It is true that Integrated Pest Management isn't as exciting as hunting them mercilessly as in the Raid ads, but IPM is certainly the RIGHT thing to do. We have to remember that bugs were put here for a reason and have the right to live, even if they're not useful as I believe they ALL are in some way. Let's take roaches as example since they are my favorite. They can help cure cancer, predict hurricanes, heal bone fractures, pollinate plants, and more. If anyone wants more information or my sources, let me know. Plus foggers can devestate them sometimes. My landlord bombed twice in 1988 and I saw hundreds on their backs with their antennae and legs wiggling, looking so helpless and defenseless. NOONE can tell me after seeing that that bugs don't have feelings. That itself should be enough reason to find more humane methods rather than kill, kill, kill EVEN IF THEY WERE'NT ANY GOOD WHICH THEY ARE.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497004104272690197.post-36256825395115952542010-08-18T10:44:21.160-05:002010-08-18T10:44:21.160-05:00Mugsy86

First the commercials had a different affect on me than Mike. I see the bug characters as cute little munchkins trying to make their way in the world and protect theirselves. Granted they do have a naughty way about them, but humans can commit murder and often get off scott free and these cute little bugs get the death penalty ALL THE TIME for bugging people, stealing a little food, spreading a couple germs, etc. It's so unfair! If you want a broader view of this, the link for my site is in the posts above. Further, I have something to say on the reality front about the roaches and the foggers, but I'll give it next time.

Would like to invite folks to check out some cute little stories on my website about four individual Raid bug characters: Pierre, Needles, Muffy and Mugsy. All of them are fairly short. Only the first part of Muffy and Mugsy stories are posted and there are 2 or 3 others to come. I'm sure we humans can all identify with what these four bugs and their friends went through since they are very similar to the problems many of us face. Anyway, please check them out or if someone would like me to repeat them on this site, I could do that too.

Last week I created my own discussion group about them on Flickr called Raid Bug Drama. All my messages until the two yesterday are pretty long. I will re-write them on this site breaking 1 message up into 2 or 3 to make them less time-consuming but also help people get the full picture of the topic.<br />Here’s the link: http://www.flickr.com/groups/1485662@N21/<br />If you want a clearer view of the group’s purpose, read About Raid Bug Drama and maybe my topic Welcome to New Members. Thanks to anyone who’s interested and a bigger thanks to Mike for wanting to help me share my views.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497004104272690197.post-67831440836024028752008-10-27T15:46:00.000-05:002008-10-27T15:46:00.000-05:00Well said, Mike.
