Are you sca_ed of wee beasties? If they come in your house do you kill them?
I got the piss taken out of me yesterday for taking a spider down 3 flights of stairs to the garden because people were going to kill it.
Right now though theres a wasp at my window and im not sure what to do with it! |

Kill that little bastard before it attacks, ...and it's got friends you know. It will swarm you with its little bastard pals and not stop stinging until you pass out with the pain. And when they're in you hair and shirt, they have you surrounded.....little fuckers.
Bees are much kinder.   |

A wasp once came into my room, stung me twice then died on my pillow. Wasps are mean forthe sake of being mean 
I love bees though. I could watch them for hours. |

No and no. I can't understand why people are so sca_ed of spiders and other creepy crawlies in this country. It's not like in places like Australia where they're proper dangerous and stuff. |

You can make a natural spray from oils that our 6 legged friends don't like going near. Doesn't harm them and would stop them from coming in at windows etc.
Had to use it as they were setting alarms off in the middle of the night. |

I've got loads of spiders in my house. They don't bother me.
Earwigs I'll stamp without hesitation. Those things are vile.
Anything that may sting or bite me while I'm asleep. Splat. I have an allergy to gnat bites, so those pricks need to go fuck off.
And anything that dive bombs ya while you're minding your own business.... why do they do that?? They need to learn some manners. |

I'm often out getting pics of them, when you see how complex and amazingly designed they are..you might get a better appreciation of them.
Jumping spiders are amazing to watch. |

Huge! They can smash windows to get in! Just kidding. They crawl over the top of sensors so it triggers them that way x |

The only insects I can tolerate are the 'pretty' ones like bees, butterflies and ladybirds.
Flies are just the revolting dirty disgusting things (and maggots  ) and I'm totally petrified of spiders (though I wouldn't kill them because they eat flies). I've had a genuine fear these last few nights of a spider crawling where it shouldn't while I've been sleeping naked without the 'protection' of a sheet ...  |

House spiders (the big ones that run across the floor) we just leave alone.
Web-making spiders get put outside.
All manner of other wee beasties get shown to the monsters before being put outside (and sometimes Googled first if I don't know what they are).
Wasps, bees and the like are all caught with the glass and card approach and popped outside too. |

I'll squash a gnat, midge or mosquito. Wasps, bees, moths, butterflies etc I'll shoo out the window. Crawly things I might sweep away from me, except spiders. If it's a huge spider I get someone to throw it out. |

I'm petrified of spiders, but I won't kill them. I have to remove them safely without harming them.
I'll avoid killing wasps if I can too (spiteful lil shites that they are though)  |

I'm your stalker. I took over from Mike after he fell off his ladder. Something about a spider climbing up it trying to get back in. I dunno. Arachnophobia is a silly thing to have when you're a stalker.  |

"We have a bee's nest in the roof space of our garage, at the moment, obviously don't want to kill them, as they are very important. Any advice? I suppose get the bee catcher in!"
Buy a bee hive, and get someone to move them to it...and you got yourself a new hobby...and honey  |

Actually that sounds great, thing is, they are not honey bees, they look more like a black bee. Just been researching and they all seem to advise to leave alone and they will naturally disappear at end of July. |

I never kill them, even if I don't like them.
I'm actually ok with most of them, wasps however send me into cold sweats. I find a glass, piece of paper and launch the fuckers back outside works best |

I've currently got one of those very loud, doesn't know where it's going so it buzzes round constantly, chubby little flies driving me insane.
Do i kill it or should i just let it happily buzz round for a while.
Seemingly it's forgotten where the door is |

No, never. I evict the creepiest ones carefully because I refuse to kill or be a party to killing anything I'm not going to eat. It's my most strongly held philosophy to live and let live and take only what you need. |

I think all living things are amazing. I just wish some of them would bugger off and be amazing somewhere else!
Flies at the moment are an issue here.
However, I love the Silverfish that lives in my shower room. |

Urrgghh ... they're sinister little buggers waving their antennae about. If I ever spot any in the downstairs loo they get flushed straight away |

It's the tiny little black flies that are the most annoying because they cone in groups.
And silverfish are cool, although they can scare the living hell out me when im sleepy, which makes going to bathroom at night challenging |

I have double standards.
On my 'look after' list are spiders, bees, ladybirds.
On the search and destroy list are wasps and flies.
Having said that, we were in Borneo and there was spider the size of a dinner plate in its web outside our room. I felt less inclined to help him....... |

No they are amazing. One of the oldest groups of invertebrates and only eat a bit of wood/paper (very small amounts).

O revere insects for their success, variety and beauty more than any fear. Many are an essential part of our world and lives, feeding other animals, pollination of plants and crops and many more significant things.
I aim not to harm insects that come inside - I can help relocate them. |

"As the world population rises and land becomes scarce, insects are suggested as a food source as animal grazing space declines. Yum yum "
To be honest, if you'd eat a prawn, cockle, mussel etc. Why not?
They are just as odd and weird to contemplating eating if you never have.
It's just we don't have the tradition of eating insects in most of Europe. |

Yep me too, though all spiders are allowed to stay as they tend to keep flies and such in check.
In fact I like spiders and find most bugs interesting. I used to catch and keep particularly interesting spiders and creepy crawlies caught after my daughter went to bed, to show her in the morning 
I do kill ants...
