    The rule of thumb is simply, don’t bother it, and it won’t bother you. I don’t bother killing insects unless there’s a possibility it can infect us with something. For example ticks, I show no mercy. If I see one on my property or in my home, it’s dead.

      Another example, mosquitoes, they need to go extinct and all burn in hell. That and also bed bugs, fuck them too.

      I also wish ants were not that invasive, I love them but hell they can be annoying.

          They’re non-aggressive and avoid humans, but there’s always the risk they’ll get startled and bite in self-defense.

            Exactly right. They could be on your bed while you’re asleep… you roll over onto them or make a movement and bam… next thing you know you’re waking up in excruciating pain. And would suck if you can’t find what bit you… if I can’t find it and it looks pretty bad (worst than a bee or wasp sting), I’m more than likely going to the hospital.
