Some I'm OK with catching and releasing. Some things put me in a panic and my husband has to show me the body before I believe it won't eat my in my sleep. I'm not a fan of bees. I get that honey bees are a precious dying resource, but I really can't handle existing in the same space with them. I leave when it is outdoors, they die when it is indoors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kill-insects-in-your-home#post-1863165 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 13:27:50 +0000 alohaorchid 1863165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only insects I will kill are wasps, and that's because I hate them. I just put everything else outside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kill-insects-in-your-home#post-1863154 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 13:13:40 +0000 chopsuey 1863154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>omg I would not trap and release :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kill-insects-in-your-home#post-1863092 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 12:38:27 +0000 cyndistar3 1863092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If the insect is flying right by the door I will try to shoo them out but I'm no bug wrangler so I certainly kill if they don't cooperate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kill-insects-in-your-home#post-1863082 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 12:26:07 +0000 PurplePumps 1863082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I have no issues with killing insects </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kill-insects-in-your-home#post-1863065 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 12:14:55 +0000 fairy 1863065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Trap &amp; release insects? Hehe I am a bleeding heart but not quite that much! We have Terro traps for the ants, and I will leave small spider webs if they aren't near sleeping areas and have dead ants in them, but any other bugs get killed :x I would just let bees out but my husband HATES bees so if he sees one, I have to kill it :P (he will fumble around with a shoe trying to kill it where I am a one-hit-KO kind of insect killer lol so I do the bee-swatting) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kill-insects-in-your-home#post-1863003 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 11:48:23 +0000 78h2o 1863003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am such a softie. I kill ants, but feel majorly guilty about it. I relocate most everything else. Mosquitos are the only ones I don't feel bad about killing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kill-insects-in-your-home#post-1862998 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 11:46:15 +0000 wonderstruck 1862998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way am I trying to shoo a bee outside unless I think that will be easier than killing it. Death to all of the insects!!! Or the ones in my house, at least. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kill-insects-in-your-home#post-1862984 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 11:36:35 +0000 MrsBrewer 1862984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get the occasional moth in our house, and I always shoo those outside.</p> <p>As for spiders, centipedes, and other creepy crawly bugs, those die! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kill-insects-in-your-home#post-1862879 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 10:43:47 +0000 HLK208 1862879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! But I hate killing bees and spiders...I have some major fears! I usually open the door to let flies out of the house since it's too much work to track them down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kill-insects-in-your-home#post-1862878 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 10:43:31 +0000 Snowdrop 1862878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, if they are flying insects (therefore annoying) I let them out otherwise I just ignore them. I think DH would kill everything though, it annoys me as I don't want spider blood on my wall! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kill-insects-in-your-home#post-1862871 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 10:39:33 +0000 LuLu Mom 1862871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My space, my rules...the bug dies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kill-insects-in-your-home#post-1862869 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 10:38:57 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1862869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Die Bug Die :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kill-insects-in-your-home#post-1862862 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 10:36:40 +0000 teamjse 1862862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kill-insects-in-your-home#post-1862835 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 10:30:28 +0000 Alivoo01 1862835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kill-insects-in-your-home#post-1862801 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 10:17:21 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1862801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely! DH and I argue over who is going to kill the latest bug in our house. Pretty much nothing gets relocated unless it's a ladybug. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kill-insects-in-your-home#post-1862776 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 09:59:20 +0000 Beehive 1862776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For sure, if one gets in it's toast. DS loves finding them on our windows though (on the outside) and looking at them. He sometimes explains that they are "crawling like a baby". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kill-insects-in-your-home#post-1862767 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 09:55:02 +0000 MrsHoneyC 1862767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: your reply was adorable!</p> <p>Depends for me, some things like moths &amp; beetles i will release. Other things like spiders dont last long in a house full of 4 legged furry kitty friends. :) They usually end up as tasty snacks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kill-insects-in-your-home#post-1862761 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 09:53:21 +0000 autumnlove 1862761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: hahah, yeah the hives were outside our windows and front door so i couldn't shoo them out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kill-insects-in-your-home#post-1862753 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 09:51:18 +0000 Synchronicity 1862753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try not to kill anything :/ Spiders generally get moved outside (my grandpa used to tell me over and over how important spiders are, and it stuck with me), and we don't have a lot of other bugs in the house except the occasional fly or mosquito... Those are just left to die on their own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kill-insects-in-your-home#post-1862745 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 09:48:56 +0000 snowjewelz 1862745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If they're by the sliding door to go out I try to shoo them back out, otherwise... Sorry! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kill-insects-in-your-home#post-1862740 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 09:48:06 +0000 lilyofthewest 1862740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spiders get relocated. Things I am too afraid of to kill get ignored until someone else will deal with it. All else gets smushed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kill-insects-in-your-home#post-1862738 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 09:44:43 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1862738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mosquitoes and ants are dead meat! Spiders and the occasional lost butterfly gets escorted to an open window. Bees, hornets or anything flying that stings, either get swatted or let out (because I don't want to get stung). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kill-insects-in-your-home#post-1862733 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 09:42:38 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1862733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep!

Maybe next time! </p>
