LOL I usually take my cat over to one to let her kill it for me. Sometimes I saw one she had already killed but most of the time she eats them.

Hahahaaaa same here. No creepy crawlies are safe with her. ^_^

Do you do it because it is necessary?
Remember they are creation of God.
Do you ever travel by motorized vehicle? Better hope you're never in one that, in its course of operation, ends the life of a creeping thing. You might want to check the front of the radiator before you enter...

Is this theological discussion, David? :)

(i sometimes ask God to help me get those bugggz if i just saw a big ol' centipede scamper under or between a cabinet, for instance, or a spider.)
I think it actually might be for him. Although the avatar with the "Unknown Comic" look arouses a measure of suspicion, doesn't it?

I always try not to... I beep to scare squirrels out of the street, stop for other animals... but we will kill things regardless. Just look at your windshield! :)

One of my nieces accidently ran over her 16 year old cat. She wasn't as fast as she used to be. Broke her heart. She's not been able to get another cat since.

Just like the greatest man born of woman other than Jesus - John the Baptist - before me, I kill them by the dozens.

But unlike him - I draw the line at eating them.

We absolutely kill bugs! If they are in my house, they are fair game.

I call my girls the Bug Brigade because they don't care how big the bug is, including spiders and roaches, they go after it and eliminate it. They are fearless!

**BTW, you have an interesting avatar. :)
Reminds me of hammsters avatar, lol, wonder what happened to him?

Yes I just killed dozens for destroying my squash plant. It did great until they showed up...
I also stomped on hundreds that were swarming my boss' trees. The same bugs sucked the life out of my giant sunflower. They were introduced from Asia.
I had a house centipede crawling on my hand in the middle of the night. It did not live to see the morning.
There are hundreds of dead trees around here from another introduced bug. I also smash them.

Creation is fallen just like people. Unfortunately we have to keep bugs in check sometimes by killing them. I don't like killing anything, but the bugs do great at the expense of so many other beneficial things - gardens, shady trees, sanity...

Rarely, but when I do for some reason I feel bad about it.

There are some microscopic bugs that cannot be handled cuz they move too fast, by the time you can see them it's kind of too late.

If one bug can get in, all the bugs can get in.

Bugs are fine outside, just not inside. Bug predators are welcome.

Meaning furry animals with whiskers that say meow?

Does that include fleas and roaches and dust mites and bed bugs?
I think it is the lonely spider, fly, roach and the rest that are struggling to stay alive. I then become their worst nightmare. Final death. Only because they are weak.
