I will not touch a dead bug. Mostly because if I touch a dead bug with my bare hand it's probably going to come to life. Really though, what if it did? What if I resurrected a beetle who could burrow up my arm under my skin to my brain and eat it? (Yes, The Mummy 2 . . . terrifying.)No, thanks. I won't even use my fingernails-only grab to pick up and dispose of a bug. It's just not worth the risk. I use the turn-a-piece-of-cardboard-into-giant-tweezers trick. Then all I have to worry about is squeezing too hard and having to vacuum up dead bug dust, which is no big deal, 'cause the bug's still dead. Phew.

ReplyDeleteI always use the plastic cup route. Plastic-cupped, paper-slid, out the door you go.
P.S. Plastic-cupping cockroaches = super hard. Its the antennae. They are so long and huge!
I have to use the broom and dustpan. Luckily I've got one of those long handled dustpans. I've had nightmares about resurrecting bugs too. Mostly spiders. (^_^)
