Well this is interesting as I have been thinking about this issue for the past few days! I generally try to avoid killing anything. However one of my cats brought fleas into the house recently, so I have been committing mass flea murder. It has to be done but I do feel a bit bad about it. They are just trying to survive after all.
I disagree completely with the statement that insects are just like little robots though. I did an animal communication course last summer (talking telepathically to animals). I was a bit apprehensive about it at first but it really opened my eyes. I try to stay in practise and have had some of my most insightful conversations with insects. I find it is quite easy to persuade insects to walk onto a piece of paper so you can take them outside, or to get a bee or wasp to follow you out the door. You just have to explain to them why they would be better off out there and send a good dose of loving feelings.
Ants don't tend to listen though. Apparently neither do fleas!! But then why would they, I am their food source!
