    I just went on a massive killing spree with a spoon... and now dead carcasses litter my floor. Does anyone else have problems with these pests and please list good extermination tactics. My current weapon of choice is a spoon, which is now covered in gore. Not an effecient weapon but allows me to take out my anger.

    Any suggestions? I keep defending my room but reinforcements keep arriving in even larger numbers.

    Get a air can, turn it upside down and freeze those little suckers! It's what I do to spiders hanging around my house :)

    We use to have them real bad coming from my mothers rose garden, we also had a moth infestation once as well. we just put a bunch of food out that was poisoned around the house exterior and a little bit inside. We were finding dead ones for months after. Find out where they are coming from basically and have bug spray and a mask ready.

    Keep your pets away, at our level spray isn't harmful but since they are down in that stuff sniffing around its not healthy

    I must now stock up on these for there versatility and proclaimed efficiency!
    Very nice but there may be collateral damage.

    This is one of the rare occasion where getting some pussy would not help.

    Diatomaceous earth.

    Its a *mechanical* insecticide. Anthropods (beetles/ants/ect) are killed efficiently with it, because diatomaceous earth is razor sharp on a microscopic scale, and its fucked bugs up very fast, just by them moving.

    (imagine glass fragments in your thighs, and you go on a long run)(similar concept)

    Day 2: Have found the birthing grounds, numbers are thinned severely.

    Thanks for the suggestions but I do not feel chemical warfare is necessary just yet.

    Its not a chemical. Its just mined soil (as harmless as salt)
