Alix: I can't believe you vacuumed up my BUG collection. Val: Once they're loose they go from collection to PESTS. Alix: Where are they NOW? Val: I cut the vacuum bag open over the compost pile. They all ran free. Gramma Evie: Wow, THAT was above and beyond. Val: Have you BEEN to one of Alix's bug funerals? To be avoided at ALL costs.
