I can't bring myself to kill a bug. I'll carefully pick it up and throw it outside or get one of my cats to eat it so that I don't have to kill it.

I don't like to destroy any living thing, I either remove myself from a bothersome insect until it decides to leave by the open window or I eject it with dignity via the cat flap if I am in a hurry.
That same cat flap was once the source of entry for my lovely cat Charlie bringing me a live mouse to play with while I was bedridden. The mouse was ejected after I cornered it behind the cooker and the cat flap became exit only from that day forward. :roll:

I also use a sonic frequency gadget which scares creatures away and that seems to work with spiders thankfully.

Interesting. If this works with ants, wasps, and hornets, I definitely need one for my house.

I can say none of the mentioned beasties have visited my home, I have just checked the details and it`s made by Lentek and I bought it from shopping channel QVSee.

Unless it's outside, the life expectancy of a sighted bug is less than a few seconds. I don't care what it is or what it's doing, the only good bug is a dead bug.

+1

I think it's more than a few seconds though...

Enough of insects.

What about people? Do you kill people on sight?
