More Fun with Tongs and Raid

As some of you may know my tongs are an invaluable tool.
I mean really all a woman needs is a good set of tongs, a can of Raid, WD-40 and duct tape to be set in defending the home or fixin' it.
A few weeks back there was the snake and then the scorpion. Both nasty creatures to my mind, but not nearly as pesky as the damn mud wasps!:S
About a week ago, I discovered a small mud nest on a photograph hanging on the wall in the hallway. I must say this bee has a heck of a lot of nerve trying to make a home on a McGowan!:o
As there were no bees around, I quickly disposed of the nest and carried on with my day.
Well humph! Yesterday I actually took the day off (yes it does happen) to get ready for a trip. The day included installing a doggy door for the kids and general domestic Goddess type duties.:)
As I am working around the house I notice that there is a bee in the house, and being of a generous nature yesterday I thought to spare its life and swoosh it outside.
Not 10 minutes later another bee! This continued four times...bee comes in...bee goes out. I figured there has to be a nest somewhere and these little suckers can get in any little nook or cranny. So as it were, I thought to myself..."self lets sit and watch where the bee goes the next time it invades my territory."
Hummmmm...
10 minutes or so goes by and whoop there it is! So I watch for a moment and :o:o the damn thing was building a nest in the kitchen on a power cord hanging from my chili bunch lights!! GRRRRR
So...I did what any woman living alone would do...I retrieved my weapons and annihilated the little sucker!:)
Umhummm tongs and Raid...new and improved Homeland Security.;)

I prefer the vacuum cleaner hose. I had a swarm of wasps in my house one day, and I sucked 'em all up.

It was kind'a fun getting them in mid air. :)

I love my tongs too...I have my dryer sheets on the window sill that is behind my dryer....they always fall down between the dryer and wall...can't move the dryer, so I get my handy dandy set of tongs...hop up on the dryer and reach back down there. Saved! Yet again!;)

Your thongs can do that?:o



Hey a good pair of thongs have been known to catch a snake or two :ph34r:

I have done this too, though I feel bad that the poor little fly is going to die a slow death[:/]...or do you think they are dead before they hit the vacum cleaner bag



Oh, I spray the hose with Raid first. The vacuum cleaner bag becomes a wasp gas chamber. :ph34r:

When I opened this thread I was expecting something about sex. No, really. Don't know why



Thongs and Raid in the same sentence. I would be VERY afraid!:S



Depends on context!!! Most guys love a good Thong Raid! :D

A while back I stumbled upon the remnants of what appeared to be a "Wild One" on my property. The little bastards drank all of my beer and smoked all my smokes!

They all managed to get out before sunrise but these two for some reason didn't get out in time.

I dubbed them "Bon Scott" and Jim Morrison" they were non-responsive at the time of discovery and all attempts at reviving them(poking with stick..:D) failed.
:D

I used tongs to migrate them to the refuse.

This is a fantastic idea - you should put this over in the WF under the household hints thread!;)
I bet there are a lot of single moms who need to know they have a wasp gas chamber available to them!!
