Sad that people enjoy a thread about killing creatures. And torturing them at that.
You should read this morning's headlines.

This could be a whole new thing
Definitely not! The bigger the cloud, the bigger the swarm around here.
This thread is just too funny. To all the people who said what I did was rude, I was going to kill him anyway but I didn't, I just decided to share my PV with him and since he survived I let him live. Same principal as if you found ants in your pantry, are you going to scoop them all up and bring them out side or grab a shoe and some raid.
Yeah, I know bugs have their place in the ecosystem (other than fleas... no idea what purpose they serve... karma, maybe), but if they're in my house, they are fair game, and will soon be DEAD bugs. Moths eat holes in your clothes, and their larva attack plants. The only good moth is a dead moth!!!

The wife and I have a pact with the bugs around here. Don't bite us and we won't squish you.
When I used to smoke it would help keep the bugs away when we'd do some front porch sitting. Now I need to buy shares in Off...
Awwww I love bugs, moths especially. There are some really cool/pretty ones, some I even like better than butterflies! Only things I'd kill are ants if there are tons, and those little centipedes cause they run too fast to take them outside. But I don't think vapor/nic would hurt them, would it? Maybe, tobacco is used as an insecticide. My friend and blew some at some grasshoppers and they seemed to like it haha.
I'm sitting here enjoying the sound of the crickets and watching my show and a moth managed to make it in my mancave. It was flying around my desk in front of me so I threw a huge cloud at it, it then landed and was walking around so I decided to re drip and blow through my drip tip so a cloud of non inhaled vapor would wisp around it, and what do you know, he stopped moving. I think I just found my new bug zapper. I think I need to go to sleep.
Edit: after some time has passes he is back alive.
Typical nic buzz
I have boundaries even with insects. If they dare to come into my living area, they're doomed. I saw a spider creeping up a wall in my living room yesterday, took my shoe and splat it quickly. I am humane, the little sucker didn't see it coming and it was quick.
I'm one of those people that don't assign human qualities to insects.

I've previously done this when I first got my MVP, it seemed to calm spiders down really quickly, not much more than that though.
Nice... I haven't made a coil that can make a good enough cloud to sleep-mode a moth yet. I'll have to get on that when the new mod arrives.

Did you pass through Colorado when you got that juice?
Aw, that's mean. I just sprinkle some cinnamon where they've been hanging around. No body count, but they quickly go away. Doesn't smell bad either.
Around here, spiders get a pass, except black widows and daddy long legs. Almost anything that eats bugs isn't considered a bug.
We have these other little villains down here, called "Brown Recluses"... if they bite you, you get that "skin eating" infection, or whatever it is; their venom kills the tissue it infects, and it spreads. And they're fast little buggers, they're also sometimes called "Brown Racers."
Because of them, and also black widows, no spiders in the house get a pass. I'll give other spiders a pass *out in the garden where they belong* (THEIR house) but not in MY house. Same for stinging things; outdoors, they're fine, and most of them won't bother you if you don't bother them -- except yellowjackets! GAWD I hate them! -- but the only ones that might get a pass in the house, to be escorted out if I can catch them, are bees; anything else, indoors, is fair game for the slayer (my husband) with the swatter.

We don't have any dangerous spiders up here and I never kill them in the house, though my dog does get them if they venture into her snout space. Yellowjackets OTOH can be dangerous.
We have a patch of land between our house and a creek out back that is municipal land but I scythe the grass and weeds a few times a summer so we don't lose sight of the creek. Couple of years back there must have been a yellowjacket nest on the ground that I disturbed. I got stung once and backed off for a few minutes. Didn't see any more and thought it must have just been one of them. A couple of minutes later I was swarmed and they were stinging me as best they could. I got 60' away to the back yard as quick as I could and they followed me, still stinging. I had to kill them to get them to stop. Luckily I had on gloves and a hat which really helped.
I think I got stung nine or ten times. I got the phone and sat down for a half hour just in case I reacted and had to call 911. I was fine but I'm more careful now when I work back there and I know where there's one there are probably going to be more.
