Killing Cockroaches and Other Creepy Crawlies

[Monica]

I also have a habit of putting worms back in the grass after it rains and they wash out onto the concrete.

Oh that's awesome!!! Worms are amazing. I have a colony of pet worms and I feed them and talk to them and pick them up. They give me black gold for my garden.

The other day a wasp somehow got into my house and I was freaking out. It kept flying around and I was afraid I would just lose sight of it. You would have all laughed at me so nervously following it around with a cup and a plate. I finally got it into the cup and released it outside, and it took off like a bat out of hell. At least it didn't turn around and sting me.

LOL! I'm amazed you were able to catch it! I've never had success using a cup and plate with wasps because they wouldn't go into the cup, though I do use a cup and plate for spiders.

Try using a towel. It's much easier to catch wasps with a towel. When the wasp is crawling on the window trying to get out, I just go up to it and scoop it into the towel, then fold it over so it's trapped in between the folds of the towel. I can hear and feel it buzzing inside as I take it outside. That works really well.

I wouldn't use a towel for spiders though because they crawl out so fast and I don't want it crawling on me! Wasps tend to stay put though.
