She killed them dead!!!

ROFLOL

This was a true story, I guarantee it.

She stood there boldly and said "I curse you in the name of......."! But I can't really say it because I don't want to 'bug' anybody, and some will say it's taking the Lord's name in vain. My friend would be happy to inform them that God doesn't want any plagues to come near her dwelling (Psalm 91) What did you think, that there was no scriptural reference for this? Ha!

All I can tell you is I witnessed a few bugs very effectively reach their untimely demise this way.
I repeat, I do NOT exterminate "my" plagues this way, but it's a very sobering lesson.
