinets, closets."out of reach of household pets"
It worked for me

Boric Acid Powder
