I would overfill the well and see if it floated. If not, dump out some water, cover the hole and shake it, re overfill. Shake upside down. Grumbling the whole time.

Is he alive? Turn on the iron. Maybe he'll back out. LOL. I would give it to my DH too. I'm a little squeamish with bugs and etc.

Maybe you could teach him to iron.

Oh, good grief!
Try to flush the bug out. |
"What's that bug doing in my iron?" she asked.
Hubby looks closely: "Looks like the backstroke!" Just an old soup and waiter joke. My first thought was vinegar. That would assure it is dead, and after pouring it all out, I'd do the vinegar clean that they recommend for irons. Not that I think to do it very often. |
Take the iron outside and dump it out there. Bugs don't bother me. My Granddaugher would let out a piercing scream that would deafen me. She hates bugs and spiders and snakes.

I'm sure you would've heard me screaming if this had happened to me! Once I recovered from the heart attack, I suppose I'd try to get it out with tweezers like Susan said. Ugh.
Even as poor as I am, I'd have tossed that iron right in the outside trash and headed to Wallyworld for the next one!!!! <shutter, grimace, chills, yucks>:mad: Jan in VA |
Well Pickle..........."BUG"........"IRON" update??? Did you get the bug out...throw out the iron....???
|
Sounds like a slug to me. I would haave to buy a new iron
|
Put a stopper in the bathroom sink and turn the iron upside down and shake it -- pour more water in it and repeat the process until the bug comes out. I say do this in the sink so you can be sure it comes out and where it lands.
It's just a bug...nothing to throw the iron out over by any means. |
