Members JBecker Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 Moved into my new apartment today. Love that it's a basement apartment-- no AC, just a dehumidifer and I'm good to go. However, I've already found like 6 daddy long legs down here. When I move in, the bugs move out. What's the best way to get em out and keep them out. One possible complication-- my kitchen is the entrance to the apartment, so I have to be careful about what I spray near my door way, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BLacktocomm Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 you want them around. If you have to have bugs these are the ones you want. The problem with basement apartments is that they get all the bugs. I do not know if this is a proven fact, but in my experience the lower level ones get more bugs. Good luck with the daddy long legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EvilMeow Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 Yeah, keep the Daddy Longlegs around. They'll eat the hell out of other bugs. They're creepy and weird as hell, but it's worth having them around. I like spiders, especially the kind that aren't going to bite me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JBecker Posted June 21, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 Yeah, I mean, I don't mind the DLL, but two in the shower, three in the kitchen, two in my living room, and one in each of three closets is plenty enough. I vacuumed them all up, we'll see what happens. They were a bit too homey and my apartment is a bit too small to have literally 10 spiders just chilling out.

Members JBecker Posted June 21, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 I'm not afraid of them, just don't want to walk into their webs every time I open a window, closet, shower, etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AstralAdvent Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 and after you get that lizard get an eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tele62 Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 Set fire to your apartment. That, or the lizard idea - which is a damn fine one. I think reptiles can make really cool pets, actually - a house-trained Komodo dragon being the theoretical pinnacle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y0UNGBL00D Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 do DLLs even make webs? also, they technically arent spiders. ever seen a cloud of them under a rock or log? THAT {censored} is scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT {censored} is scary. Not webs really... but I always find dustballs under them that are really weird looking and get that cobweb feel near by as well. It's not quite the same, and I never can see them, but you can feel it. And yes, they aren't spiders but are arachnids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vittra1 Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 I say nuke 'em from orbit, it's the only way to be sure........ I {censored}ing hate spiders and especially Daddy long legs. Real giant phobia of arachnids. Destroy them and buy some poison stuff to spray everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tele62 Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 ever seen a cloud of them under a rock or log? THAT {censored} is scary. Hands up all those who thought it was pubes? Also, especially for Vittra1 with compliments: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Instrospection Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 Whoa, that's alot of daddy long legs! I've never seen that many of them congregated together. I agree with the people that say keep some of them around--they'll eat smaller bugs and that's good. It is kind of creepy to have them around, but i've tried not to step on spiders for the last long while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Filter500 Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 I let some live in the winter if I see them chilling in a web in a corner. Usually they don't move from the web often and don't seem to bother me. I wouldn't let them stay in a bedroom though. Can they eat house centipedes? Those I can't stand. It's hard to believe they could, because house centipides can be so much bigger and are aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
