Moths, wasps and spiders..

[mexico1970]

If I can’t catch them in a cup they’re too big for this planet.

This is what you need mate :)

In my hot tub mate. Horrible fucking things.

Yuuuuk! Dya climb in 'n find 'em or are they floating on the surface? Gruesome stuff!

Slithering on the lid and they shit in the water. Cunts.

Bees are useful! Can't think what good wasps are!

And while were on this esoteric thread whatever happened to those four, five, 'n six inch slugs that used to appear five mins after it stopped raining. There's plenty of snails inside their shells in the gardens at Ewing Towers (not open to the public!) but where are the orange, white 'n brown super slugs?

Wasps are important pollinators and they eat greenfly. All good until you want to sit out with a beer.
The slugs you refer to are probably Portuguese. They invaded a few years ago but seem to be dying away now. We had loads eating our hostas, but none this year.

Ah yeah mate, I want nothing more than to see a spider tortured for hours, begging for death long before it comes!!! Hahaha

Cats are only marginally less of **** than the squirrel that is currently stripping my walnut tree and has been for a week now. They’re not even ready yet for another month. I hope it gets indigestion. Will forget where it puts them because no squirrel needs that many nuts. I believe @kaz7 says Merlin is a bit of a squirrel killer, my cats just stare at it for 30 seconds before going back to eating and sleeping for the rest of the day. The dogs chase it but never get close.

Wasps eat flies, aphids, caterpillars and other invertebrates, making them an important insect-controlling predator and are important pollinators

They are incredibly important apparently in the grand scheme of the eco system.

My issue is, why are they so fucking thick?

Bees come round, have a quick sniff around you, realise theres nowt down for them and fuck off.

Fucking wasps won’t leave you alone. Buzzing round your head for hours. Even if you manage to swat one, they just send a secret signal to their mates to come and annoy the fuck out of you for revenge.

Unless your wading through a bog in Norfolk or Suffolk I think you should just about be ok :-)

The fuckers have got 8 leg. Won’t be long before you’ll be checking under the toilet seat for these nationwide.

I read once that Siamese cats are squirrel killers. Ours just sits under the bird table and watches them eat. They stroll nonchalantly past him.

Have you ever thought of writing a book on wasps? Nailed it mate.

Yup. One of the cat catches leafs to show its natural killer instincts but only if they blow within 1cm or them during their 2 minutes of being awake time so they don’t actually have to move.

My cat caught a sparrow the other evening and brought it back for me to play with :)) Dead, though. I threw it around a bit with the cat watching, and then she ate it. Crunched through the head and legs!. Only one feather was remaining on the lawn after she'd finished. Starving cats in Africa would have left nothing. I should have filmed it and shared it here.

3 huge spiders last couple nights, horrific. squashed them all with Mrs Hammers recipe cook book.

We don't see wildlife from our back window ever, Jasper operates a scorched earth policy. Although he has struck up a weird relationship with a family of Hedgehogs who took root under a tarpaulin over the winter and we haven't the heart to evict.

Cats are weird though, you can get a mean looking Cat who looks like he would choke a small child but is as nice as fuck or you get a sly bastard who looks like he dropped out of an advert but would shred your face if you bothered him :)

You could have just used Mrs Hammer to squash them?
I'm the spider catcher in our house. The missus and my daughter are terrified by them. I don't get it...they do fuck all. They're HOUSE spiders. They have rights!

Hahaha brilliant mate!! Daughter’s cat is lovely but seems to have some deep seated issues as she attacks the postman and people with dogs who dare to walk past her house. Those seem to be her pray.

Same here mate, in a cup / glass and out they go (or to another room).
