    Most bugs are chill imo, they just want a place to hang and mind their own business. Flies, mosquitos and ticks get exterminated on sight however.

    Sadly that big has been removed from it’s home and placed into the wilderness. You’re better off squishing them sadly.

      The punctuation mistake tells me I can’t do it cruelly, which ruins half the fun when it’s stink bugs involved. Fuck those things.

        How so they get in? I’m just minding my business. Having a good time, suddenly, stink bug. At my old house I had a jar with salt I’d capture them in.

    I’m curious your opinion on black widows or other deadly venomous creatures? I’ve had a bunch in my car, house and yard. And I have been recommended just burning it all but I don’t have new anything money.

      High percentage alcohols are extremely toxic to all insects and arachnids. 95% isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle will have them rapidly dead.

      Yellow jackets are fair game as well. Gandalf didn’t give a damn about Uruk-hai, Orc or Balrog.

    I’ve got a thriving little eco system of lizards and spiders in my house. Love those guys.

      For real! They mind their own business and keep your house clean of the real pests.

    Did that with a mouse yesterday ! But I expect she was likely eaten by one of the many neighborhood cats in the following hours.
