ARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
THIS. IS. WAR.
Yeah, spray more chemicals. Pollute more water and air, your lungs and kill every living being.
You should get spiders. Two huge moist spiders live in my bathroom and they keep everything in order. Oh, and yesterday I just spotted a baby.
One thing is to kill some bugs if they are causing unneccesary noise, are poisonous, eat too much of your food or honeysuckle. But stomping on spiders without reason is just evil.
Sometimes, actually a lot of times, I just don't get people. Maybe that is why I am more of a loner than social person. "Lets just destroy everything we don't like, instead of learning how to cope with things and live in peace" -- should I be killing you, people?
Interesting post.
Prior to my one of my recent nightly shopping sprees which only consisted of me angrily stocking up on draino and other various cleaning supplies, I would clean with only water and baking soda. I do understand your point about polluting. However, I am not challenging what you've said - but would like to add that I would like to go a bit further with that point since it sparked some interest in me. I try to use close to or completely natural products - even for make up, soap, shampoo and conditioner, deodorant etc...but of course, it does not provide the same level of effectiveness as chemical products do; but I can compromise to some extent.
ARGGGGGHHHHH...I JUST SAW ONE BUZZ AROUND ME. Control...control myself...
The gnats must have came from the new plants to which I will be getting rid of shortly...unfortunately,
not right now, because they are not mine. As for the ones that managed to sneak in my bathroom because they are attracted to moist areas to lay their eggs...I am -not- going to let my bathroom or house become like this:
(Not a picture of my house, oh
hellz no!)
The horror, the horror.
Drastic times call for drastic measures...perhaps I'm overreacting, but hopefully this will be the first and last time I have to ever bring out the hardcore chemical cleaning products.

yeah, you should definitely never come over to my house. i have all kinds of bugs at my house that refuse to die and leave. cockroaches, spiders, ants, moths, flies, horseflies, and these skinny brown bugs that fly and have big black eyes. i actually don't mind the spiders because i like spiders. anyway, i keep fumigating every few weeks, but they keep coming back. try some of this stuff. it really works! (for a few weeks...)
Whaaaaaaa-
Is your house an old house? Do you know where they are coming from?
If it were me, I would have called/ begged/ dragged in the professionals already.
Reading your post and knowing what you have to deal with has made me feel itchy. ):
Bugs are fine...in the outside. If I disturb their home and they sting or attack me - that is my own fault. If they disturb my home, well...you know the rest.

I wonder if people in China see a bug and think "FOOD!" rather than "EW!" like we do in the west.
(no)

I have always had the craving for those brown round bugs. But these are only in China. Hopefully I will one day visit China.
In 2008, I did travel to China...and I did see, from a distance, what looked like scorpions and bugs on skewers. But as expected...I only looked at it...from a distance. I'm normally quite camera-happy, but even then...I couldn't bear going close enough to take a photo of it. I have this irrational and huge fear of large amounts of bugs grouped together.
Though admittedly, I did like watching an ant colony and bee colony because it's interesting to see how they all work together.
I googled more about bug-eating...and came across this:
Oh dear...what did they do to my beloved sushi...the 2nd one from the front left looks like it's ready to kill.
I suddenly feel itchy and am going to take a shower now...x_x
