Dangerous , deadly or painful bugs.
February 11, 2010
I was looking for a way to identify a few bugs in my home. It would be helpful if the search included criteria such as how many legs , wings etc.
Also , I can’t understand why you would include an unnecessary carnage page and not have a page dedicated to which insects known to man actually are dangerous , deadly or have a painful sting or bite even if they are not venomous.
It renders the UC page pointless if you don’t list all the bugs which aren’t unnecessarily killed.
Sure I love living things , but not if they bite or crawl into my ear when I’m sleeping.
So please include a list of those bugs . It’s very hard to find the information elsewhere .

Hi TM,
We just might take you up on this suggestion.  We can call the page Justifiable Homicide.  We would definitely put Argentine Ants and Aphids at the top of the list.  Some creatures like Black Widows might be dangerous, but we could never include them on a Justifiable Insecticide, though they might be sub-categorized on that page.

    What? Aphids? Aphids are cool! Ever tasted one?

    I reckon that probably the only justifiable carnage is when dealing with introduced pest species, or when eating. Mmm…
