Wasps and mosquitos are on my hit list. Otherwise, I take everything outside.
Yes, most of them. Scorpions gotta go though.
Mosquitoes die on sight.
Ants will be poisoned if they get too close to my home.
Flies I'll kill if they annoy me
Spiders I'll bring outside.
Moths and ladybugs = catch and release
Anything else = kill on sight
I fuck them all up especially ants. I fucking hate ants.
there is an ongoing war in my home being fought. me vs the cockroaches and i honestly dont think i will win. kill one and two appear.
So I was going back through this thread just now when this asshole flew in through the window behind me...
That'd be an example of a bug I definitely won't avoid killing... Also if anyone can identify this thing, I'd appreciate it. Need to know what sort of hive I have to go hunt down now...
You shouldn't actually kill those.
Get this stuff, put it around your house in strategic areas, and resist the urge to kill them on sight. They will eat this, poison themselves, take it back to the hive, die, and then they BECOME the poison, because their comrades eat them, and then also die.
We had an issue in the townhouse we used to live in. We had a flood, so the walls had to be perforated, which let them in from our gross neighbor's unit. Used this stuff, and a couple weeks later, no more problem.
For most bugs, like mosquitos, I'm pretty sure the only reason is "It will destroy the food web and ecosystem" but I don't know that that applies to cockroaches and wasps... Not too many things seem to enjoy eating those.Ugh. And you just KNOW there's some reason we can't just burn them all permanently.
Btw, is it true that we could exterminate all mosquitos without any negative consequences?
I'm so glad to have only seen a single cockroach in 28(18 in the city) years, and it was outside, in the bushes close to our house.
You'd kill a lovely bee?

If he's in my house, he will drown in Raid.

Actually, ladybugs seem to be the one exception everyone has agreed upon so far (unless I missed someone saying they don't spare those specifically, anyway).What the fuck, are you people insane ? Why on earth are you killing everything passing by ? Mosquitoes I get it, ok flies can be annoying and are not really healthy but killing things that can"t even harm you is just stupid. People are even killing ladybugs, christ.
Why not drive over cats in the street since we're at it.

I'm no expert but it looks like an Eastern cicada killer to me. Large ground-hunting wasp.

Ladybugs is the US term for Ladybirds, beetles with red and white spots, is that right?Actually, ladybugs seem to be the one exception everyone has agreed upon so far (unless I missed someone saying they don't spare those specifically, anyway).
