There are several insects in my room.

Now, normally, i would take a newspaper and smash them to tiny pieces, but they're too fast! And im thinking about sleeping.

HOW do i get rid of those monsters?
HELP ME!

I don't really know, there's at least one regular fly, one dead(?) wasp, one of those silly, big-legged ones, and three unidentified ones.
The wasp and the silly one is np, beacause they're slow. The others are too fast for my geeky reflekses

Put a light on at the far end of the room.

They'll all go after that.....

Turn all the lights in the room out. Open the door and turn the light in the hall / on the landing on. They will all fly out of your room. Then close the door. Bingo.

Why would anyone want to sleep with a light on? especially a light surrounded by bugs?!

aerosol(flammable) + lighter = win

My aerosol are used for aerosouling, not killing bugs, thank you!

Oh, and to the light people: I don't sleep whit the ligth's on, but the light in the hall (it's not really a hall, but anyways) is not working, so the bug's just stay in my room (i've tried before)

Am i doomed to a insecty room?

Cover all windows\doors with duct tape, leaving only a gap big enough to fit a hoover in. Then switch the hoover on and suck the air out. The resulting vacuum may cause the bugs to die. However, it might also make your room implode.

Worked for me... you looked closely at the bugs to see if they are carrying white sticks?

Tried luring them out with a carcus of some sort?

well the flys and wasp will go where there's food.
did you clean all the food out of your room?

Snurx · 10 Jul 2003, 01:24

The only "food" here is some old candy i found while cleaning, (still in the wrapper) and some old (empty) tea-cups..

BUT, strangely, the insects (exept the wasp, i killed it

) have dissapeared? Maybe they went for other hunting grounds, who knows?

Now im happy!

Aryn · 10 Jul 2003, 01:26

hurray!!
nighterz then

Snurx · 10 Jul 2003, 01:30

Hmm, im not really going to bed yet, i am just thinking about it.

Im having a dillema, i want to stay awake, but i also want to sleep.
I live a hard life, i must say

The average person apparently eats something like 8 spiders in his/her sleep during his/her entire life.

I suggest you go to bed and just get it over with

Deathjam · 10 Jul 2003, 01:46

fill ur room with spiders that'll stop the insect problem

Radical Edward · 10 Jul 2003, 08:11

well wasps are easy if you have a problem with them at all (I used to in my owld flat because there was a wasps nest somewhere nearby)... get a plastic bottle and cut it in half, turn the top half round and stick it inside the bottom half, and then pour some sugary water in. they all climb through the inverted neck, but can't get out.
