A:

i like greg's opening answer. haha. ;P

any bugs that find their way in (grasshoppers, crickets, bees, wasps, etc.) quickly find their way back OUT via being escorted in a glass or cup. i tend to leave spiders alone unless they're dangling in my face, running across my desk or table in front of me, or on my counters when i'm getting ready to cook.

i've never had to deal with an infestation (roaches, fleas, ants, termites, etc.), so i'm not sure how i'd deal with that.

A:

Depends on what type of "bug". Usually they get a trip outside unless they are poisonous.

NOTE: The bible states that God notices the death of animals even as small as a bird.

I believe being vegan is about never intentionally hurting an animal. Insects are not an exception.

A:

Hate to burst all your bubbles but most spiders you find indoors cannot survive outside so they end up dying anyways.

A:

Sometimes during the summer I get wasp in my place. I have no idea how they get in. When they are trapped against the window I take a glass and cover them then slip a piece of cardboard under the glass and take them outside. It freaks me out!

i put spiders and roaches outside or in the basement part of the complex. my kitties are so good at finding them!! i don't like the attitude that anything that's an inconvenience to us should be killed. but what to do about ANTS?? it's ant season, and i have hundreds already, despite leaving no food out and trying to dry every inch of the counter. i try not to harm them, but they sometimes swarm the unscrubbed cat food can, and they hang out in the sink, so how can i avoid washing them down the drain? if they get bad, i have a hard time stomaching it. it's a dieters dream; believe me you lose your appetite when you share the kitchen with ants :(

(my next project is going to be sealing more places by the windows and sealing around the faucet which they seem to be crawling under for moisture i presume.)

A:

I take them outside.

To kill them seems pointless. I feel like we must share this world with even the smallest.

A:

I almost always take them outside. When we bought our house, though, we found a giant carpenter ant nest in our backyard that the inspector did not notice. I tried repelling them and everything but nothing worked and they began to eat through our porch and we had to kill them. I hated it. But sometimes, life sucks like that.

A:

it matters what they are. if its a wee spider and he's already made his/her web I'll let them stay or find their own way out. same thing with a fly or something. if they are bigger or get annoying I'll kick em out!

A:

Tv and movies say to turn the radio up real loud, cut the net connex, pop the cell batt pack and talk in whispers with the shower running, but for insects I take 'em outside to live long and prosper.
