1 | should i kill houshold pest | Gen 1:28 | MAMAMETAL | 224162 | ||
what am i supposed to do about the mice and rats that are invading my home. my neighborhood was a quiet and well maintained, consisting mostly of older couples, but the city re-zoned the area resulting in almost every lot for miles around to have at least 1 home built in what was once a back yard, some property around me have 3 homes squeezed onto the property. When it was just us old people here, I feel we all respected each other and our neighborhood, We took the small effort it took to be sure out garbage was confinen to the can and all paid to have the local garbage collector to take it away.. now that the neighborhood is trippled with people alot of theese new ones are not making sure thier garbage is put in a closed container and in some cases the garbage collection has stopped (probably for lack of payment) but the garbage is piled up, overflowing, and scattered ... Now i never had a problem with rats or mice in the 20 years before this re-zoning.. I do what is necessary to maintain the property i own. i think the rats and mice are overflowing from all the garbage left out in the open...What should i do in order to keep my home and property rodent free. Is it right to poisen them? AND WHAT ABOUT THESE FRUIT FLIES THAT WONT GO AWAY, EVEN IF I TOTALLY RID MY KITCHEN OF ANY FRUIT OR FOOD those fruit fkies are pestering me as i sit in a bedroom, totally closed away from the kitchen, the fruit flies are flaunting thier wings.. i am not over run with the fruit flies,, I notice only about 10 in each room BUT THAT IS 10 MORE THAN I CAN STAND !! the rats and mice and the fruit flies make me itch all over, it might be in my head but it is a problem i dont want to learn to live with, the bites and whelts on my skin are real. am i really wrong to kill the invaders? |

Hello mamametal, This is a Study Bible Forum, not and domestic advice forum! Call a Pest Contol specialist! Gen. 1:28 "God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth." (NASB) BradK |

sorry if i mistook this site for somewhere to ask if killing is wrong.. i thought it said somewhere in the bible we are not supposed to kill anything and that would include those things that creepth the earth. I wanted to find out. I dont enjoy killing bugs. or rodents... and if i knew more about the bible i wouldnt need to ask a website, thats why i asked if i should keep with the nontoxic slow method or kill them outright i really do not think a pest control specialist (someone who kills for a living) is the right person to ask if it is right with God to kill bugs and mice. If you think i am foolish to ask about killing stuff then go ahead and judge me as you have, I really thought i was asking a legitimate question that could be answered in the bible, I admit i know little about scripture but I believe when i asked for a everyday worded explaination and the scripture the everyday words were derived from, I am 99.9 percent sure that "CALL A PEST CONTROL SPECIALIST and Gen 1:28 do not have the same message. i say 99.9 because i do not understand what Gen 1:28 is saying. So maybe they do say the same thing. it's been made clear not to ask here | ||||||

Hello mamametal, I'm understanding your dilemma better. However- and I don't mean this in a meanspirited way- there is a point where we need to excercise common sense! Remember, the purpose of the Bible is not to address any and all situations we come across in everyday life! For instance, God doesn't tell us what type of car to drive or where to live, etc. It's also not a manual about pest-control! And... it's not supposed to be! Fortunately, God gave us a mind and the ability to think and reason! Ask yourself, 'what would a normally-prudent person do in such a situation'? Personally, I'd call my local pest control company and let them deal with it:-) I hope this makes sense and helps. BradK |

BradK; Your final response was kind. I believe I have read it all now. Perhaps reminding her that God says in Scripture, we are allowed the killing of animals for food, and is within His will. There are even some placed in Asia that eat all kinds of creatures, some just down right nasty. justme |
