Sorry, I think I will pass since it's a bug in a kids mouth.

And Buzz, there is a potato bug and a potato beetle. Yours is a beetle and is not a potato bug.

You say potato, Buzz says pahtato. Let's call the whole thing off.

Those things don't mess around. A camel spider is no match to this cricket.

Ah...well you have a kind soul. That bug is the freakiest looking bug ever!

Yeah...I have seen a lot of black widows. Especially inside sprinkler boxes and I have seen some near our pool. The good thing is they tend to stay hidden so as long as you are not sticking your hand in nooks and crannies you are fine. I hate sticking my hand in the basket to clean out the leaves that collect from our pool...

That's right, lol!!!! That's funny because I do have strange and weird ways for killing bugs. If I find a bug in my shower while I'm in there they often die by shampoo. Shampoo is great because it traps the bug and they can't move. I have used hairspray, windex, 409...etc..etc...

While in college we lived in a really old house and we had these huge spiders that you could hear move when they walked. Once I chased one with shampoo that was blue and left a blue spotted trail up the back stairs, lol.

I MUCH prefer a more standardized way ......a double barrelled 12 gauge shotgun.....both barrels fired at once.....the bug then has a big enough opening in the wall to walk out....

That would work great for an ant invasion. Get them all at once.
