Well, if you think THAT was an adventure, I'd like to tell you what my husband just found floating in our bathroom toilet bowl.

I hear him exclaim: "holy cow, this is the biggest waterbug I've ever seen, and it's dead in the toilet bowl".

Now just so you know, I don't have bugs, they are NOT allowed in my home, and I haven't seen a waterbug in god knows how long.

And in the past, if we did see them, they'd be in the bathtub, they would come out of wherever waterbugs come out of but they would be ALIVE and not dead floating in the water of my toilet bowl.

So, as a precaution, for the past year, I have placed a small round heavy dish over the bathtub drain, and in my sink (when we are not using the sink, and we tape the overflow thing in the bathroom sink so we really haven't had a VISITOR in god knows how long.

So I run in there with my can of spray (I'm extremely careful not to spray in open areas, I spray down in the vents and I usually use natural stuff, and they have been working just fine. But I guess the weather is changing or whatever. I live in Brooklyn NY and today was very cold so I don't KNOW WHERE THIS CREATURE WAS HIBERNATING or wherever he was hiding from us.

So I ran in the bathroom and this thing was huge and I said 'that's not a cockroach that's a waterbug and let's see if it's really dead.

Because usually you have to spray until they can't move any more.

Well this think was dead in the water and it looked like it had BEEN DEAD FOR SOME TIME.

And I had been in the bathroom earlier, cleaning, brushing my teeth and I saw no bug because if I HAD seen a bug they would have heard me in Philadelphia, believe me.

So I'm thinking: "hm, where did this guy come from? Could he have come from inside my toilet bowl?

I mean, the water in the bowl has to go SOMEWHERE when you flush the bowl so I'm thinking maybe it came FROM somewhere, drowned, and came up into my toilet bowl.????

Is this even possible??

So any of you knowledgable bug experts out there, come and answer my dillemma okay?? Because only god knows if I see another one of these things during the night when I pee, I'll just have a heart attack. lol
