#dealing with bugs

I'm sick and tired of getting bit every night

Another restless night as my anxiety keeps me up. I hate it here

I have this weird thing where I freak out about bugs and dead animals and stuff when my husband is around, where if he weren’t there I would just deal with the thing and get on with my life. It’s not a conscious decision, either.

Squish the invader a.k.a bug and hide it under a carpet so you don’t have to pick it up and you can forget it ever existed.

[1/3] Hi Vero!:) I have a question that might seem stupid, but since you're vegan too I think you will understand me! So here's my problem: I live in Québec, as you might know it's very cold during winter (which is from late November to, well, we're in March and it's still -10°C!-_-). In summer, when I see a bug in my house, I always take it and put it outside without harm. The thing is I don't know what to do in winter… I mean it's so cold outside the poor bug will freeze to death, but I don’t

[2/3] wanna let them live in the house! It’s gross, even if I let for example, small spiders alive because they eat other bugs, I don’t wanna keep ants and flies… What I do for now, is that I kill them with a tissue, because I think it’s less cruel than putting them outside to freeze to death. I still feel bad every time, especially since I’ve gone vegan. Do you have any alternative for this kind of situation? Any tips, please?

[3/3] Thank you, I love you’re blog and what you’re doing, scrolling down my tumblr and seeing your stuff is one of my motivation! :D I send you best of vibes <3

Hello ladydeadlynightshades ! :) Thank you, you made me smile. You’re so kind :)

It is very nice of you that you want to treat bugs the right way even when you don’t like them that much. I wouldn't worry so much, insects in general, experiment something called: Insect winter ecology which are survival mechanisms. Maybe you can check this guide I have with some tips that can help you to prevent them to enter your home, so that way you don’t have to take them out every time. :)

Bugs invading my space, my reactions:

Wasps: wait for it to land, sneak up to it and grab it by the wings, walking it outdoors, setting it down then quickly running back inside.

Ants: smash the fuck out of them.

Spiders: Pick up with tissue, smash, flush.

Bees: scoop them up slowly, and slowly take them out side, setting them on a plant.

Moths: ignore unless messing with my clothes.

Gnats: squish.

Flies: Smack the shit out of them.

Mosquitoes: Destroy.

Cockroaches: Freak out, scream, grab a glass and trap it, leaving it on the ground for someone else to deal with.
