we called them jannies or janny long legs. the trick to get them out is to turn off all the lights inside and let them fly to the light outside - if you have one. a lot of flying insects are attracted to light and thats why they come in to your home in the first place. i dont understand how you can swat and kill and hoover them up. theres no need

I hope your not serious sark lol... all insects, right pain in the ****!


More spiders = Less insects.

They munch the buggers.

A greater number of 8 legged things that crawl on the ground makes for less 6 legged buzzy things that fly in the air.

Anything that goes buzz should be sentenced to death.
