“If it’s a scorpion or poisonous spider abandon your home. Never step on it out attempt to kill these peaceful creatures.”
Not sure who offered that advice but I don’t think their home gets as many scorpions as mine does. Step on them BEFORE they get you! Scorpion spray can help but it doesn’t kill them fast.
My point is you’ll hear from all sorts of folks telling about their benefits, v they have to be respected, yadda yadda...
No. Kill it. It wants to kill yo, so don’t feel bad about killing it.
Bees are another thing. I know what they mean to the environment. But they set up a hive on my property and start coming after me I don’t care about “oh, just don’t bother them” apparently my existence bothers them and I control fire at my whim so I win.
