#insect hate

So fucking hard

To be the person that doesnt hate any animals. To not be the "kill them with fire" type i used to be with spiders. Arachnopbobia? Its fine its just an irrational fear, spiders are still important. Ticks and mosquitos? I despise finding them on me but fine theyre outside, theyre important to the ecosystem. Freeze up around beez and wasps? Just a normal reaction but the pollinators are cool

But Jesus fucking christ I fucking hate ants

This is like the fourth fucking infestation of ants we have fucking dealt with in my god damn life, each one in a different fucking house. Oh just a few coming into my room through my windowsill? Fine we'll block it off and I'll spray vinegar water to kill their scent trails. Not seeing them anymore.

Oh now theres some in the bathroom? Annoying but fine we'll spray something around the outside of the house no problem

But no tonight I go in the fucking cupboard to get the cats their bedtime treats and what greets me? A FUCKTON OF ANTS CRAWLING ALL OVER OUR GOD DAMN PACKAGES OF FOOD.

FUCK ANTS. I don't fucking care anymore fucking kill them with fire but get the FUCK OUTTA MY HOUSE.

I STILL have a vivid memory of the first ant infestation as a kid when my mom was eating chips. Crumbs got on her shirt. Oh wait those weren't crumbs THEY WERE FUCKING ANTS.

Like I'm sorry, ants. Don't fucking care how important you are its on fucking sight get the fuck out of the places I live.

It's 4 AM. Most sane people are asleep. But I'm laying awake reading fucking Animorphs because????

Anyway there's this housefly driving me absolutely up the wall, bouncing around my lamp, attracted to my smartphone screen, spreading who knows what kind of germs around my humble home. And it's been in here for like, 3 days, and no-one has been able to catch, kill, or otherwise remove it.

So at one point it flies away from my lamp and towards my kitchen (this is a bachelor apartment, all one room) and I half-heartedly swing at it, bare-handed, not expecting to catch the little fuck

Smacked him right out of the air. Felt my ring finger make full contact. Little bugger bounced against the ceramic tile, I stunned him. Grabbed a Kleenex and scrambled over to finish the job

I am not usually the bug-disposer in the house and that was a pretty sweet move and no-one was awake to see.
