deadly creatures
« on: August 02, 2012, 01:31:32 am »
Have you ever encountered a deadly creature in your home? 

When I lived in California I found a black widow in my rural style mailbox once.  Here in New Mexico I found one in a trash can and under a mobile home I lived in and had to do plumbing repairs on.

Two months ago I met my first wild scorpion, a stripe tail, in my home.  It was just a few days after I was very sick, but I thought my cat got me with a claw (in bed at night).   :o  This past Sunday the same cat temporarily disabled another one, which was good because I stepped on it.  Whew!  (It felt like a piece of plastic.)  Two nights ago he was hunting a third by the front door.  I've determined that they were crawling in through a tiny gap between the lower corner of the door and the doorframe.  I've taken to plugging it at night. 

I'm grateful for my brave feline hunters.   :cat: :cat:

To tell you the truth I haven't really encountered any deadly creatures just little things like spiders and lizards.

Charmed in Phoenix..You need some serious pest control!!! I did not find a black widow in my house, but on my porch, nesting (unbeknownst to me) under the seat of my bicycle. I was cleaning under there, had my hands all up in there and everything. I never saw it until it ran out from under there, running away from me. I consider myself very lucky not to have been stung. I am more cautious now! :sad1:
