Pickle's bug story is making my skin crawl. Again. Earlier today I went to trim my husband's beard (between barber appointments). I lifted the wastepaper basket in his bathroom so he could hold it under his chin and in the basket was a huge, fortunately dead, water bug. Just to be sure it wasn't moving I sprayed it with some hair spray - didn't move - so I bravely dumped it into the toilet bowl and flushed it into swirling water heaven. We don't get them often and almost never in HIS bathroom; mine adjoins an apartment with a whirlpool/spa so I find one every now and then. We were out to dinner tonight and I was just about over it and then I read Pickle's posting....and now I just KNOW this little devil will be crawling around my bed tonight. Bugs, yuck.

Well the ole bug is dead, I will not hrow out my ron it is working well but it is a wierd feeling knowing I have a dead bu floating around in there. When I first bought it I got a fly in there maybe it was just a test to see how I would react with a bigger bug.LOL The plug is a good idea but who really thinks of a bug getting into an iron. I sure didn't.I did do most of the thigs suggested from all of you but it won't come out. But thanks any way.

if you think the critter was thirsty then be sure to leave a small dish of water next to the new iron that you are going to get this afternoon.hehehe

I'm with all of you who would be dumping that iron into the garbage on my way to the car and shopping for a new one. I don't DO bugs, slugs, snakes and any other creepy crawly things you can come up with. I am a firm believer that the only good snake, slug, spider, bug, etc. is a dead one or at least one that isn't in my living space ...

I like the suggestion to poour vinegar into the iron. That way you'd have Pickled bug. LOL

I have a pair of long nosed hemostats in my sewing kit for the purpose of getting things out of little deep places. Works like a charm. Cheap and very useful.
