Do you kill insects?

Hi

If you were to see a little insect crawling in your home, do you pick it up and place it in the garden or do you kill them?

What do you think will happen if you do not kill insects?

[gkd_uk]

I think it is good not to kill insects as they are living creatures.

I quite agree with you that one should not kill insects or other living creatures unnecessarily but if you do not kill or get rid of a mosquito for example and it bites you, the consequences for you is not good.

mmmm, I agree with you there Temi

Well it depends and I do try not to kill anything unless I fear it.

With spiders I don't kill them and always either leave them alone or if my son's get a bit scared then I remove the spider in a tub and take it outside. Sometimes I drop it out of the window onto the grass so it won't die from falling.

I hate flies with a vengence and we hardly get any in our house and when they do turn up I open the door and chase them around the house with the fly squatter. If they don't choose to leave through the open door then I wack them.

I also hate bee's and wasps and have a phobia with them because I was attacked by them when I was a child so If I can't get them to go out through the door or window then I wack them with the fly squatter. My hairs on my skin stand on end when ever a wasp comes near me.

You can't tell when a wasp will attack so lots of people are frightened of them
