Rubes by Leigh Rubin for September 03, 2016

Lester has figured out his angle in this situation.

Time for the bug spray.

I get them, even in the corner.

That’s when sharp-toed cowboy boots come in.

I use that approach for capturing flying insects. Capture the insect under the glass, slide a stiff piece of paper between the rim and the wall, then carry the glass outside and release the critter.

If there’s no bug spray handy, drench that sucker with air freshener.

As a child, I learned quickly that a can of Lysol and a match made a marvelously effective flamethrower, getting rid of spiderwebs in corners, near the ceilings, or anywhere else for that matter!

I keep a can of bug spray in the bathroom for just such an eventuality.

Wad of toilet paper works too.

I looked up from a book a few days ago and saw a snake staring at me. A skinny little runt. It got put outside where it will do better. A young king snake, I think.

Itsy bitsy hider

Aww… Wow… Just put a glass over it, slide the piece of paper, and put the poor thing outside. Like said above. I never really understood the killing of spiders. They’re useful! They kill the annoying bugs.
