You see a spider on the wall. (its meant to be a spider, not a fly in the poll)
Do u

A - Smack it with something and dispose of remains
B - Grab the insect killer
C - Catch it and drain it down the sink
D - Catch it and release it outside
E - Others

catch it in a clear glass and toss it outside. I see no reason for needless violence

Hahahaha nice one... But there is minor issue which i hadn't considered... FLYs
The most maneuverable and aerobatic creature on earth, sea or sky...

So then... A revision of my bud extraction techniques need to be considered...

How do i escort a fly out of my home into its home???
I haven't google it yet. Why not. I dunno i like to see if i can solve a problem, or at least have a plan for it, and then seek other ideas...

So far my ideas have been focused more on defense strategies... I could lay a steel ring around my home with high power repelant...
As soon as they sniff it they turn the other way, no harm done...
Its a matter of choosing one. Must be effective but i don't want the place to smell like nuclear fallout either...

Extraction of airborne creatures is something im still thinking about, almost given up. Ye i have given up... LoL....
How.. Any ideas???

Hey what about mosquitos... I feel like thats entering into self defence now, true... Has to be.
He is biting me look, drinking my blood, how else can i remove...
Unless someone can give a practical suggestion i think mosquitos went too far when they bit me and im at peace with instinct reaction to slap my skin...
And its not just a bite... They drink ur blood... U bite me and now you are drinkin my blood...
Im looking at you and you are still drinking... Surely now the mosquito has crossed the line, true...

What does Jesus do. Flick it away... WoW. I just asked myself what would he do and that was first thing i thought
Your still punishing punishing the creature aren't you, its an act of revenge.
Ok i'll try my best to remember that...

Even if a snake bites you in the bush, killing it would only be an act of revenge unless it still posed a threat.
They always retreat when they can and only strike us in defence.

Food. Im at peace with somewhat. No problem slaughtering an animal to eat, bible clearly says its all good...
Don't like the way mass farming treats some of its livestock...
The dairy/veal industry is the one that stirs up the most cognitive dissonance within myself.
Caged eggs is one thing i do, organic products (ones grown naturally) is something im starting to consider more these days too

Source organic suppliers that treat their livestock in a decent manner...
Oh but Jesus...
No excuse, have u even tried. Clue, market not supermarket...
True, chat with the store owners, learn a bit about the supply chain... God

Man, every time i ask what would u do he responds... In jail i wouldn't make any important descision without asking that and it worked everytime. Out here i forget to use it enough but he still here, he still responds when i ask

We have march flies out here, they bite and suck blood like a mosquito, but the bite feels 3 times worst than a mosquito, you feel the jab when they bite you like a needle.

They are also massive too.

Ye for people overseas, the array of bugs and insects here in Oz is uncountable...
Im not joking. There are new ones found here all the time that were unknown to science... The Amazon is famous for creatures being found that are previously undocumented but we have our fair share too... A new spider i saw not long ago here in Oz... Gods evolution or unfound creatures???

But i was gonna get your attention cos not only are u bush but your near water which is an even bigger factor...
So then... What defence and extraction systems are in place in your house? Any creature friendly ideas?

Ah i can see that @Josho chose others... Please elaborate...

But im shocked by @April_Rose... Awww... I had this image of a sweet conservative girl who wouldn't hurt a fly.
U don't have to kill the spider do u??? I know u must hate spiders, most of us do. Their dangerous and creepy.

My mum says it makes her skin crawl, as if its crawling on her. She can't even see a snake on TV so she turns away.

Some people are as fascinated by insects as i am of birds...
We are made in Gods image but i still have the feeling that he loves his creature, even the ugly creepy crawly ones

Look... U got a cute voice, we all do, we use it with babies, kids, pets. Or even more advanced cute voices, l like using Mogwai u know the gremlin.
So get u cute voice, Mogwai , and say this...

Please don't kill me cos im ugly... Pleeeeeesssseeeeee
I don't want to scare you or bite you...

adorable-animation-lucas-the-spider-joshua-slice-fb__700-png.jpg

God loves me too... Awww look in his eyes

His name is Lucas the worlds cutest spider. Its not real. Its animated to help people with arachnophobia, i just learnt...

So what do u say April? Was i able to draw some compassion for Lucas, for spiders? Its not his fault??? Aprils grace?
Ladies are considered to be much more graceful than men... Is it still true or is it an old fashion view

Hi Cristo Rei,

Here in the UK we don't have any dangerous spiders to worry about, not like you on the other side of the world. My daughter, when living in Australia, innocently cast her dressing gown on the floor of the bedroom when getting into bed at night, and the next day when putting it on, was bitten on the ear by a poisonous spider which was caught in it's folds, and ended up in hospital. She didn't do that again! :)

I always put a glass over spiders, bees, wasps, flies, butterflies and moths, that get caught indoors, slide a paper under them and set them free outside. There is an oil which spiders don't like apparently, called citronella (an insect repellent), which if placed in the four corners of the room will act as a deterrent, though I have not tried it.

The Lord has used the ant as a goad for me, to curb my natural love of ease, with the verse:-

'Go to the ant, thou sluggard;
consider her ways, and be wise:
which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
provideth her meat in the summer,
and gathereth her food in the harvest.'

(Pro 6:6-8)

:) Chris

Ohh ouch, do u know which spider?
As a kid one of my fears was getting into bed with a spider lurking at my feet ready to pounce or stepping into my shoes...
Never happened but... LoL... Thankfully

I always put a glass over spiders, bees, wasps, flies, butterflies and moths, that get caught indoors, slide a paper under them and set them free outside.

Yes in regard to the specifics of extraction methods thats what im running as well...
Flies can be almost impossible but and u can't leave them cos if they lay eggs then u will have many more in the house...
So im a bit of a dead end when it comes to fly extraction... Il google search soon, see if there are any good ideas

There is an oil which spiders don't like apparently, called citronella (an insect repellent), which if placed in the four corners of the room will act as a deterrent, though I have not tried it.

Ye down here u must have a military defence contract, @Josho would agree...
Aeroguard owns Australias biggest military defence contract against insects.

An old local company they do have a small range of insect killers now but they have always specialized in what they call, repellents, a nicer way of saying miltary defence program. Even now their range is 80% repellents. They even have products to spray on fabric Josh did u know... Cos u upholster right? Furniture. Aeroguard are using your sofas to deploy their miltary defence units...


Were you privy to this information Josh. Did they get your authorization? But thats intersting cos your sitting on it now, rubbing into the furniture, could be a fire hazard a cancer hazard. We hope the companies have done their homework but the regulations for that kind of thing are not good enough in my opinion... Fire ones are ok, its the cancer ones that aren't good enough

We tend to have an amlified perception of their attributes. A spiders strike is quicker than the eye, its lighting quick u can't doge it.
But that is at close range, a strike. It is not fast at longer distance. Your safe at 1 meter, 3 foot, relax...

And then there is the jumping spider... We have a fear of them leaping at us from great distances to strike...
Is the fear rational???


Most spiders can jump. It helps them costrust their web, they can even swing on them across river like spiderman...
BUT... I cannot find a documented instance of a spider jumping to attack... So unless the spider is weaving its web i think the fear of it jumping on you and biting your is too much...

There is a fine line between being carefrul and being paranoid, sometimes they overlap

Ok the insect defence and extraction details have been ironed out...

The biggest challenge still remains. The safe extraction of flies...
Super maneuverable Australian flies. Thats the actual name of the species

The spider web was also like "the curse of kennedy" which rumoured of being get cheating with foreign woman which is the same as the prom story of "carrie", the shower ritual was used as a bullying & crucifixion or circumcision to the new born spiritual of the living in spirit.
This is why all the saints had rejected to get being mated by society (Luke 17:26-27; Luke 14:7-11), because all the world pattern was ruled by the Evil One which always tried to fight each other to get into a higher places in spirituality (many artist called them as the club).
This is why Jesus was also threatened by the high priests elites & pharisees of Jerusalem because Jesus had not married when he had been rumoured with Mary Magdalene, did they still use OC bullying inside the church these days ?

Did your mom ever deal with any snakes? I hear you down under folks have alot of them...and alot are poisonous.
Snakes are not a problem really, you leave them alone they will not bother you unless at times of the year with some they may go you. our cat would bring small snakes in the house.

Spiders if they have a white tail I kill them type directly, they are a bastard as they jump on you and they rot your skin once you are bitten a mates grandad died from one his skin just kept being eaten away taking over his body and a mate got the same on his leg but being younger his body could deal with it before it got out of control, he has a fit now when he sees one of them.
Red back Spider are not that bad, just keep them out of the out house. a mate would go catching them and try to put them down the back of you neck at school.

Mozzies well the only good one is a dead one, I was working at Sanctuary Cove 1988 that had kamikaze mozzies you would feel them every time.
Horse fly's they are a real pain when I was working at Fraser Island at times from 1974 to 1980 in the hot months, you needed someone to watch your back swatting them when your hands are full.
