My New Line of Defense

in #hive-10853915 days ago

Hello friends! I am back with a new gadget that hopefully helps me with my terrifying bug phobia: the Cup-a-Bug!

If you are as paralyzingly phobic about bugs as I am, but you don't want to kill an innocent creature just because it scares the pee out of you and has the misfortune of getting into your home, this is the gadget for you. It's spendy, but when my mom asked me what I wanted for my birthday, I said this, and she got me one! Hooray!

So pretend this orange piece is a bug:


Scary bug!

You set the cup down on top of it:


Trap!

And you can slide the door closed from all the way up on the handle, so you don't need to get close to the bug like if you were trying to catch it with a regular cup and paper:


Closed!

Then you can take it outside, screaming and cussing if you're me, but not having to touch it, lol, and let it go free.


Ta-da!

Especially since I no longer have a big vacuum and use a carpet sweeper now, my last ditch panic death machine when I didn't know what else to do option was gone (sorry, bugs that I've vacuumed). But now I can have the distance of the long stick (it stands as tall as my chest and I'm 5'4") and no death! Yay!!

I just put it together today, and I do not wish to see a bug to test it, lol, but I feel a lot better knowing that I have The Tool to deal with a buggie if the need arises. :)

Pacifism while phobic FTW! 😁

Thanks for reading and have a wonderful day!

Sort:  

So you're saying that you can now walk tall and carry a large stick? 😎👍

😂😂 yes, yes I can

Maybe I will get myself a large stick then😁😁
Thanks for the trick

Nice one but I don’t think a bug will wait for it to be trapped
They can be very smart and before you place that on them, they might run away

It depends on the bug. I've caught some that I wasn't too terrified of in cups, and vacuumed others 😅

Omg, this is a great birthday's gift! I want one for me!!

I sent a photo to my auntie too who I know is afraid of bugs like I am, lol!

I was unaware of this device for insects, for rodents the common traps, they gave you gift adjusted to your needs, enjoy it, greetings @phoenixwren

Le envié la foto a mi tía, que también tiene miedo a los insectos, y me dijo que también quería una para las lagartijas que tiene en el lugar donde vive. :)

¡Gracias por pasar!

I sent the photo to my auntie who is also afraid of bugs and she said she wanted one also for the little lizards she gets where she lives! :)

Thanks for stopping by!

It is good to share with other people so they can help each other, they may suffer from the same problem.

It's a very handy gadget for those so afraid of bugs, fortunately I won't be needing because I don't have problems with them.... 😁
