As a result, we've decimated all insect populations as collateral damage, severely damaging our own habitat, environment, and ecosystem, and again, poisoning ourselves in the process. Because... Everyone eats insects, and once there are no insects, there's nothing for them to eat!"
I kindly invite you to rent a room at the shittiest motel in town and learn to live and let live with bed bugs.

I don't know enough about their role in the ecosystem to know whether it's okay to wipe them out, but considering the number of human lives they claim every year through spreading disease I'd happily go that route myself.

- Kaiyou 7y agoAs far as I know birds eat them. A lot. But then again, birds eat other stuff, too.
- tatami 7y agoI could live with them, they should just come down and take my blood. But all they do is buzzing around my head when I try to sleep!
