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.

What specific reason are you referring to for ending their time on this material plane?

Many bug’s native habitat is actually inside your home, putting them outside is like sending them to die a slow death in Siberia instead

Oh that’s a interesting thought. Thinking they evolved and adapted to live with us. Normally I only associate that with dogs and the like. Never considerd bugs.

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.

Did y’all watch the same movie?

He, for sure, tried to stop the balrog from making the biggest mistake of his life. The Balrog just didn’t listen.

I went to relocate a spider outside yesterday like I normally do. Scooped it up in Tupperware and took it outside without much thought.

Only when I released it did I realise it was a redback. Those I usually do murder if I find them in the house, mainly out of concern for my dog. I’m now reconsidering that approach. It was no biggie catching or releasing it (huntsmans are a whole other story… So fast and jumpy) so maybe I’ll do that in future.
