You find an insect in your home, what do you do?

[ImSparkly]

Leave it alone

Kill it

Relocate it somewhere, like outside

Burn the house down

Something else?

I used to leave them alone if they were crickets and spiders because I’m not scared of them.. there’s others I do kill for sure!
but now after I see the mistake that the house has become almost infested with crickets and spiders, I am now currently killing them on sight!!
they even fall out of my ceiling lights
for being nice I created this nasty mess.
I always apologize for killing them.
if they are near a door I try to get them out but there are so many of them now that I really just want to kill them all without thinking.
gross!

I kill most of them but with spiders and crickets I'll put them back outside

[NamerOfStars]

Barring some odd circumstance, kill it. I don't like invaders in my house. Bear in mind that that's insects, though; spiders are a different story. Spiders come in to kill the insects; I have no problem with them, and usually won't go any further than moving them out of my footpaths.

If I am close to a door leading outside, I will relocate out of my house. Otherwise, I kill it if it a non-house centipede bug. I leave house centipedes alive because 1) they help you by killing other bugs, and; 2) they scurry around to quickly to kill.

[Twinrova]

too quickly*

[Don-_-Don]

If it's big then I'll most likely kill it, but if it's small them I'm more likely to leave it alone.

If I'm already in a bad mood then I will kill it by default.

Sometimes when leave it alone I would think: "I'll spare your life on a whim."

Kinda fucked up, but whatever.

[cheapshotbob]

it would be my pet :)

its an arachnid lol

[HungLikeAHorsefly]

Depends. If it's a spider or house centipede, I normally leave it alone even though I have a *strong* desire to kill it. I've heard they're beneficial in homes. Everything else dies.

Leave them alone or relocate them. Only mosquitoes, ticks, and other parasitic insects directly attacking me get clapped up.

[OfDeath]

If it is just a harmless insect or arachnid, I just put it outside but if it is a deadly spider like a funnel web which could kill me, I catch it and then call a guy to come and get it because they can use them to make antivenom.

[jenna92]

Depends, usually I'll just catch it and put it outside 😁😁😁

[roody]

name it and then kill it.
so far I've only had a Gary in my apartment :)

[worldscolide]

depends on what it is.. If its a spider, and its not where it will hurt anyone, i leave it alone.. If its anything dangerous it dies.. If its anything disgusting it dies.

[Marilynjuana]

Throw the whole house away.
Kidding, I might be scared shitless but I never kill anything :c

[nettle]

Flies need to go. But I do leave the spiders alone for the most part.

[Not_Average]

Typically try to lead it out the door. If it refuses, it gets squashed and flushed down the toilet.

[Regmorus]

Depends on the insect. Some I kill. Some I let out into the freedom of outside the house. Some I let alone.

[HOAAH]

Lol i chose burn the house down but i would make my 6 year old daughter catch it and have my husband throw it out

[jennifer_bloom]

I hate killing instincts but I need to protect my home from germs

[mrgspoter]

I don't really care too much, probably throw it outside

[Redstang88]

Spiders I’ll leave alone or move, most other generic creepy crawlies get squished

[Anonymous]

Kill it. So the home entering gene is removed from the gene pool for that species.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

I love your poll choices

[ImSparkly]

What did you vote for?

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Burn down the house. Because I thought it was funny

[pigoat]

Kill anything invading my home

[jessicarosen]

Relocate them outside is my preference.
