I take it outside if it doesn't fly, because I'm a dirty hippie like that.

If it's one of those annoying flying ones, I wave it away until it finds a new room to bother.

But if its on the monitor I'll flick it. No use making my monitor dirty with bug guts.

I'll either take it outside or leave it to it's own devices. If it's flying around I'll wave it away.
2005-08-23, 4:21 PM #9
I take it outside if I can be bothered, otherwise I'll ignore it if its in an ignorable area.
Otherwise I'll move it.

Oh, but if it looks like its poisonus it dies.

Or flick. Flicky flicky.

If its a ladybird, fine, it goes outside. I can pick up ladybirds no problem. If its a beetle, it gets picked up on a piece of card or something. If its a moth, or anything else flying about, it gets squashed at the first available opportunity, or burnt with my halogen desk lamp.

And if its a spider? It DIES, no matter what.

Usually it's a good flick, but if it's a lady bug, I squish it with something hard. Oh how I hate those things.

I play with it. Unless it's like a roach or spider then it's dead ASAP.

Yes. If there is one bug, THERE MUST BE MORE.

It has a good chance of getting squished. I usually feel some compassion for ladybugs and caterpillars, but that's it.

If it's a beer bug, I look for others. If you put them all under a bottlecap, they eventually all move in the same direction, and you can see it go across the table. Incredibly cool.

A mouse has run across my keyboard before - I was kinda taken aback! :eek:

I eventually managed to trap the darn thing, and threw it out my door at mach 5 into the bushes. :o

If I have a bong nearby, I grab it, and proceed to let the bug party like it's 1969

Something tells me the bug would have a hard time hitting off a few inch wide glass/plastic/wtfever bong. :p

Not to mention how's it gonna hold the little hole under the bowl? (the name escapes me at the moment. Shows you how long it's been since I've smoked.)

I try to get it to follow my mouse pointer around. No luck so far (though my cat will do it). Otherwise I squish it in whatever manner seems most appropriate.

I find killing them to be the most appropriate manner to try to redirect their evolution so that they would avoid invading indoors.

if it's a skeeter eater I grab it out of the air and crush it in my palm.

lady bug = take it outside

moth = wave it away

mosquito = it dies

spider = it dies

fly = it dies

cockroach = it dies

beetle = it dies

ant = it dies

wasp = it dies the most horrible death imaginable... (and I have a pretty good imagination ;) )

I'll probably try to catch it in a cup, pringles can, discarded crisp packet, etc. and let it go out me window. Hitting things makes a mess.

I'm a wuss. :(

If its a spider it dies unless it can evade me, in which case as long as its not near me I'll let it live.

Little flys I squish in my hands (give it a clap ;) ), other flying insects get hit with whatever is available or chased outside.

Anything else is simple killed.
