What have you killed so far this summer?

I accidentally killed a Silverfish the other day, I tried to move it but it just fell apart and turned to dust :(

I get these in one small area in my living room... they feel the full force of my feets every time I see them dash across the floor once the light goes on :mad:

Just so that we're all on the same page here:

Dragon Fly:

I doubt OP had a Dragon Fly in their room.

yea I meant daddylong legs :P

I don't know why I said dragonfly, I know what they look like as I used to live near some woods that was infested with them every summer.
 
Mostly flies and a couple of wasps, 6 of the buggers in the kitchen. Trying to spray them with soapy water works wonders then finish them off with kitchen towels so I don't get their guts on my hand.
 
Not me but my mate Umar. He loves birds (the winged feathery type). He has a large aviary in his garden full of exotic birds. Some rats got into his aviary and went on a rampage munching their way through many of his precious hatchlings. He hunted down the rats' lair poured petrol over them all and garnished it with a lit match.

As retribution goes, sending the rats to fiery hell by imolation was probably perfectly justifiable in his eyes, but to me it did seem to be a rather savage act.

I personally try to respect all animals' right to life, with the exception of the slugs who occasionally during the night use my kitchen as a shortcut to god knows where. If I see one it gets a generous spoonful of salt for dinner. No exceptions.

I'm not proud of my actions, but an Englishman's home...etc etc.

Countless slugs, unknown number of flies, 1 bee (sorry bee, thought you were a wasp), 3 wasps, 1 snail & 3 taliban.
 
I haven't killed anything this summer. I threw a woodlouse out a first floor window, however, I'm fairly sure it would have been ok.
 
Ah man slugs, since I've been taking my dog out at night since it's cooler. Don't know how many slugs and snails I've stepped on. Not my fault, its dark!
 
The most pathetic thing I have ever seen was my do gooder vegan step-grandparents chasing a sodding mosquito around their lounge trying desperately to scoop it carefully into their hands to throw back outside with the millions of other mozzys swarming the Scottish summer sky. It took him ages. Just swat the damn thing!

So the dragonfly is "stupid" and "horrible disgusting"? For being unfortunate enough to venture into your house? Close your bloody windows then.
If you hadn't noticed, we do actually share this planet with several other life-forms. They have as much right to life as you do.
Boasting about causing slow, agonising deaths to creatures that have done no harm to you whatsoever is really quite pathetic.

You had better see yourself off then because for every second you are alive you are killing other living organisms.

Lunch wasn't an option- we both still felt too wretched come lunchtime. So upon getting home, at about 10pm, I knocked up the best bangers 'n' mash the world has ever seen.

Just found another victim

A dead spider on my doorstep, must have caught a blast of raid when I opened the door and sprayed around the frame :D

one less house invader tonight
 
We had loads of little ones yesterday. Some weird little thing that I've never seen rather than the usual things like flying ants etc.
They were naff at flying and would just jump instead. I squashed some, the cat ate some (knew he'd come in useful), and the others died overnight. Odd little things.
 
I don't mind most insects or bugs but flies are disgusting.

Had one in the kitchen the other day, really didn't want it flying in the fridge and munching on the food so I grabbed the tea towel and gave it a good smack, it was then dazed and I finished it off by squishing it with a vase.

:( made me sad...

I felt like Neil from the inbetweeners when he kills that fish...

In early summer, one of my cats brought a half dead wood pigeon into the house.

It was clearly a gonner but I managed to save it from being mauled to death by cats at least. At 5am, I took it outside into my back garden and had to try and figure out how to finish the poor thing off.

I ended up caving its head in with a massive concrete block, it seemed the only option I had at the time! It was quick and over instantly, poor guy.

should have left the cats to have their wicked way with the unlucky critter. It's the natural order of things. The pigeon would have understood that.
 
I don't kill pigeons/spiders/flies, i have 2 cats that do it for me which either leave the item headless in the living room, or break the legs of said creepy crawlie and leave it to die of starvation when they get bored.
