Remember HUGE spider I told you guys about in my first post... yeah, he was just the beginning of the season's critters making their appearance in hostile territory... ugh.
This morning, wake to find one of those nasty, but smaller, beastly black spiders (has a sort of triangle-shape to it's body... *shudder*)... and it happens to be up on the wall...
...close to the ceiling...
... above the pantry...
... where I cannot reach it...
... and even if I retrieved a chair to stand on...
... would likely not be successful in smashing the thing...
... because he also happens to be close to doorway trim...
... making it highly unlikely that I could get him with a shoe...
... THE only choice for smashing him (cause why in the world would I want to chance missing him in a tissue and having him possibly go crawling onto my hand!!! EEWWW!)
So, I decide he will be left to roam... unless he were to make it into better range (with greater amount of space around him for said "smashing shoe").
A shower later... I come to find that not only is he NOT where he's more reachable... he has made it IMPOSSIBLE to get him now. He went all the way to the back wall that the cabinets/pantry are mounted onto, and up into the little corner between wall and ceiling. BAH! Whatever... as long as he stays there, I'll be great :)
HOWEVER, on my way to blissful ignoring-of-the-spider-ness, I find our two furry kids huddled by a corner... VERY interested in something. Not. Good.
So, I take a peek at what has them sooooooo enthralled, only to find a man-eating black ant. For real... HUGE ant... blocked into a corner by two kitties that refuse to do anything other than keep it cornered. And he knows that he's cornered... so, what does he do? He's in a defensive pose (seriously, ants apparently do this)... he's all kind of reared up to try to make himself look bigger and more threatening. The sad part...
My cats believe him. *hand to forehead*
He was not bigger than my shoe (thank goodness), but did take a few smashings to finally rid our house of him. Sheesh.
I think we need to spray around the house.................... :)
