# I have bug trap duty at work
My boss hasn't realised I recoil in horror when they catch things like HUGE SPIDERS and I'm to terrified to do anything

# This is quite genuine
Given we have books worth quite literally bazookers of pounds, we have to monitor moths and their ilk's activity at every part of the library, including the strongrooms; the problem being the traps generally capture the hugest spiders known to humanity, which I have to clear up. Them being still being alive and wreathing all over the joint doesn't help when I come across them :(

# if you wait ten minutes after you come across them
they should be dead or, at the least, too sticky to move

# It's really quite unpleasant
the traps are basically a tablet that is irresistible to insects, on top of superglue, so these huge fuckers are drawn in, land one leg in the trap and are fucked, spending the rest of their pointless lives trying to struggle free

It's utterly horrible, and I really don't appreciate having to put them in the bin

But i'm just a grunt

# if it's not in your job description
tell them to fuck off.
if it is in your job description, tell them that, as a pacifist, killing insects is against your beliefs

# I think it's come to this
I had to ask someone else to remove the last arachnid captive I found

# That's strange, what's wrong with mothballs?
Also, you're in good company - several big strong men have had to ask me to remove spiders from their homes.

# They are probably feeding on the pests
that might be damaging five hundred year old books, so I agree

they just can't be expected to read the brief
