I'm not taking out my trash every time I eat a banana. Plus some of my pets need fruit (I keep beetles and hissing roaches), so sometimes it's easier to just kill the flies if I see them
Of course. I took the "on sight" less literally, like when you see a thing you hate approaching you, you have a urge to kill it, not just to let it go.
Pharaoh ants: the robot naggers of the ant world. Been dealing with them for 2 years now in this shitty rental apartment, and I'm on the fourth goddamn floor. Bought that yellow bayer maxforce gel bait last week, and got the ants crawling out of an insanely small hole that leads to a mystery space behind my kitchen cabinets. For once its a good thing my shitty family forgot to clean up behind the soap dishes next to the sink, because I got use the baits on them. They love that shit so much, even though there's around two dozen I saw convulsing and dead while clinging to the wall. I've forced myself to realize any ant that eats the bait or touches other ants that ate the bait, are all marked for death, so I don't have to keep killing them. I just gotta ignore their presence around that area, let them crawl around back and forth at the same spots. Having the ants out in plain view like that fucks with me mentally, but I wouldn't be able to bait kill them if they weren't exposed like that. Small blessings. Now I wonder how long I have to feed them the bait droplets on the wall before the queens drop dead. I found out pharaoh ants can cannibalize their dead, so I'm hoping ants dead of the bait will also spread that shit to the other ants that eat them.
the way i see it if youre an animal/insect in my territory (my house) and you get in my way/obstruct my quality of life, and i cant get reasonably get rid of you without killing you, then i kill you. majority of animals do the exact same shit in the wild anyway
Speaking of plants, I hate this shit so much it's unreal. I hate it more than Virginia creeper, and I didn't even think that was possible.
Once established, this plant is impossible to remove without stripping off all of the top soil where it grows. Even then you must be careful to not drop any part of the plant where it could grow roots again before being destroyed.
Whether you cut or pick it, smother or burn it, poison or salt it, it just comes up with a vengeance a few feet away. Literally everything you try do to control it makes it spread further. To add insult to injury, every time you touch it your hands will smell like fish for a while, despite any attempts to wash it off.
Thankfully Houttuynia cordata is not present in my country's red list, I don't know if it's because it has never been introduced or it can't enstablish here.
Water plant nurseries usually sell it as a pond plant so that's pretty concerning.
Last apartment I moved in before having to live in a dorm, this one spider built a web in the corner of of my ceiling above my PC. I let it be because I usually don't give a fuck about animals not actively fucking with me. Anyway, over the course of like three years, it just sat up there and got bigger and fatter and the web got huge. Started small, became one of those big brown ones with a nice big colourful pattern on the ass. At the same time, it also meant that I could sit up all night with open window and play vidya all the way through summer and never be bothered by insects, because my setup would naturally illuminate the ceiling corner where they would all fly up and get rekt by the spider. Without fail whenever I actually noticed them fly infront of my monitor, they would invariably fly up and a minute later I would be able to sit there and watch them get eaten or wrapped up for later. It was fucking prime spider real estate and the best pest control I have ever had. When I had to move, I realized that I would have to remove the web, but apparently my spider had become a mom and I felt even worse about removing her just as she had built a huge egg sack. I tried to catch her to release her in the attic because outside was getting cold. She grabbed her eggs and fucking ran, but I managed to catch her sort of. But then I accidentally dropped her into my box full of shoes and she landed with a really loud thud. I couldn't find her after that so I figured she had hidden in one of my boots and figured it was as good a place as any and that I might as well bring her along. Moved into a cellar for a few months, and about a week or so in, I started to notice there were tiny spiders fucking everyone, so I took that as mission accomplished. That spider had served me well and I had returned the favour. Be good to your spiders anons. This summer with an open window and fucking moths and mosquitos everywhere makes me miss having a spider liket that.
I never really tried identifying it, but I figured it was what we in Denmark call "korsedderkop" or cross spider, usual english name is European Garden Spider according to wikipedia. They're super common here.
One of these, and yeah. Spiders in Denmark are harmless. Almost every animal is, with the sole exception of a type of tick that may or may not infect you with a disease that disables half your body.

yeah we have lots of these spiders in austria as well.. but they are completely harmless..just look kinda disgusting/scary with the cross on the back
With a big wooden mallet
mosquitoes
fruit flies
BMSB
German, American, or smoky brown roaches
What's the point of killing fruit flies? Just throw away the infested fruit and they'll go after it.

Nobody said ticks yet? Seriously?
Killing them "on sight" is dangerous, you need to carefully remove them from your skin first.
Don't want lyme disease!
Of course. I took the "on sight" less literally, like when you see a thing you hate approaching you, you have a urge to kill it, not just to let it go.
Fire is too good for these and my hatred knows no bounds.
Yeah fuck those things. Only animal on my shit list.

toss a few baits onto the ground floor man
Stay out of my house, roach
Tomato hornworms unless I see wasp eggs on them, they get a quarantined plant.
I vacuum all centipedes and millipedes
I kill nothing. Not even mosquitos if I can help it. The closest I come to a visceral reaction towards a living thing is toward these.
What is this?
Pine beetle, they literally murder forests. They're an invasive species and I fucking despise them, I love my conifer trees
>they literally murder forests
They destroy artificial pine monocultures but they're not a real threat for actual wild pines
>they're not a real threat for actual wild pines
>Kills entire forests of wild pines
These are just house spider food
>killing any animal for reasons other then sustenance
You bother me too much i kill you. Simple as
the way i see it if youre an animal/insect in my territory (my house) and you get in my way/obstruct my quality of life, and i cant get reasonably get rid of you without killing you, then i kill you. majority of animals do the exact same shit in the wild anyway
fleas and goats-head weed
>there are people who never had to pick dozens of these cellulose ridden israelites out of their boots
Lmfao
i once had one in my big brand store multigrain bread and i was so high when i bit it i was convinced i had just lost a tooth
damn, nature invented road spikes?
Yes
>TFW when those fucking thorns are my sole reason for airless bike tires
Goats heads might be the most naggerish plant in the world
I step on at least two of those every single day
well plants vs zombies doesn't pull everything out of thin air
More like nature inspired those things.
People in the past used these kinda plants as caltrops
>caltrops
ah yes i knew there was a proper name for them but couldn't remember it
fucking hate these naggers
Roaches.
Holy fuck I hate roaches.
I admire their tenacity, their only crime is existing alongside humanity
This plant is a curse that never ends
The guy who imported the tree of heaven from China needs to be revived so that he can be tortured to death
Speaking of plants, I hate this shit so much it's unreal. I hate it more than Virginia creeper, and I didn't even think that was possible.
Have you tried cooking and eating them?

the vibe
I don't really kill anything "on sight" because I have traps for everything I want dead like flies, mosquitoes, cats, spiders etc.
Being a pitbull should be a bannable offense.
So should falling for reddit memes
Mosquitoes just when I'm trying to sleep
I don't feel entitled to kill any living creature
cats
t. subhuman
he's larping
Based.
My kill count: 6
My car's kill count: 2
Boomers in my village are seething and wondering why their cats keep on disappearing.
fuckin flies
most insects are great but those annoying jackasses make me respect frogs and spiders a lot too

Cats eye spider?

These homies? They're harmless and only hurt bugs
