    I have only used Raid to reduce the populations of fruit flies, or whatever the tiny flies are that sometimes breed in flower pots. Other insects I kill with my trusty flyswatter. Not that there would be that many bugs wandering into my apartment. Just the occasional wasp and housefly. I'm not sure I've ever seen a spider here. I guess the eighth floor is a bit high for lots of bugs.

    The wasp is actually the only insect I instinctively fear to a degree. Probably because I was stung by them a few times when I was a kid. So, very humanly I have ever since wanted to kill each and every wasp I see.

    Oh oh I have the same traumatic childhood experience with wasps so I have an excessive fear of them as well. Now I leave them be until they menace me in any way, then they die.

    The phobia is so strong, a few years ago as an adult I was working on my car in the garage and a wasp started flying towards me. I panicked and dropped my car off the jack and damaged the tire studs. $300 repair later, I swore to kill any wasp that ever got anywhere near me.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?
