When it's mosquitoes, sorry, it's kill on sight. Flies, I try to chase out the open windows. Stink bugs, I pick them up with a piece of paper and drop them outside because sorry, I can't afford to have an infestation of y'all. And then you have the little pantry moths, I declare holy war on them every year when the weather gets warmer, and will stop at nothing to get rid of them.
If you are in the US and have grey stinkbugs you should kill them on sight, they're an invasive species. Native stinkbugs are slightly smaller and green. I flush every invasive one I can find and over the past four or five years it's really been working. I see more native ones every year now.
Wrt invasive stink bugs, there's so many of them, and they really stink up the place if you kill them. They're terrible for crops, too. I'll flush them in the future.
We get thousands of thoes mf stinkbugs here, and I don't even kill them, they just pile up by the hundreds it's horrible.
Bugs that are causing harm are a different story. You wouldn't kill a fox just for coming across one in the woods but totally would if it was determined to attack you. That's a perfectly reasonable approach, if a raccoon couldn't be shooed away by threats of violence or even the lightest of violence was totally lethal, we'd have a lot more dead raccoons. But yknow bugs are just smaller and easier to kill animals and killing them just cause it's easy is a pretty disgusting common thing to do. I wouldn't say it makes you a fascist but it does mean you're willing to kill something you deem as inferior for no reason and refuse to see that it's a living being with its own stuff going on and whatnot, there is a thread of fascist thought there.
