The only thing that freaks me (when I was living in Tauranga) was cockroaches (they grow rather large over there - the roaches in Taranaki are a third to half the size). One of my ex-flatmates woke up to one crawling over her face. I woke up one night staying at a friends in Kaponga to a Weta crawling up my arm.... that freaked me... esp when I flicked it away (the lights were off, this was about 4am) and the damn thing came right back!!

I used to live in Kaponga and the roaches over there are humongous, so big that once I cornered one in the ancient house we were renting in a corridor with nowhere to scuttle to. I had my colt peacemaker BB gun (the steal shot variety) and I shot it from close range. The first shot just p#ssed it off and it took 2 more to finish it off. That and rat shooting at the dump were the major entertainment attractions of Kaponga.	the highlander (245)

Ewwwwwwww and I know all about cockroaches, you'd think I'd be used to them in Tauranga, but, with a few "little helpers" I seldom see them inside now. But they did make me overcome my aversion to spiders, spiders are almost cute compared with roaches!!	Marnie (4574)

They love the warm areas off any house, especially electronics/appliances Nothing like spraying that BV2 insecticide and watching them die in seconds... only that stuff pongs REAL BAD.	bob_doe_nz (92)

347527	2005-04-23 08:54:00	Er................ april fools was had by some members not long ago and some people would not click on the link, for fear of ????? or is my memory slightly off that a person seen in this thread would not or could not cllick it ?

347528	2005-04-23 08:55:00	Unusual sibling. ;) Why didn't you just "help" it to move to your sister's room? :thumbs: I have vaccumed my room this morning. Not just a simple vacuum, I've lift up the bed to give the carpet a nice suck-up as well as shifted the cupboard to see any crawlies making nest behind it. During the whole process, I did not encounter any bugs or worms. However, I did not open up the computer case, as some of you have suggested. Thanks for the reply, people. :)	Renmoo (66)
347529	2005-04-23 09:30:00	My bet is on it being an earwig.... I was thinking that it would be more of a slug - they're the only worm-like things that have antennae. No idea how that would've got in there, but on a few occasions I've had small spiders make themselves at home, even a gecko! I just toss them outside (although for geckos you have to pounce on them like Steve Irwin pounces on crocodiles, so that they don't turn around and bite you!).	D. McG (3023)
