I would take 11 Ryan Goslings on defense. We'd lose every game, but damn if girls wouldn't blow you just for a chance at meeting him....or one of him in this case. Is there a law of diminishing female returns with multiple Ryan Goslings?

I think your plan might backfire, bro.

Note that at the 10th Ryan Gosling, girls interested in you drops to negative 1 as even your mother stops loving you.

I think your research is flawed. Certainly at 11 Ryan Goslings there's enough to go around for multiple females, thereby taking away from the rest of us. However, if there's only 1 Ryan Gosling on your team he simply can't make every woman's pants drop, so if you're on that team with him you likely get a lot of action as women will want to meet him or "use" you to get close to him. It's simple Gosling supply and demand.

I counter your supply and demand with "inferior goods." Even if Gosling filled said females with desire, you and I would still be ugly slobs in juxtaposition.

No...No...No.... Didn't you guys ever take a science class?

Cloning is not perfect, each new Gosling will undoubtedly be flawed slightly from it's host...

Simple... The Law of Diminishing Gosling...


Get learnt', peoples!

You clearly underestimate Ryan Gosling's ability to make women wet. Ugly slobs have been getting laid for years simply by taking women to Gosling movies. Now imagine if you played on the same team as Ryan Gosling, you would be swimming in pussy that he can't keep up with. Women would sleep with you for the chance to get close to him. It's science.

So you're suggesting a Ryan Gosling uncanny valley?

We've always had a local pest control company, never had ants, spiders ( in the desert where both are overwhelming) and they remove mice, gophers and such for a small add fee,.....

Am I missing something?

Does someone need to rid their attic of Ryan Goslings?



[When he grows up will he change his name to Ryan Goose?]

That poses an interesting question...if one's attic is infested with Ryan Goslings, does your wife call an exterminator, or does she kill you in your sleep and move into the attic?

Neither, She just waits until you fall asleep then spends the night in the attic.

Nah, it seems to have left on its own. Unless it was the bat and he fell asleep for three months.

We had a professional come out and he basically told us it was a single critter, not any kind of colony or infestation.

I actually work in pest control for the past 10 yrs. If your attic is that small. Try getting some Wild Fox Urine. You can get it at feed stores. Put it on a couple of cotton balls and toss them in your attic. Works great. Don't use too much of it though. Try some outside first to get a sense of them smell.

No, it's ALWAYS been bees. Not varmint plus bees. It had stopped over the winter so we left it alone but it's back louder than ever. Professionals coming tomorrow.

Koon infestations are the worst.

Help control the pest population, have your Koons spayed or neutered!

Freaking comedy of errors. The pest control guy is up in the attic and finds a wasp's nest the length of our bedroom (i.e. half the house), but he can't safely get to it because apparently we have wonky insulation that makes it extremely difficult to find the joists. While he's up there, he finds a dead bat (the thing we heard months ago) that has apparently been murdered by the wasps. Meanwhile, the City of Bristol drives by with their arborist cherry-picker and rips the Comcast wires out of the side of the house. So now we have live wires, dead bats, and a pest control guy trying to kill a wasp's nest in the attic from ground level with a giant ass pole.

Rodent's, Koons, Bees and Hornets?

It's almost like someone is putting them in there on purpose...

I have a giant lizard that lives in or around a tree that overhangs the portion of my house where our master bedroom is... some morning this thing gets on our roof... I swear you would think a freaking grizzly bear with a trampoline is on our roof... haha... thank goodness this rarely happens, but it does happen from time to time... this sucker is big too... I caught him once our twice just hanging on the side of the tree or even on our outside walls... scared me half to death the first time... probably just under two feet from nose to tail.

Anyone know how to deal with snakes?

I've lived in my house for two years and have only occasionally seen a snake. I live in a very rural area that has a draining ditch in my backyard, a large woods a quarter mile away and a corn field 20 feet away so we get all sorts of critters around. I even have deer run through every now and then and I live in town. Pretty neat. Anyways, this year the snake population has been pretty crazy and my wife found their home. Under our cement porch. They are "crawling" through the crack between our walkway and porch.

There is no way for me to get under the porch but I've used caulk to cover the opening and they are still managing to get through that. These are just harmless Garter snakes but I do not want snakes getting inside of my house. I've already killed a handful (don't go PETA on me, now) due to my wife's Ophidiophobia.

Any suggestions or past experiences? I really do not want to go the exterminator way just yet.

A couple notes from experience:

1. Repellents dont work. An old remedy people swore by was mothballs, but that wont do anything

2. There are live snake traps you could try before going the exterminator route, thats really all you can do, other than not have natural areas for them like bushes and other overgrown stuff.

3. I think sealing off any entry point and setting a trap is a good start. Good luck

Have you tried snake traps?
