“It’s a VARMINT, preying on your food!
Does that inspire an attitude?”
I will definitely kill it/them but I’m not using my finger/hand/arm/leg, to do it. Maybe a squirt of soapy water would do it. I could knock it/them off into a cup, then kill it/them, not with my finger/hand/arm/leg, however.
I was squimish my first year. Coming across a Mormon cricket grub, (size and thickness of pinkie and white/clearish ugly thing) had me using gloves and can of soapy water. By the 2nd year of growing our food, I was grabbing grasshoppers, ugly bugs that were rather “filled” and squashing bare-handed. Our garden feeds us and I can and dehydrate most of it, sharing the bulk with my daughter’s family. No bug is taking food from my grand boys mouths! (grin).
