My day isn't complete unless I kill a few of those damn things. In my house, they usually get in through the bathroom vent. Those ones get a convenient burial at sea. At work, they like to commit suicide by making sure they get run over by a car or a piece of equipment, releasing their stench through my shop.

At least they're slow-moving and dumb as a rock, making them easy to capture/kill. How to effectively kill them without stinking the place up is the issue. I use a glass pickle jar with some cleaning solvent inside. Kills 'em and keeps the stank sealed up. Just hold your nose when you open it up to put one in once you get a few in there [:'(] ~Jim

Apparently I am immune to their smell, because I can never smell them. I read somewhere that it is possible to not be able to smell them.

I can't smell them either.. but when one gets stuck in my hair, you can expect a Youtube-quality rendition of a freak dance out of me..

Can I have your nose? [:D]

Although I count myself luckier when it comes to biologically imbued advantages. I am completely immune to the itching caused by Toxicodendron radicans...

Essentially the same for me, but to get nit-picky it would be an immunity to Urushiol. [;)]
