Reminder to everybody about critters in the summer

"Man dat dude done got bit by one of dem Bad Excuses" to quote a bystander of a patient with a bee sting that was having an allergic reaction.

Rust Monkey, put a black snake in the garage with the car and you won't have to worry about the mice...

 

Then put a Wolverine in there and and the snake is no issue.

 

Yeah, I kind of thought about the fact that the black snake would have helped with the mice, but dam# I HATE snakes!

 

HAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA I got coffee coming outta my nose ! my wife is terrified with mice too! Thanks for the laugh!

 

A few months ago I was stung, in bed, on the side of my nose by a scorpion.. half asleep, brush,brush with your hand at something tickling, then Zing! You know, I have allergies, stopped up all the time, after that sting my sinuses drained out and for a couple of days I've never breathed better! thinking about taking one with tweezers and stinging myself again..Sally was stung on the inside of her thigh by a brown recluse, turned seven spidery colors and Shes OK didn't lose any flesh or scarring...

 

WTF!....Oh man, this just reinforces why I hate spiders!

Biggest problem around my house are ants... I swear my house is built on top of a giant ant hill, they arent in my house, but ant hills everywhere!

hitting a javilina at 70 mph will ruin the sheet metal and suspension

i hate fuckin' spiders, up here we have wood spiders that i've seen up to 4 inches in diameter and they jump! always in the garage and shed. this thread gives me the heebee jeebee's. did i mention that i hate fuckin' spiders?!!!

 

Once worked at a hospital where the boss called me out to a manhole cover in the parking lot. There were hundreds of cockroaches coming out of it. Boss was giggling to see that two were doing the nasty. Next thing I know he comes around the corner in a truck and ran them all over as he yelled " ha ha dead f@@@ing cockroaches. Damn he was a wierdo!

 

That's toofriggen funny....

The story...and getting owned in public by your wife!!!!

 

I killed a swarm of nearly 4,000 ants yesterday and it only took out the back 1/4 of their dominion. They are really bad here and they are the smaller black ants, not the larger black ants. They travel by the thousands across my yard and leave their white food supplies in stashes everywhere.

 

found this ol girl on my carb bout a week a go

 

Yep them damn spiders come out in a lot of our cars from sitting . In Pa . the spiders aren't too bad in the garage or car . However the "TICKS" are very bad already ! The bees are gearing up good too ! We have to watch out for the Lyme disease around here . Now that will hurt you for the rest of your life ! No cure for it . Many car shows are on grass and under trees , so do check yourself for those damn things . BTW , the Deer are Hell around here and they are really starting to move now due to their babies up and running now .
You can always spray under the seats and dash to help prevent the critters surprising you while driving !
When I go car and parts hunting in the salvage yards I always take a can or two of bee spray with me .

 

OH yeah, that's a fat girl. She was gonna lay some bay-bay's and colonize that carb .

 

I came home a few nights ago to find a glass upside down at the top of the stairs. "Honey, could you get rid of our little friend- it's just a spider"... Turns out our little spider was a southern devil (small scorpion). Being relatively new to the south, I started quietly frieking out, since the ONLY thing I knew was that "the smaller ones are the deadly ones (we have 6 and 4 year old boys and a 7 month old girl at home)... turns out they don't to much more damage than a bee sting, but it had my skin crawling for a while.

 

Northern Minnesota has huge barn spiders that are freaky, we have garter snakes, copperbelly snakes, some bull snakes. Once in a while some of the farms get a little rat infested. I killed one black widow this spring. That was a surprise. Otherwise very few vermin. The story of the bear made me laugh. I usually have one encounter with a bear every summer.

 

Dude, she can say she was calmly asking to be dropped off, but have you EVER seen someone deathly afraid of mice "calmly ask" to be dropped off when they are everywhere? Think about whose story makes more sense.

 

this is a quote from my six year old son's "the big book of bugs." "People once thought that camel spiders could kill camels, but they are not even poisonous. They have big, powerful jaws and are fast runners. They usually live in dry places and feed on inesects. Camel spiders are also called sun spiders even though they are not spiders." Bottom line is my brother in law did three tours tours in the middle-east and said these were the creepiest things he had ever seen.. they shot at them for fun when they were bored...

 

If I saw one of those things I'd probably go into cardiac arrest.

 

in AZ ya gotta watch out for centipedes, tarantulas, scorpions and i think there called sun spiders. iv been tramatized even since my friend got bitten by a huge centipede when he was sleeping, they like to live in your bed, and there a bitch to kill.

 

I totally believe that. My buddies over there say if they can't get on the internet or call home they have to find something to do and it usually involves shooting something.

 

2 weeks ago I opened the door to the garage and turned on the light and saw this black thing the size of a baseball bolt across the garage. I grabbed the deck broom and caught it hiding under a old oil pan. as soon as I moved the pan the damn thing started coming after me, so I smashed the shit out of it like 300 times. Neighbor said it was a vinegaroon......look em up....not cool

 

Man ! We are so lucky down here in New Zealand that we don't have anything thats too bad. Kiwi Helrod.

 

I think I'd rather have the spider than what happened last night (not car related)

Dogs were up late & wanted out to do their business. It is 1am - so I left the back door open because I was tired so they could come in when done. I'm in the bathroom myself & I hear barking outside- then inside, hissing, then dogs crying. WTF? I go to investigate-holy shit- it smells like skunk! It's in the fuckin house! Dogs chased it in the house, cornered it & both got sprayed bad. Skunk ran out when I appeared. We've been cleaning all day & the smell still lingers. Won't ever do that again.

It's that time of the year again.

 

I was pretty calm concidering we had all those mice running around in the car. The window was down and I was so ready to hop out. I remember you telling me "Don't worry they won't eat through the paper bag" As I was holding them in the car and they did just that. I think this experience was alot worse than the time the mouse jumped out of the cupboard and sat on my lap when I was 8 months pregnant.Surprised myself I didn't go into labor.

 

We have found a few of those Camel Spider dead in our old house. But you don't think about when your at the dog park walking the dog and a LIVE one walks out in front of you. Here is the picture of the one we found in some lockers we were moving into the garage.

 

After OH,Shit I LMAO.

This is the worst by far on this thread. That is going to be hell trying to get that smell out of that house. I hope its not real hot down there yet. If so I hope you have A/C. Sleeping is goin to be a bitch with the stank.

 

Sounds like a great way to keep the in-laws from coming over.

 

No shit, never thought of that one. Course no skunk should come face to face with my mother in law. I kind of jump and piss myself when I first see her too.
