I sit in my garage and smoke and drink and have a posting station out here. I usually keep my bare feet up on a milk carton for protection, but I'm at the point in the evening where I'm faded enough to set my bare feet down on the concrete (and don't mind if garage bugs crawl all over 'em).

How do you feel about bugs/spiders? I'd like to spend more time in nature but "Ticks" and "June Bugs" creep me out.

How big we talking? Larger spiders will naturally groom you if you show them respect, not sure what the downside is here unless you're a disrespectful person

Why do you have so many bugs in your garage? Do you live next to an open grave? Is it next to an actual dump? If you do, that's understandable, you are obviously some sort of hunchbacked cretin enslaved by a warlord who doesn't give a poo poo about things that aren't pet lions or solid gold Ferrari's.

Bugs are a really easy fear because they have a storied culinary tradition and you can eat them to learn they aren’t so bad.

When youre not home and have a few hours out of that area drop a bug bomb, they usually come in 2 pack cans, set them off, go out of that area for like 8 hours or whatever it says on the can

A large oscillating fan facing away from you should blow away most mosquitoes. And if you make peace with the spiders, they'll eat a lot of the other insects.

This is true, good bugs

Ive been in places with massive geckos, and you put them near a nice light that attracts bugs, they are in heaven.

I have a spider farm in my garage, my favorite part is the bug graveyard across all surfaces as the spiders will drop the exsanguined bug carcasses from the ceiling as they clean their webs. Web-housekeeping is very important for healthy spiders.

Fill your mouth with chewing tobacco so you get your nicotine fix, then superglue your nose shut and wrap your head in a garbage bag and take a good long nap in your garage op!!!!

The problem with this is it'll attract centipedes, which eat spiders. Ever since I looked up the centipedes I get and learned that it's been an indiscriminate purge. I'm normally cool with spiders since there's no dangerous ones where I live but gently caress centipedes something about them just sets my brain off yelling this thing is unnatural and must die.

diatomaceous earth shreds centipedes to bits

i suppose it does have 2 downsides as a pest control device:
1) its powdery and you have to put it everywhere but if you are in your garage who loving cares

and 2) you occasionally have to watch the death knell of a mortally wounded insect as it desperately tries to cling to life amongst the jagged hell you have created for it

every bug you 'rescue' causes deep psychological trauma from a giant monster (you) abducting them and transporting them to an entirely different world.

maybe you should think before you act.
