Critters 4, Humans 0These clips made me laugh out loud. No, I'm not happy to hear that people torched buildings and caused damage. That's not funny. What is ironic and comical is the extreme measures people take to deal with their fears or to eradicate creepy crawlies! I identify with it. I really do. Although, I must admit that I’ve never tried this method myself in dealing with my fear of spiders. And upon further thought, I think it's best that I don't try it. I'll stick to my bug-spray, then kleenex-squish, shiver-as-I-flush-twice method for now. It works for me. And about the 2 flushes, since I know someone will comment...it's necessary. It really is! Have you not watched any horror movies? The bad guys always come back. One shot to the head is not enough! I don't want any of these spiders returning for a 2nd round, and so the double flush method is a proven warfare tactic for yours truly. Don't laugh!

Not quite like the small, square yellow sticky notes at all really...think legal size post-its!!

I never thought of flushing twice...what I good idea! I hate hate hate spiders and bees...and those centipede things with the weird look antenna...I can handle roaches and snakes...but those other three things...I cannot stand! I am using the flush twice method now
Uh-oh! Now I am spreading my paranoia. It's contagious,I guess. HA! But I just want to make sure those spiders are really dead and not going to fight the flush current and crawl back up. IT COULD HAPPEN... :)
