Would you ever hurt a fly?

Yeah I would hurt a fly cause i think they are disgusting

Flies spread disease is the reason?
Humans spread disease...

Hah someone was just good-naturedly making fun of me for this. I was buying surface spray, because the roaches in the kitchen at night are getting ridiculous. They're everywhere. In the cupboards, all over the floor, in the sink, crowding the benches, everywhere. I'm obsessively clean and never leave food out, it's just the season and the city. But I didn't want to kill them, I just wanted them not to come into the kitchen. I figured I'd spray during the day when they weren't in there, then by nightfall, they wouldn't want to come in.
Someone was poking fun, saying I'd be in there giving any roach casualties CPR.
But I took that positively, to mean I'm a nice person who doesn't want to cause suffering to other lifeforms who are just trying to survive same as me.

If I know how to kill it, I would hurt a fly because it annoys me especially when I am eating.

I can't stand flies, I'm a germaphobe and I can't have them flying around my house. Just the noise of them buzzing around I can't take, I give them a chance with the window but if that doesn't work then out comes the swatter. Cockroaches are absolutely disgusting, there are different kinds tho and the American one as well as the Oriental one are more outside ones that are pretty easy to get rid of and avoid while the damned German one is the real evil that inhabits your house and eats your food and is so hard to drive out since they unlike those other roaches carry their eggs with them and eat anything pretty much.

my brother told me that in Vietnam when he was there, they had Asian cockroaches that flew and would also bite.

I wouldn't hurt any insects of any sort.

i tend to catch insects and release them outside. especially spiders, as they eat insects that destroy crops.

smushing bugs is messy. more practical just to catch and place outside.
