Cordelia ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I have no RAID or other insect killer. I don't know what it is. But I'm going to have to flush it out or something and then kill it.
Spray it with hairspray. Then at least it won't be able to fly.
eta: Try to hit it with the hairspray when it's flying, so you'll get the wings.
Yes, killing insects brings out the sadist in me.
Huh. Not here.
Is there any kind of household cleaner that might make a good substitute for bug killer?
I don't have borax, I know that's used sometimes.
And my meds have kicked in so I can't drive anywhere.
No hair spray.
Windex?
I have spray starch. Bon Ami (which is like Comet), toilet bowl cleaner, assorted kinds of cleaning sprays.
I would try and whack it with a shoe but it's stuck in the top part of the blinds that attaches to the wall.
Is there any kind of household cleaner that might make a good substitute for bug killer?
Bugs don't like windex. And enough of anything will kill a bug.
Nothing else is coming to mind.
Use your imagination, and your surroundings. Be like MacGyver.
Do you have a vacuum hose extension that can reach that far?
eta: Spray starch on the wings while it's flying might ground it.
I feel like the SG team in the SGA episode 38 Minutes, where they were trying to get the bug off Shepperd's neck and only had minimal supplies.
No vacuum cleaner. It seems to be trapped and if I wasn't getting really sleepy I'd go get posion.
I spray startched it and then sprayed ith with some kind of cleaner with clorox.
It's still moving
And now I'm starting to feel like bugs are crawling on me.
