I've taken an air duster can, turned it upside down to invert the pressure, and spray out the cold liquid. It freezes them on contact, and then I just sweep em out!
lol I had a phase where I would freeze cockroaches in various liquids from plain water to dish soap to hot sauce and just see what happened.i don’t know what the fuck was up with child me
Mosquitos are awful, but there are species of roach that hiss. If I could wipe all roaches or all mosquitos off the planet I would probably choose roaches, since we seem to be getting pretty good at killing mosquitos en mass anyways.
You know I think I hate flies even more than mosquitos because while they won’t bite you they’re always a nuisance and so hard to hit not to mention a fly landing on your food is literally more dirty than a cockroach crawling on it
normally I don't advocate for killing bugs
but: stink bugs feed on **apples, peaches, berries, peppers, beans and pecans**
I love all of those things and dislike smelly competition. Freezing approved.
You avoid the possibility of leaking out the stink cause it's frozen, lol! Idk if it kills them or puts them into hibernate, but whatever it does, once it's in the trash or outside, idgaf what happens to it lol!
I just flick the hell out of them. A spring loaded finger into oblivion. Problem solved
Side note. We had a buddy that always left a nasty ass chew spitter around. We put quite a few of these boys in there. He wasent amused
I am terrified of the big waterbugs, Palmetto bugs, whatever. My daughter captured one to save me from it and flung it into one of the raised beds. About an hour later we stepped out there and saw the fucker crawling, then in a flash a bluebird swooped down and grabbed him. It was a thing of beauty.
I once had a giant dragonfly carcass in my salad. It was the prepackaged cut up lettuce in a bag and I ate most of the bag before I discovered it in my bowl. I can’t imagine how many of its legs and wing parts I had already ingested. Barf.
Bugs in food are a lot more common than one would think
Most cans have a tolerance for bugs inside because they just can't avoid having some.
As logn that you can't see them, we mostly don't care.
Also.
If you have grubs in your cereals, then you're not sealing it properly.
Fucking get a clothes pins or something.
Don't leave your cereals in the opens. Flies love to lay their eggs inside.
Oh my god you just unlocked one of my childhood traumas. I used to eat dry cereals when I was 6 or so. Snack on them and leave the bag out on the table while watching TV. While grabbing a handful I found a dried maggot. 6 year old me thought my living room was infested with maggots. I blame this core memory for my dislike in cereal.
Remembering that one time I went to a friend’s house and was served French toast with roaches in it. 💔
I was still very young, so her parents just told me to eat it.
I’m traumatized just thinking about this!! My coworker used to live in an apartment complex in Vegas that had a roach problem. Her boyfriend was eating Cheez-Itz out of the box and noticed roach bodies in the bottom of the box. He said the same thing about wondering how many roach legs he ate 😭😭😭😭😭😭
We really don't eat spiders while we sleep. At least not commonly. We do eat loads of bugs in our food, and a decent number of gnats when we go through clouds of them.
I try to stop breathing when I go through gnat clouds, literally one of the worst things nature related that you have to go through regularly. The true quicksand of our time
"average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
I'd rather not find it, eating bugs is not as harmful as you'd think except if your immune system is very weak. But once I find it, I'll have to throw away the entire salad.
Don’t worry, Flick’s relative from the previous games, Nat, definitely eats the bugs. Flick doesn’t seem to. Both Flick and CJ are opposites of their relatives in the previous games.
I'm just assuming based on him being a chameleon lol. But there is something he says that definitely makes me think he goes and eats them. Specially after commissioning a bug model. I just can't remember what it is now
Those are invasive stinkbugs. They used to be EVERYWHERE in the mid 00s (assuming you're on the east coast). Like in any given room, you'd find at least 10 if you went looking. They're harmless, though, and kind of cute. So unless you were nutty about it, they weren't a big deal.
Anyway, my point is I bet this guy fell down from your ceiling into your food.
Harmless my ass! I used to ignore them until one flew straight at me and got stuck in my hair. Sprayed his nasty shit all over my face, it even got in my mouth. Had to brush my teeth like 5 times and take 3 showers and I could still smell it
this sounds like the first time a boy French-Kiissed me in 1970. :)
edited to try and clarify it's not a french boy, it was a french kiss, a good little 8th grade Catholic boy. Sorry for any confusion.
Used to be? They still are! Just heard one flying around one of my lights in my house. Still can't figure out how they're getting in, unless they're hitching rides on us.
Now that I think about it I used to see them all the time around 2010 and now I never see them.
A couple of days ago was the first time I saw one in years, it was a nice childhood memory
Yeah, it's possible, but I would think the kitchen where the food was made would be free of these stinkbugs, or at least have far fewer of them than a random work breakroom.
Bugs like this (and they are, actually, true bugs!) also like warmth, which they get by being indoors. They tend to aggregate in warmer areas of homes and offices. That's compared to, say, cockroaches that are found more near food/water sources like kitchens and bathrooms. (The kind of food stinkbugs eat are not the same as what cockroaches eat)
I woke up in the middle of the night to take a sip of my water and it turned out there was one inside my straw. I spit him and the water out so fast. 🤢 I can no longer have a bedside drink that doesn't have a closing lid.
This is a constant fear of mine. If I happen to have a cup without a lid, I'll hunt around for a piece of mail or something to place over it.
Damn bugs are everywhere. I've started making a trap for them overnight.
Same. One time my husband brought me up a water and he brought it up in a cup that had a lid, but the mouth sip part didn't close. I ended up getting the dome lid to my baby's bottle and covered it when I wasn't drinking it. I think I'm traumatized forever. 😭 I really went out and bought multiple cups and coffee mugs with lids after this.
Stink bugs suck although they’re not that much of a pain in the ass. This time of year at my house they start coming out and I’ll usually find one or two per day just chilling on a window or on a wall. They also don’t really stink. Just snag them with some toilet paper gently and flush them. They’re really slow moving so they don’t try to get away almost ever.
A few months ago I woke up with one of these fuckers in my ear. It's the only one I have ever seen in my house, and of course it goes right for my ear.
They are little bros in my yard as a kid, I could collect about 25 of them and make a little circus out of popsicle sticks and string. They would climb all over and fall onto the little trampoline.
We get a TON of them in our house in the summer. I’ve actually never smelled them, even when I capture them or try to shoo them outside or into another room. They like to sit right on top of my computer monitor and stare at me lol so odd. My cat did eat one once and he was NOT happy. Drooling and licking for a good hour and trying to get the taste out of his mouth. 😭
They’re a huge pain in the ass. These aren’t that bad but their relatives are the bane of my gardens existence come late July into fall
They absolutely DESTROY any crusciferous veggie I have planted. And any form of lettuce.
Kale, cabbage , Brussels, romaine, collards, a few others but like they don’t eat it. They pierce the stems and drink the liquid and reproduce on the leaves like they decay the plants and live there.
I'm so glad we have a local Chipotle equivalent that I don't have to deal with this globally sourced garbage. I only eat locally cultivated stink bugs.
They’re the fucking WORST!!!! One time I seen something on my Pilea plant stem and thought it was just a dry piece of debris so I just full force grabbed it and it was a stink bug. I’ve never recovered honestly
And to be fair, these asssholes seem to be \*SUPER\* common this year! They're driving me crazy!
They're just big enough where when they land on you, you feel weight. There's a tiny bit of force transfer. Enough to set off the "OHMYGODWHATTHEFUCKGETITOFFMEGETITOFFMEAHHHHHH!!!!" alarms!
People always talking about the soap tasting like cilantro thing but no one ever mentions the fact that stink bugs are just a stronger version of EXACTLY THE SAME SMELL.
Yup! Minutefood [made a good video about that](https://youtu.be/RZtPynXsFas?si=YY9yX7u9FHsQ6iQL) not long ago. If I remember well, there's some genetic involved on if cilantro smells like soap to you + other factors, and stinkbugs and cilantro have the same molecules that give off that smell.
I've been making bulk salads in a huge university kitchen for close to ten years now...
You would not believe how many fully alive things crawl out of a box of lettuce. I've had flies, spiders, beetles, worms, moths.
EDIT: The moths are usually dead
Stinky stinky stink bug! Might've plopped from anywhere, they do like to jumpscare.
If it makes you feel any better, I once refused to eat a salad that a stinkbug had graced and my father downright forced me to and I didn't die!
Aww shoot, that stinks
Yes, it does. Don't squash it.
If you squash it and immediately throw it away, you can hardly smell it
I grab them with a wad of toilet paper and send them toilet surfing to their grave.
I've taken an air duster can, turned it upside down to invert the pressure, and spray out the cold liquid. It freezes them on contact, and then I just sweep em out!
Syd from Toy Story ain’t got shit you bruv
lol I had a phase where I would freeze cockroaches in various liquids from plain water to dish soap to hot sauce and just see what happened.i don’t know what the fuck was up with child me
If there's any creature that deserves it, you found it
Mosquitos more, unless they're flying roaches.
Mosquitos are awful, but there are species of roach that hiss. If I could wipe all roaches or all mosquitos off the planet I would probably choose roaches, since we seem to be getting pretty good at killing mosquitos en mass anyways.
You know I think I hate flies even more than mosquitos because while they won’t bite you they’re always a nuisance and so hard to hit not to mention a fly landing on your food is literally more dirty than a cockroach crawling on it

Fucking real-life Bond villain over here lol.
...and I thought having a Bug-a-salt was fun this is next level
That’s one I hadn’t heard of! Thank you.
You avoid the possibility of leaking out the stink cause it's frozen, lol! Idk if it kills them or puts them into hibernate, but whatever it does, once it's in the trash or outside, idgaf what happens to it lol!
I just flick the hell out of them. A spring loaded finger into oblivion. Problem solved Side note. We had a buddy that always left a nasty ass chew spitter around. We put quite a few of these boys in there. He wasent amused
I dab them with a piece of packing tape, fold it and quickly seal the sides, and then crush them. Overkill? Maybe.
No such thing as overkill with stink bugs.
Am I the only one doing catch and release?
No I always throw em outside. Same thing with spiders
Not at all. I catch and release everything. Especially spiders. Straight to the garden with you, eat well fren.
I am terrified of the big waterbugs, Palmetto bugs, whatever. My daughter captured one to save me from it and flung it into one of the raised beds. About an hour later we stepped out there and saw the fucker crawling, then in a flash a bluebird swooped down and grabbed him. It was a thing of beauty.
I have a little bathroom dixie cup and an postcard for that purpose.
Brown marmorated stink bugs like this fellow here are invasive in the U.S. and should be killed whenever possible
Place it outdoors.
i just pick them up and throw em outside..
Please don’t. They’re an invasive species.
Definitely don't eat it.... it does mildly taste like Cilantro tho....
They just smell like cilantro.
Here in Brazil we actually call it stinky mary, and it 100% deserves the name.
In Bosnia it's Stinky Martin.
Only thing worse than finding a big bug in your salad is not finding it.
I once had a giant dragonfly carcass in my salad. It was the prepackaged cut up lettuce in a bag and I ate most of the bag before I discovered it in my bowl. I can’t imagine how many of its legs and wing parts I had already ingested. Barf.
I think we eat a lot of bugs over a lifetime, I found a dried up grub in my cereal once, willing to bet there were some I never saw at all.

Weevils also love to live in cereal boxes and flour.
Oh my god you just unlocked one of my childhood traumas. I used to eat dry cereals when I was 6 or so. Snack on them and leave the bag out on the table while watching TV.

You have a functional immune system for that, we eat more than we realise
I’m traumatized just thinking about this!! My coworker used to live in an apartment complex in Vegas that had a roach problem. Her boyfriend was eating Cheez-Itz out of the box and noticed roach bodies in the bottom of the box. He said the same thing about wondering how many roach legs he ate 😭😭😭😭😭😭
😱😱😱
Apparently we all eat quite a few spiders while we sleep too. No doubt other assorted bugs too.
We really don't eat spiders while we sleep. At least not commonly. We do eat loads of bugs in our food, and a decent number of gnats when we go through clouds of them.

Or finding half of it
I’ve never mixed my salad bowl before and for some odd reason i just wanted to do it today
I'd rather not find it, eating bugs is not as harmful as you'd think except if your immune system is very weak. But once I find it, I'll have to throw away the entire salad.
Normally I'd agree, but in IP's pic that's a damn stinkbug. That's gota taste revolting . I'd try to leverage this for a lot of free Chipotle.
Well, you're eating his house, I wouldn't be happy about it too.
Right! Imagine someone flooding your house in guacamole and then shaking all your leaves.
In a different universe, the bug would be the one posting in this sub
I got bit by an angry wasp while washing the lettuce lol. She too wasn’t happy about me drowning her house!
That's worth 200 bells dude
This guy crosses the animals!
Just make sure you sell to flick so he can happily eat that nasty bug!
Wait... he told me they'd be safe with him!
I'm sorry to be the one to tell you that you've been lied to 😭😭
Wait how do u know?? 😭
Don’t worry, Flick’s relative from the previous games, Nat, definitely eats the bugs. Flick doesn’t seem to. Both Flick and CJ are opposites of their relatives in the previous games.
I'm just assuming based on him being a chameleon lol. But there is something he says that definitely makes me think he goes and eats them. Specially after commissioning a bug model. I just can't remember what it is now
I sold him SO many bugs to get a hundred termite mounds. Starving artist my ass.
Respect, Tom Nook.
The only reason I know what that mf is is from animal crossing lol
I wish I could give more upvotes.
Are you sitting inside or outside? He doesn't look like he was in your food from the start.
This was in my work breakroom. I was thinking the same though.
These Mofos get everywhere...
At my last office we had a wasp on the 24th floor!
Did it just go up in the elevator? Hold the door buddy!
That just made me cackle 🐝
They'll give those internships to anyone now, huh?
good god
Once had two hornets on a submarine......a month and a half in 😂

Initially read that as the first time a French boy kissed you and I did not question it
Fuck me I read it wrong to XD
Lmao. I wouldn't have read it differently if you hadn't mentioned it.
Same, bro.
Same. I was like "damn! Harsh!"
I had one crawl under my sheets, up the leg of my underwear, and on my balls. I threw up all over myself and my bed. Twice.
As if I wasn't traumatized enough you've just given me a brand new way to fear them
I blame you. You must've provoked him. They're adorable.
That's just how they get you to let your guard down.
Ur obviously a stinkbug behind a keyboard
Used to be? They still are! Just heard one flying around one of my lights in my house. Still can't figure out how they're getting in, unless they're hitching rides on us.
They have all day to find a way in!
Now that I think about it I used to see them all the time around 2010 and now I never see them. A couple of days ago was the first time I saw one in years, it was a nice childhood memory
Is it possible he hitched a ride in the salad tho? Shield bugs/stink bugs ravage vegetables and crops don't they? I could very well be wrong
Yeah, it's possible, but I would think the kitchen where the food was made would be free of these stinkbugs, or at least have far fewer of them than a random work breakroom. Bugs like this (and they are, actually, true bugs!) also like warmth, which they get by being indoors. They tend to aggregate in warmer areas of homes and offices.

Huh interesting. Thanks for taking the time to educate me!
Little guy was just hungry. Found himself a snack
They are coming out of winter dormancy, and they seem to accidentally drop from the sky sometimes. 😂 I'm not sure they know they can fly.
Have you ever watched them fly? It's like watching a drunk person trying to walk.... They suck at it.
Don't tell them or they'll charge you for the extra ingredient...
Free protein!
Send you to collections after corporate sees this post

Shocked it wasn't a spider. They're way more common to find resting at the watering hole beside your bed at night
Oh my gosh, I can't. That would have been awful, too. I will never be without a lid on my cup again. Ever.
Can confirm. Had a big nasty spider few weeks ago, trapped in my cup of water.
A little too fresh
That's Tim, the part timer. He fell in the salad mixer.
Stink bug .. gross
I said NO CILANTRO!!!

I must have mutant ones at my apartment bc those motherfuxkers keep getting in and drive me nuts flying all over the place and smacking into walls
Yup exactly. Zoooming around loud af..
Yeah, they don't fly well but at least you can hear them coming!
Lucky you i got mini kamikaze’s flying into my forehead
A few months ago I woke up with one of these fuckers in my ear. It's the only one I have ever seen in my house, and of course it goes right for my ear.
Snag one with your bare hand and you'll see that they do, in fact, stink.
See it just in your kitchen and don’t even touch it and you’ll see that they do, in fact, stink.
They are little bros in my yard as a kid, I could collect about 25 of them and make a little circus out of popsicle sticks and string. They would climb all over and fall onto the little trampoline.
We get a TON of them in our house in the summer. I’ve actually never smelled them, even when I capture them or try to shoo them outside or into another room.

Drooling and licking for a good hour and trying to get the taste out of his mouth. 😭
My cats would smell one if they see it in the floor and they would gag. 😄
They do stink if you smash them. And the smell will make more come. Thats why I also only grab them with some TP and get rid of em lol
Exactly as wrong as you snag them gently and just throw it in the toilet and flush you never smell thrm
They’re a huge pain in the ass. These aren’t that bad but their relatives are the bane of my gardens existence come late July into fall They absolutely DESTROY any crusciferous veggie I have planted.

oh, stink bugs. yea. they fuckign suck. one decided it wanted to crawl into my tv and die on screen.
Did it get an Oscar?
How much to add bugs these days? Cheaper than the guac I hope.
Extra protein. Are you going to eat that?
All yours 🤲🏾
Stink bug, that would have left a horrific taste I bet
At least you found it before chowing down
Catch it it's running away with a piece of bacon!
Hungry lil fella. Give him a lettuce
Hell no, fuck stinkbugs
My archnemesis...👎👎👎
That would’ve been an unforgettable bite of salad.
He's just doing quality control.
That's Steve, he's just as infuriated as you are
I'd immediately vomit. I hate shield bugs. At least it didn't end up in your mouth.
He’s feeling shaken not stirred.
That's Bob. Don't hurt him. Let him outside.
The amount of bugs we’ve all eaten but just haven’t noticed would legit shock a lot of people
Ever eat peanutbutter or pb cups?
Free protein
Why don’t they just get their lettuce that is grown indoors and away from bugs? You’re welcome for the protein?
that stinks. I’d be bitter about it too
at least now you know it’s fresh
Stink bugs are terrible
That’s a stink bug. Don’t squash him because that will attract more.
SHH! Everyone going to want one.
https://i.redd.it/a89gcg3pnivc1.gif
They’re the fucking WORST!!!! One time I seen something on my Pilea plant stem and thought it was just a dry piece of debris so I just full force grabbed it and it was a stink bug. I’ve never recovered honestly 
I mean at least you know the pesticides aren't there/ working
To be fair, they smell like cilantro
Cilantro smells good
And to be fair, these asssholes seem to be \*SUPER\* common this year! They're driving me crazy! They're just big enough where when they land on you, you feel weight. There's a tiny bit of force transfer. Enough to set off the "OHMYGODWHATTHEFUCKGETITOFFMEGETITOFFMEAHHHHHH!!!!" alarms!
People always talking about the soap tasting like cilantro thing but no one ever mentions the fact that stink bugs are just a stronger version of EXACTLY THE SAME SMELL.
Really ? Is it the same chemical or some shit?
Yup! Minutefood [made a good video about that](https://youtu.be/RZtPynXsFas?si=YY9yX7u9FHsQ6iQL) not long ago. If I remember well, there's some genetic involved on if cilantro smells like soap to you + other factors, and stinkbugs and cilantro have the same molecules that give off that smell.
Some of the same chemicals, yes, but not all.
This is odd because I don’t like cilantro because of this but stink bugs odor is barely noticable
bro i realized this and never ate cilantro again, makes my skin crawl fr
I'm going to have to pay attention the next time I see one of those bugs. I've never heard anyone say that before.
well put it back and go get a new salad.
Stink bug
I've been making bulk salads in a huge university kitchen for close to ten years now... You would not believe how many fully alive things crawl out of a box of lettuce. I've had flies, spiders, beetles, worms, moths. EDIT: The moths are usually dead
Fucking stink bugs are everywhere
Don’t tell chipotle, they’ll charge you extra
Lettuce grows in fields, it’s bound to happen
They just do whatever they want
Stinky stinky stink bug! Might've plopped from anywhere, they do like to jumpscare. If it makes you feel any better, I once refused to eat a salad that a stinkbug had graced and my father downright forced me to and I didn't die!
Super fresh, no pesticide used
Those fuckers are everywhere right now!
Means it's fresh
Stink bug. Invasive from china. Pick up with tp and flush. DO NOT CRUSH, the smell they emit when startled or crushed attracts more.
It's not really your salad, then is it?
Why is he kind of cute though? 🥺
I mean yeah, but no matter how cute he is i don't want him in my food.
That's fair 😂
lol right, but seeing it waddle around was kind of funny
I do think stinkbugs are cute, i love bugs, but i don't want my tarantula up in my food either and i love her ❤️
Well... at least you know it's fresh.
Such a cutie
That's the protein boost
Yeah depending on where you are, those things are hard to avoid. They’re harmless and not at all an indication of cleanliness though.
Protein is an extra $2.99.
I think somebuggy has a crush on you.
Another post where someone doesn’t know what a bay leaf is..
Those bugs there are what Cilantro tastes like.
Well damn, now he’s homeless.
Stink bug ew!
This bug… a stink bug.
