Don't waste money on killer bug sprays!!

Woke up last night to go to the bathroom - and what did I see directly across from me as I sat on the toilet?? A spider on the wall, about the size of my palm.

Hmmmm, what should I do?

Luckily, I had taken the kettle from the kitchen to have tea every night in my room, so I got my flip flop ready and boiled up some water.

He instantly fell wrinkled to the floor when the water hit him... and then I swept him out the door with my flip flop.

I discovered this handy trick in Luanda. There was a cockroach on the counter beside my teacup, so I dribbled some boiling water on him from the kettle and watched him die - the quickest I have ever done away with a roach!

I found a big spider in my bathroom the other day, trapped it under my coffee cup and released it outside.
