I'm sure that I misused it, but I meant 'tickled pink', 'happier than a wallowing pig', 'pleased'.

Do what I do with spiders, spray them with hairspray and light them on fire!

I would do that, but it might burn the garage down. Very Happy

Guess that would solve the problem, though. We have lots of wasps and spiders around here. I hit them with Windex and they plummet to the ground.

nothing I hate more than spiders.

I hate spiders and snakes. Sad

Don't want to be anywhere near them. I have to find someone else to deal with them for me. At least my cats kill any spiders that get inside. I knew I shouldn't have opened this thread.

I could tell a story about snakes and cats, but I'll refrain. I'm sure it would piss someone off.

Why would you want to get rid of some nice shoes?

If you want, I'll send you every moccasin I find.

I live near a lake. I found a water moccasin curled up next to my sidewalk one evening. Sorry, @ED, I introduced it to Mr. Axe. The snake ended up with a short lived splitting headache.

We see a number of these bastards every year. They end up saving me a lot of money - there's no need to go to a cardiologist for a stress test when they are around.

nah flame throwers cost to much and burn down houses... why not mix "X" and "Y" to make government grade roach foggers. Gas mask not included. Laughing

However if you must burn something up these are much cheaper and you get to drain the containers of alcohol in the process! It's recommended that you sober up before using said devices:

Huh - technically we're not allowed to harm the little critturs here because they are protected by law. Doesn't mean we obey it though Twisted Evil

Well, buckshot works wonders on snakes, at least that's what I use on the rattlers around here. Snakes don't bother me much, but I tend to kill the poisonous once on sight and leave the others alone.

I've seen mouse lures for bass fishing before. You could always cower and go fishing to drag them out in the open. Laughing

I don't know how you'd manage to get them off the hook though.

A policeman was passing by and he killed it with a machete

I had car problems once when I was working in Fiji I pulled over and half a dozen locals came running towards the car waving machetes it was scary until I realised they where simply using them to point out the object dangling from the bottom of the car.

Was the policeman off to do a bit of cane cutting or was it a service issue machete?

The officer keeps a machete in his car to kill snakes. Because we are in a lush, subtropical area, we have plenty of snakes. Too many.

Sounds like you need a good hunter. I recommend you get a couple Maine Coon Cats.

Yes!! Mainecoon cats are awesome! My Harley is a mainecoon mix and he loves bringing me things he has "hunted" in my apt..

Okay, I've done my research on the Maine Coon cat, and that looks like a great choice. Very interesting.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Sorry, but someone had to say it!

You are the only one who would say that, beause you are the only one who has seen the movie!

They are very lovable (if raised gently, like all cats) and HUGE! And, some of them like to play fetch. Thier purrsonalities are unlike other cats.

Have you noticed how many threads turn into cat threads? Laughing

While on the subject of animals of the 8-legged variety

Held one of these once.
*** link Not safe For Arachnophobes *** Very Happy

At the time I actually wanted one as a pet - makes a change from fluffy things with claws and teeth - but never got around to acually taking the leap.

Those who have never held a Chile Rose will not believe how soft its feet were - like little pads of silk Very Happy

Those are pretty cool Smile

I'm not afraid of spiders unless I think one is biting me.. That was an expensive ER bill.. Shocked

So you found a way to get rid of them then?

Shocked
