I was giving Little Tiggs a bath and there it was, perched on the shower curtain, so I put on my marigolds and grabbed it. I'm not normally into killing creatures of any kind including wasps and flies (just try and waft them out the window/door) but this time I felt I had to. I didn't relish the thought of either of us scratching ourselves to death. And they have the potential to carry nasty diseases.
I'm not a fan of killing insects etc either but if they're in your house and refuse to leave after a bit of encouragement, then so be it! I don't mind spiders sleeping over though.
