Image Transcription:

Facebook post by user Nevin Tressler to the Organic Gardening group reading: "They are destroying my garden. What is it and how do I get rid of them without pesticides"

Attached are two photos, one of a xenomorph facehugger from Aliens wrapped around a plant pot with a succulent in it that appears to be mid-topple, the second photo is of the same facehugger apparently scurrying away from the same now-toppled pot.

A flamethrower will work and it is not a pesticide.

[-] robbotlove@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

get away from her you bitch.

[-] NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago

They mostly come out at night.

Mostly.

I thought this was real and the OOP was Australian. Took me far too long to get it.

I love that it would look right at home in Australia

We would take them as pets because they are really friendly and misunderstood. They just like to climb around your bedroom walls at night and you often wake up with them suspended directly above you on the roof

Lmfao omg

Sounds like my cat

It would probably get killed by the local fauna pretty quick. Then it would get tossed on the BBQ

[-] anonymoose@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 year ago

They're actually harmless and keep your yard free of invasive species (like humans).

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

A crowbar might be surprisingly effective.

Is it also important to stay entirely silent while doing this method?

[-] nogrub@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

yeah as soon as you pick up a corwbar you can't talk anymore

Have you considered running for your life, mate?

Would I find that brand at Lowe's or Home Depot?

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

Just do it like you would do with a spider in your house: catch it alive, and set it free in an environment where it can thrive, e.g. Washington, D.C.

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

I just keep an orange tabby called Jonesy around to help with that

[-] geekworking@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

The only problem is that it's just a matter of time until he brings a not quite dead one into the house as a present.

[-] dipshit@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

It’s just looking for a fresh face!

[-] Discola@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago

Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure

[-] Venat0r@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Technically not using pesticides 😂👍

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 year ago

Flamethrowers seem to be the go-to solution if you don't want to use pesticides.

[-] whaleross@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

My gut feeling is to just face it or it will burst out of control.

[-] cloudless@feddit.uk 14 points 1 year ago

OceanGate has a device that can kill a person faster than the brain can process what's going on. That should be humane.

[-] esadatari@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

is “hug therapy” not the way? that explains my family’s disappearance.

[-] Adulated_Aspersion@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Fire.

Lots of fire.

[-] pewgar_seemsimandroid 10 points 1 year ago

i olny have inhumane solutions

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

I'd recommend a pulse rifle, or flamethrower.

If you want to be sure, nuke it from orbit. It's the only way.

These are not pesticides, therefore within the limitations of the question.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

They have acid blood, so I would suggest a strong base such as bleach.

[-] Monkstrosity@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Nothing an L56A3 Smartgun can’t handle. I always keep mine resting on the back porch ready for these pesky varmints.

[-] TheFreed@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Just move out, you have already lost the garden

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 1 year ago

Just walk around in the yard for a bit.

[-] Radio_717@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

That thing looks like a face bugger from Aliens. What is it?

[-] techingtenor@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

It is what you think it is haha

[-] H2207@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Idk maybe a facehugger from Aliens?
