The best answer is F, none of the above. First, you have to realize that all bugs weren’t created to bite you or make your life miserable. In fact, most of them would rather be someplace else than in your home. You can simply remove the offending intruder by putting a glass over it, sliding a piece of paper under it, and carrying it outside and releasing it. Then you should try to determine how it got into your home and seal the area so the bug’s friends or relatives can’t come in. Did it come in a window? Did it come in under a door? Did it come in from some crack or crevice in the foundation? Did you carry it in with firewood? Once you determine that, you can fix the situation so there are no future panics, screams or pesticides. If you have to kill the intruder or intruders, make a mixture of 40% water. 40% alcohol and 20% liquid dish soap. This mixture will kill any bugs and not pollute your home. It would be a good idea to try to take a good photo of it so you can get it identified and learn more about it. Bugs weren’t put on the planet to cause panics and screams. That is why we have politicians. If you have any questions on how to control a pest, you can contact me at askthebugman2013@gmail.com
