I don’t mean what you use to chop down your feces, but an object that you realized only your family has and people would raise their eyebrows at. Best if said object has a sole purpose.

    The frog tongs reminded me of my spider box. Because I think spiders are good and reduce insect population I don’t kill them. Instead I have a shoebox with a piece of paper in it. Get spider on paper, they usually crawl right onto it if you hold it near them. Then throw paper into shoebox and close the box. Shoebox should seal and not have holes, btw. Most shoeboxes do not seal. Then take the box outside and open. +1 spider population in your yard.

      I was going to say that having some method of relocating spiders outside is pretty common (whether it’s a shoebox, Tupperware container, etc), but maybe I just think that because I’m Australian and we often see spiders inside in Australia lol

        At some point I realized that I don’t have to kill every dumb creature that makes the mistake of existing inside my house as my parents taught me.
        So I also have live catch traps for mice. Dont get many at all but they get dropped off a couple miles from my house.

        I didn’t really mind them. When they crawl accross my desk I take that as a request to go outside. I don’t think they’re going to last very long inside my house bevause there are not many bugs to eat.

      Is that uncommon? I also have a small box next to my bed for trapping bugs so that I can release them outside. Bonus points if it’s transparent and you get to see them up close.

        I really don’t know how common it is. I think you’re one of the few people to tell me they also do it.

        Clear is a great idea.
