Do you kill moths?

[666]

I think the last one I fucked up was when it fell into an uplighter in my lounge and frazzled. I ended up inhaling the smoke.

Reminds me of one time when I was smoking weed in the woods and a mosquito flew into the bowl as i was lighting it.. I smoked the rest of that bowl mosquito included.

Spiders and moths gets a pass.

I'd let spiders live if they didn't crawl so close to my head

That's an automatic deal breaker

It's kinda interesting how every other bug Is an enemy. House Flys, mosquitos, fruit flies.

They all must die.

But when moths come around, we just let them chill, fly around and don't even mess with them.

Like, we just accept their presence.

I usually yell, "die" while killing moths. All bugs are fair game.

Except spiders. I let spiders live half the time because my wife thinks they're good. I don't believe the myth though.

I was under the impression they spray out some sort of moth dust, so tend to stay away.

I give my wife a minute or two to succeed in her catch and release program she does with any bug in the house using a cup. If I'm home alone, it's dead. But I've had a few strange things come in the house because my dumb wife and dumb daughter have a dumb argument with one of them holding the screen door wide open in the middle of the summer with the AC on.

There was one flying around my living room one day while I was getting stoned. It got stoned as well and landed on the carpet. I took it out on the porch and after like 30 seconds it sobered up and flew off.

Speak for yourself, I usually kill moths on sight. I have no idea if they actually would leg eggs that would hatch into larvae that fucks with clothes and wool etc, but I’m not going to let them try. But far worse, are the moths that lay eggs in the grass that become sod worms. Those fuckers will mess up your lawn bad. I think they really kicked my lawn’s ass in the summer of 2015. I hate them.

Known for being a nuisance on home lawns, they also plague golf course greens, cemeteries, and other areas commonly exposed to sunlight. Learn more.

Not all moths are friends. The ones that pollinate flowers yes. Not the wool moths and pantry moths. Those are smaller and more boring, not like the big boys who enter the house accidentally.

You just reminded me

The biggest moth I ever seen flew in my livingroom a few years ago. I thought it was a bat. My cat was going nuts trying to catch it.

I grabbed an empty 2 liter Cola bottle. Ran in the livingroom and started swinging. Me and my cat was trying to get this thing.

I saw the lights reflecting off it's eyes like a cat as it was coming at me. I hit him like twice and he would fall, get up, and start flying around.. I finally nailed him good. Saw it was a moth the size of my hand. I grabbed my sweater, picked him up, threw him outside, and he flew away..

It was almost like he gave up and reconciled he was going to die. I thought he was just hurt but when I set him free, he flew perfectly away.

The only thing spiders are good for is killing other bugs.

 

[Streeter]

I might let a few spiders stay but most i kill. The best bugs are centipedes they are literally bug assassin's n slaughter all other bigs on site

 

[Blayt7hh]

No but my cat sure as shit does. He can’t abide their existence

 

[tgv976]

Nah. Only bugs I have a vendetta with are mosquitoes, horseflies, and gnats. A moth I'm gonna let out the window unless it's an infestation then I'd have to go into genocide mode.

 

[shunyata]

Bag worms that turn into moths I toss out. Moths too must go.

Yeah the Indian Meal Moth is kill on sight status for me.

Larval or adult, needs to be eradicated quickly.

 

[boingyman]

Growing up my mom and Grandma use to always say when you see a moth at home it's a relative (who passed away) that is visiting. That's so engrained into me that I just can't and is one of the few superstitions that I want to believe.

 

[Mock Artwork]

Yeah, no. A giant moth once had something to do with bringing a bridge down where I live. So, yeah, no.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

No they are harmless.

 

[Slapjit]

Something like this happened to me when I was living in the UK, except it was something called a Cockchafer. It was like 2am and this thing flew into my living room and started smashing into stuff. For the UK, it was massive. I thought we'd sent all of our dangerous creatures to Australia so I wasn't ready for this monster. I ended up in my kitchen hiding from it and looking for something I could use as a weapon, in the end I settled on a shoe. I could hear it in the living room because every time it hit something there was a loud thud

I opened the door and went into the living room for the showdown, and I wound up throwing the shoe at it before retreating back into the kitchen but then luckily it just flew back out of the window and the chaos stopped

Look how evil these things look

When i was a kid i had a fascination with ants and i would find other bugs and put them on the ants nest, let them run and then keep pushing them back on the nest until ants would come out, swarm them and kill them.

I used to go in to our garage and find these pretty big moths that lived in there and brush their wings so they could not fly and put them on the ants nest. It was like watch Gulliver with the Lilliputians.

A handful of ants would leap on the much bigger moth and he would drag them away. I would push him back. Eventually he would be overwhelmed as ants grabbed each leg and flatten him out and kill him. As they died their giant tongue would roll out and the ants would grab and stretch that out too. Then the ants would eat all of him but his wings, and body cavity shell and part of his skull.

And yes... as an adult i provided the story line for Dexter Season 1.
