    Usually when I am the computer, I find myself pestered by these small organisms they call "insects".
    If they continually persist in annoying me by buzzing around and landing on my desk and presumably ****ting on my possessions such as my monitor, I must admit I do not hesitate in killing these little flying/crawling bastards:mad:

    Do you find yourself hesitant towards mashing these critters into pulp, or do you routinely perform the task lightly even with a nice hint of sadism?
    I believe I am somewhere in the middle :/
    btw, Dont worry, I have included the obligatory Atari Jaguar option.

    I destroy them, I take no pleasure in it though, they disgust me.

    Cockroaches are probably the worst when abroad imo.

    I don't kill small insects, however, I do go for big muthafookin spiders.

    Our infestation of these guys has started early this year. Can get 5 to 6 on a good night.

    I usually only kill wasps. I hate those bastards. Although, there was the big ant-holocaust of '05 there when they infested our house and got destroyed by the white powder of death.


  • Registered Users Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    Yeah, gettin loads of those huge spiders at the moment.

    I tend to only kill flies. If I can catch and banish spiders and wasps, I will.


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,960 ✭✭✭✭Wishbone Ash


    I kill hundreds every day with my car! The evidence is splattered all over the front. :D

    Yea i've seen a few of these around my house aswell, big bast**ds...i generally kill most insects that invade.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,460 ✭✭✭Ishmael


    Don't kill any insects unless they're causing a major problem.

    Although, i do try and catch flies that don't understand that there's a window there. Once caught, they're brought to the nearest spider web and fed to the spider.


  • Registered Users Posts: 26,556 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    try not too, but normally find myself saying "it's coming right for us!" then that keeps the feds off my back :p.

    Little sh*ts.

    I try my best to just put them outside, but when my wife is there and she freaks about there being a spider, I just have to be the big man and murder the defenseless little things:D

    I do kill any wasp that ventures into my house, though. Wasps serve no purpose other than to be a menace to society. Wasps are natures hoodie scumbags!!

    in our office we get the Flies with Rulers. they dont see them coming.
    its like a competition! every now and again one of the girls does it and you just hear the Thud and a big "Eeeuuuurrggghhh!!!!" hehe.

    i'm too chicken to kill spiders but i will if i have to.

    You sound like my dad. "Spiders are good for keeping out Flies." i know which i rather... ugh.


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,960 ✭✭✭✭Wishbone Ash


    I thought this thread was about killing 'insects'. Spiders ain't insects. Insects have 6 legs. ;):)

    I find this funny

    No problem kiiling insects, spiders, rats etc but would just as easily turn around and call people who hunt heartless bastards.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,267 ✭✭✭Exit


    I try not to. Like others have said, I'd try to usher it out of the house before splatting it. And even then, the only ones I would get are wasps and spiders if the missus is around.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,854 ✭✭✭zuutroy


    No, but if I catch that bastard mosquito who's been feasting on zuutroy meat every night for the last month, I'll torture the bastard good and proper.

    My only concern is the effort it would take and the splattery mess it might leave. How can killing an insect/arachnid etc. be wrong??

    I ususally try to kill all insects that get in my way. It serves them right..

    Actually, if I see an earthworm struggling on a footpath I will pick it up and put it in the grass ... weird I know.

    bah i'll only kill an insect if it annoys me or can sting me. My wife hates this, in that she'd rather me kill every creepy creature that decides to make our home theirs.

    I personally won't kill spiders, I like to keep the apartment cool, but this means having the windows open and at night myriads of small flies will come in being attracted to the light. Its satisfying seeing the spider webs filled with these little buggers.

    I also can't stand wasps, hate them with a passion and will take my shoe off and destroy them on sight. That being said I like bees. I'd never kill one of them as they don't seem intent on attacking me like wasps do.

    Oh and I also advocate hunting, eating animals, using animals for sport... etc, so i'm not a hypocrite

    If it's going to be or the insect then the insect is going to get it. I've taken down about 30 mosquitos in the last 2 nights... little fuckers is all they are, had one bite me on the elbow last week :mad:

    I only kill the buggers, if they annoy me which hasn't happened in a while.
