Guilty... I Used Chemical Weapons to Mercilessly Kill Hundreds.... To Save Me

Hi Sids, I don't know what to say but you should be penalised for it. Small insects also have the right to stay on the earth but they have separate their place and we people have captured their places too and are making their lives miserable. Don't worry at least i am not going to tell it to Menaka Gandhi or she will come to your house and will seal it for killing those innocent ants which may have come to meet you.

Dear Sidhu, This question is in my mind for long time dear brother. Last week I have left some chappatti in a plate closed with another in Kitchen in the morning then left for work, evening I have seen that there are lot of ants in it, you know what I did, I just kept the plate, including the chappati and ants, in the sink and put water in it. After doing the same I asked the question to myself, they are small creatures and killing them mercilessly, have I done a crime? There are several another thoughts came in my mind for justifying my act, but I am sure, I have not done a good thing. Of course those have the right to live like us; their life is also precious for them. We don’t have any right to kill them, like any other animals or human beings. Knowing the same fact very well, I did it, and may do it in future too. I may get the punishment not from the human Court but from the God’s Court.

Should I call PETA then..? but I am guilty of that as well, but I just use simpler method, curry powder. It works.

hi thesids, i guess it is the survival thing that you have in mind. the destroy your property in order to live. and that is not fare. but for other crawling, and disgusting insects, it is a must. cockroaches.. they bring sickness so they need to be exterminated. of course they are better off outside of your home. ann

Yay,I hate cockroaches buddy,don't know why I have a phobia with it,I jump and my hair would stand seeing one of them,oh my! But with ants,especially black ones,I just let them where they are. Well,I only see them in our laundry,lol! Oh! I remember one night,when my baby is asleep,I found few ants roaming in my baby's bed,I had no choice but to get rid of them before they get inside my baby's ears or even bite her. I just let my hands passed them by and they all became flat,hehe! Poor ants! I'm just defending my baby. I think you should do some general cleaning in your home buddy. ants are beginning to make your home their home.

The insect you called ant seems to be white ant,judging by them haveing eaten away your C key.Over here people are scared at the mention of white ant.I see no reason why some may sue you.Do you and the ants, cockroaches,lizards ,etc.have to coexist peacefully?

Hi there, Great, humorous, witty post. :) I too have three different types of ants stealing every kind of nourishment I have here in my place. The red ones eat at the protein-rich foodstuff like meat, cheese, and the stuff we eat as meals, like rice. They even go after my powdered milk! The black ones are after my sugar, sugary drinks, bread and other sweet stuff. And lastly, the tiny, slow-moving brown ones are constantly, even regularly found floating in colonies in my COVERED mock-Starbucks glass (porcelain and comes with a rubber cover with a hole in it, but looks exactly like a Starbucks to-go paper cup). I guess they go for the water through the hole in the lid. There's this ant bait liquid that I buy; I read that its poison is actually borax, then it was mixed with liquid sugar or something. One good thing about ant bait as opposed to dealing with them critters only when they've invaded your space is that the ant bait gets carried back to the ants' nest and kills the whole colony. I dropped off on filling up my ant bait "stations" so the ants kept coming. Maybe I should be a little less lazy and keep up the ant "feeding" till they're all gone, no? Good on ya for getting rid of those pests! :D

I am on your side, thesids. Your discussion is very clever. Atleast you have a sense or humor about the whole situation. We have a few starting to come in the house. I shall use your method when it becomes a disaster in here. About 2 years ago we had to call a pest control company to help move them out of the house or better yet give them a place to go rest in peace! And yes, we humans have rights and need to control our safe haven from those little buggers.

You mean to tell me you were ill and you didn't tell me?! I'm angry! I'm glad you are feeling better! as for the ants, you did what you Needed to do. It is your house Not theirs. Anyone who does not see it this way should take a flying F2ck at a rolling donut! No one mistreats my Bhai in my presence!

Hi the Sids so you killed[hundreds witn weapons of mass destruction good thing Bush is no longer President or he would be ordering ths armed forces out after you .lol lol ohI doubt if anone will be coming up to sue you. We used borax and laid a trail around where their path as it does something to them, a t least they will not walk across the stuff. I doubt very much it they have an league to protect the little nuisances myself.

Ants are the main resources of the earth. Thanks to them they keep the flow of the cycle of life of all on this planet. They maintain the grounds. With that said, they also produce a lot! That does not give an excuse to kill them but if they are making you miserable, and it was out of self defense, perhaps your sentence will be short.

Dear friend, This post reminds me of a time, a few months ago, when I was talking to my mother over the wireless phone. I went to the kitchen to prepare coffee with the other hand and I knew that I had a treat somewhere as Leticia, my helper, had made pankakes and left one for the next day (she doesn´t come every day). So, as I was talking, I saw an ant. I killed it with my finfer, not thinking about it anymore. I kept on talking and saw another one. Then another and another. I hung the phone and started following them. My pankakes was where I keep the dishes. It was black! I had to grab it quickly and pour water over it bebore throwing it away. I followed the culprit´s path and discovered where they came from. Even though I had told them in several languages that the garden was theirs and the house was mine, they traspassed. So I threw a chemical weapon in the place where they were in the house and boiled a kettle of water to pour at the hole outside. They got the idea. It was a battle, not the end of the war. But for the rest of Summer, they undertood the boundaries of our territories. Hot water is wonderful at places where it does not harm anything else. And you don´t have to destruct paths (other soldiers will fill the gap); look closely and discover where they live. I´m an activist. But charity begins at home.

for those belonging to paws or peta i think they would really protest the way you eliminate those poor insects. some animal activist find it horrible to kill insects but instead they just spray non-harmful chemicals to drive them away and not to kill them so they just transfer to another territory. though, you reason s that those insects almost invade you home and you only do such things to clean up your home.

Hi thesids, Ants are the guests in summer for our house (especially in my kitchen) and I believe in ‘aditi devo bhava’ (guest is god) and I treat them well. Did you get it right? I put some sugar and they just eat it and vanish… well I actually don’t know if they eat the sugar or not but for sure, they just vanish. So I didn’t have to fight them or kill them….. Hope the chemical smell is off and you are feeling good.... Take care and have a nice time.

Boy oh boy... Your C keypad is being eaten too? That is nasty i guess they are comitting a Tough war hekekeke. .. My hubby is a Rentokil officer- Rent to kill It is a pest control company which dealing with what you just done dont wory...he is in holiday this weekend...

Hi thesids! I thought we had sent all those wonderful ants to my previous professor...we must have forgotten the ones at your dad's house. I hate that I am so late in answering your post. I hope that you are feeling better now.

Hiya thesids, Me I am no one to say what is right or wrong in the sense of doing away with those kind of insects. They certainly can be troublesome yes. If you needed to get rid of them and they did not want to get your message well that´s it then away with them. We have lots of those awful flies here in Summer and what I use is Pine disinfectant on the Porch outside and then round and over some parts of the Garden in the back. Of course I water the Pine disinfectant down but the smell of it does keep them away for a good many hours and that way I do not have to try and shoo them out of the house so much or kill the really persistant ones if I can help it. They hate the smell of Pine and Bleach but I opt for Pine because I have a Dog too so they stop annoying him as well. It´s not infallible but it does work to a point and also the wasps stay away as well much to my joy and the mosquitos they stay at the end of the Garden. Like to add that I don´t enjoy killing them either but fly sprays are useless against these flies so out comes the Pine Disinfectant they hate the smell you see. xxx

You would not have had only activists to sue you if you had killed an human. I have no problem with ants, but there is a lot of flies this spring, and I also use chemical weapons to get rid of them. They are perhaps protected, but not inside my home.

I am going to accuse you of genocide hahahaha! I would have done the same thing. I can't stand ants especially red ones as their bite sting and i get allergies from them too. May God forgive you for what you did!

I haven't given that much thought. But I think ants don't have rights whenever they come face to face with humans. On the other hand, we humans have the option of exterminating them at our pleasure or just ignore them as they go about their daily routine of picking up our bread crumbs or any food leftovers they can store for the rainy days. I do still need to qualify that though, if it's red ants, I won't even give it much thought, I'll just kill them any way I can. Cheers!
