I am the same way. I hate to kill anything but have been known to smash large spiders because I am so scared ofthem and because these large spiders are known to bit people. butusually I just capture insects inside the house and put them outside

You cannot help but kill some creatures as you go through life,it is inevitable.Just try not to kill any living creature deliberately.

As I am sure you killed the ant unintentionally, I hope you can be a bit easier on yourself. God forgives you, now you have to work on the hard part; forgiving yourself. Truly, it can be hard to forgive if you dwell only on your own desire for satisfaction. So try thinking about How the energy to keep a grudge alive will ultimately drain away your strength; the fact that “evil comes to evil” in the end.
