You have to introduce their natural Predators.

Then we send wave after wave of gorillas at them!

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.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I love that it would look right at home in Australia

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A crowbar might be surprisingly effective.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have you considered running for your life, mate?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Game Over, Man. Game Over.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Technically not using pesticides 😂👍

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

It’s just looking for a fresh face!

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Fire. Lots of it.

i olny have inhumane solutions

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

[–] [email protected] 8 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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Just move out, you have already lost the garden

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Just walk around in the yard for a bit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

It is what you think it is haha

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Idk maybe a facehugger from Aliens?
