Not even god's little critters are safe...

Yeah, I'm like scared to death of roaches, but I don't mind mice at all.

We started leaving out rat traps (snappy kind) outside to get rid of this MONSTER rat we had, and we got little mice all week. That weekend, the trap finally got the huge rat right on the face. He dragged the trap a few bloody feet away before finally dying from what MUST have been blood loss, I had no clue they could fit that much in them.

You've never actually had mice infest your living place, have you?

Man, I chased a mouse with an extendable lightsaber once.
It almost got to my comics. I was about to go ape shit.
Until I ran it into a mouse trap. In yo' face, btich.

Add in the fact that cute little mice leave cute little dumps AND steal your food, and you've got a recipe for a quick death.

Good point.

No. I guess I would have to experience it to know where you guys are coming from. It's just all the mice I've seen are the cute ones in pet-shops, they dont look at all like harbingers of disease and evil like roaches,spiders,and other small beasts that lay in wait to pounce on unwary people and their lasagna.

I remember we one time I walked into my kitchen and a mouse was standing on the stove. It just stood there and it felt like we stared at each other for hours picking each others minds apart, crazy. I guess that's my most interesting mouse story except for this one time one got into my mom's room when she and my sister were in there, that was the funniest shit ever, they were screaming and jumping on the bed holding each other for dear life like those women in Tom and Jerry cartoons, hilarious.

Me too. There's nothing that disgusts me more than seeing a roach... they're impossible to catch, because they climb the walls and ceilings and crap. I hate stepping on them, because they crunch, and I never have shoes on in the house. I like to maim them with a school book or something and then flush them and watch them struggle.

However, if I see a brown spider in the house, I'll escort it outside.

same goes with lizards.. tons of lizards around my house, and I'm sure they're doing a great job of exterminating roaches or whatever.

I hate roaches too and I was scared of them when I lived up north and all they did was crawl around and look ugly. Now I'm in Florida and I've discovered flying roaches that are like twice the size of normal roaches... wtf.

Was it a brown recluse spider?
If one of those bites you, it'll put you in the hospital.

http://home.texoma.net/~linesden/bite48.jpg - bite after 48 hours
http://home.texoma.net/~linesden/bite72.jpg - bite after 72 hours
http://home.texoma.net/~linesden/bite2yr.jpg - bite after 2 years (!)

So next time just do us all a favor and stomp the bitch.

Yeah, I have no problems with lizards. Use to catch the chameleons for fun when I was kid.
