Seems like a lot of effort to me. They are pretty lazy bugs. When I find one I pick it up with a tissue and flick it out the window. They are big and dense enough that you can send them really far away from the house.
- culot 9y agoI live in an apartment and my windows don't open like that -- tightly-affixed screens behind each window -- so the drowning method has indeed been my best weapon, aside from sealing cracks where they congregate. I don't want any of them to live, either. At their worst, before I started caulking their hidey-holes, I would have to kill 20-30 a day. They may be lazy, but they flock to any heat and/or light sources, soaring down to disrupt all of my waking-time activities. I would literally have little reprieve from them swooping down on me while working on computer, watching TV, reading a book. I sure as hell do not want any of them to live: every one must perish, none shall pass. They are just going to starve to death inside my apartment anyway, so surely I am doing them a kindness by drowning them in a vat of soapy death.
- whalesalad 9y agoI want them dead. It's very rewarding to dump out 50-100 dead bugs into the trash knowing they won't be reproducing.
- ams6110 9y agoYeah honestly that's like scooping a bucket of water out of the Mississippi River and thinking you're helping prevent a spring flood. But I understand the satisfaction anyway.
