    I go out of my way to not kill an insect now.

    I think I feel bad cause I tortured a few bugs in my youth, ripping legs off etc,me and a friend use to get this spider high who had a web on the side of my house by blowing direct smoke directly to him. We called him Highderman

    If I find a insect in my home I try to let it escape, Only exception prob is wasp, bees or anything that might sting or bite.

    As far as I can see tho, their are no insect cruelty laws. Is that just cause Society as a whole does not care about one of their weakest member, or that it would be impossible to enforce?

    My opinion, I eat meat so not against killing of animals of food/ etc but think torture of any creature should be illegal. Insects are food in some countries so opinion prob varies Worldwife.

    My whole block gets ants about twice a year and I kill about 10,000 of those annoying bitches.

    Don't get me started on centipedes and millipedes if I see one I don't stop til he is dead.

    ants come into your house once/year, they just take the available food, seal up your food and let the ants clean up your house.

    don't be scared.

    The problem is my dog is a weirdo and he doesn't eat his food right away like normal dogs so I'll come home and his food will be covered with ants.

    Well I don't look at it as protecting my home it's not like they're termites. But yeah anyone who tortures an insect or animal is a psycho.

    When I was a kid, we used to take a magnifying glass and direct the sun at a grass-hoppers head. It's kinda funny...they would just sit there doing nothing, while their head is smoking.

    As for house bugs...I kill the spiders, but I don't clean em up right away. I leave em dead for their buddies to see, as a warning to GTFO. lol
