How does anyone ferment in their house without precautions? My primary and blowoff reservoir are in a large tupper tub, and I put a cardboard box over the carboy. I found one laying around that said "Better Bottle" on it, and for some reason, it fits right over the top of the better bottle with the hose running down in one of the corner spaces of the box.
 
I once added strawberry puree during fermentation, but instead of an explosion on the ceiling, I had a foamy volcano all over the kitchen floor. Good times. Still kinda sticky.
 
That will teach you to use buckets with the top just laying there, not pushed down, for those High Gravity Beers... Sorry about the mess...
