Killing Bugs or Not?

[cantona7]

Bug zappers bring out the bug sadist in me "Look everybody, it's Frankenbug...pzzzt..It's alive, pzzzt, no it aint....pzzzt...it's alive, pzzzt, no it aint."

i generally try to avoid killings bugs. i stepped on a slug the other night while out smoking a joint and felt pretty bad. the only things i'll kill are poisonous spiders but not even sure what i'd do then.

Unless you're on about Black Widows or the like I don't see why you'd kill a spider, Tarantulas aren't poisonous or deadly by the way and will only ever bite if provoked.

i was def on about black widows, also brown recluses and hobo spiders. we have them mostly in eastern Washington. most of the poisonous spiders/snakes stay east of the mountains, but occasionally you'll see them here.

This is Cheech Boneys' wife. I kill bugs. Today I killed:

approx.
10 flies
1 mosquito
1 huge moth
1 tiny moth
a shit load of wasps
couple nests of ants

And I have my left eyeball trained on another couple flies more.

About the last one today was a nat up my nose whilst mowing and that fooker I blew out dead on me sleeve. Then I hit the tree with my head and really blew the bugger out.

I can hit a fly in mid air with a dish towel...course the towel needs a washing after. I shove them dead out the door. The only good bug in a house is behind glassor in a jar.
Regards,
Cheech

Nope, don't kill 'em. Think it's a bit harsh tbh, i bet my appearance freaks some people out, but if they hit with a newspaper i'd be a pissed off guy.

Although i did just stand on a slug bare foot. Accidental and squishy.

Ya, those moths are DEADLY, if i were you i'd spray my house with DDT, maybe get some electric wire up.
Those deadly moths are serious business .

Flys, Silverfish, Earwigs, spiders, wasps, hornets, other and assorted bastards are killed on the spot if not killed and flushed down the toilet they will promptly crawl back into your wall and make a big family.

I saw a bug I killed come back to life, one day about three weeks after it was squashed I saw it's antennae moving like it was trying to come around, freakiest shit ever. Since then they all get flushed right away.

I like bees, they get a gentle coaxing to go outside or are re-located to the outdoors to carry on.

For flys, It's the best to find one of those thick rubber bands and go all karate kid on their ass and pick them off a wall from 10 feet or ninja style and try for when they're flying.

Cheech again. Moths are deadly to vintage clothes, carpets and textiles.

I prefer to let most bugs wander off unharmed or give them a little helping hand outside.
When spiders are walking across the wall I sometimes use them for darts practice. People are amazed and say don't they get splattered and make a mess. I say no, I'm so good that I pin 'em through the leg
Only joking !!!
Lots of good bugs and stuff have been getting destroyed in large numbers through pesticides etc. particularly bees which pollenate loads of crops and make the yummy hunny.
Unless I'm cornered by a swarm of killer wasps I'm going to let the bug world pass on through.
