Do You Kill Bugs For No Good Reason?

What about that time in the evening all the flying bugs get out. They always seem to be right in my path on the bicycle trails

Never mind about all the ones you kill with your front window if you drive a car in the right season.

 

Read up before hiring any pest control....doubt they can kill stink bugs. Heck, I have blasted them with Raid and they crawled away, no other critters will eat them. They are hard to kill, they demolish fruit trees ya know, can kill an entire tree in days, a crop in weeks.

 

The question was on purpose....who can avoid not killing them when walking on them or driving into them...hat was not the question. I am not a natural born killer...pretty simple.

 

We have pest control on yearly pay roll...they check here once a month, as we live in woods and have been invaded before by other things....and they do not do anything about stink bugs anyway...use all the raid you want. Poison free here.

 

Reminds me of vegetarians...don't they realize bugs must be killed to raise their veggies and fruit? I garden organically....but cannot allow bugs to dine on my food, they can eat every bit, leave ya with nothing.

I'd love to hear from a gardener that never kills a bug...can it be done?

 

Actually...I don't use poison either. The Raid incident was at someone else's house.

I kill the stink bugs by puting them in soap and water...take care of my flower and garden with diamotaceous earth or vinegar.


Hey wait a minute...not trying to pick on ya but...you found a pest control company that does not use a poison? And...if you have a company like that on payroll...you pay to kill bugs. C'mon....

 

correction....show me a tick and it is killed, immediately...one ruined my life pretty much for quite a long time...and i still am not the same I was before getting lyme's disease.... once upon a time.
goes forThat the blood sucking mosquitoes, as well.

 

In theory you could relocate most bugs, but in reality it would not work, even if you would be on it 24/7 (except maybe if you got a very small garden, but then you will still see all your efforts were in vain because of some kind of mold or bacteria ).

 

True, invasive species around here, too. Although, in my experience, they only stink when you squish them.

 

Which draws others, responding to the smell.

 

good,, come into the stinkbug hotel. where they check in but they dont check out..

 

Those Chinese ladybugs stink too...

 

i only intentionally kill bugs when they bite me.

we get stinkbugs out the ass around here, but i've never actually smelled one. i assume it's because i don't go around stomping on them.

well, not the specific bug. unless insects have incredible life expectancy where you live.

 

the only insects i kill and for the only reason is to prevent them colonizing the insides of technology and from crawling all over me it they do. as long as they're outside they can be as happy as they want to be.
ants mostly. the queens with the wings come in looking for someplace to start colonies in the spring time. if they can be prevented from doing so, it saves having to battle with poisons and all that, to get rid of their colonies later.

as long as their not trying to colonize the house and the stuff in the house, i see no reason to bother them.

spiders are good. you can tease them to make it rain. didn't say it always works. didn't say anything does.

 

Well, i kill bugs only if they annoying me, like mosquitos or some fly )

 

Not since I was a kid when we would terrorize any living creature or bug that moved.

We’d pour lighter fluid on Crayfish, we used firecrackers to scare squirrels, and we’d pull the legs off of Daddy Long-Leg Spiders

 

mosquitolitoes, now there's one species, if you want to believe the universe was created by someone who should of known what they were doing, proves they were a complete idiot.

 

Now that's fucked up, especially the crayfish. I remember watching in horror as my cousin burned a moth with a magnifying glass. Kids can be heartless.

 

Good thing we didn't know they were edible
