My mom got bitten by one of those ;_; She has a hole in her leg and you can see right through to the bone, it's so nasty ;_;
I used Axe spray and a lighter on an extremely large cricket once... It went was jumping like crazy until one of it's legs fell off. I'm too arachnophobic to get near spiders. I do however tag team them with my cat and a fly swatter. She knocks them around, tries to eat them, smacks them with her paw and when they least expect BAM!
