Do you kill bugs?
Advertisements [?]
I try not to when it is at all possible. Scoop them into a cup, cover with magazine, walk outside and release. Bugs that I have no tolerance for however are the following:

1.) Cockroaches, you must eliminate them or they will take over
2.) Fleas, they bite, and leave nasty welts.
3.) Mosquitoes, they bite
4.) Flies, they are filthy and spread their maggots all over the garbage if not taken out

Those are pretty much the only bugs that I will kill on contact. I don't have a problem with spiders although technically not a bug, I find them to be beneficial, crickets are O.K., I catch and release them as well. Bees and wasp I don't have a problem with because I am not allergic to their stings and they pretty much mind their own business if you don't bother them.
