I know this probably sounds silly, but I ask it in all seriousness, simply because I want to know.

How do Buddhists get rid of bugs, pests & other vermin that get into one's home, in keeping with the idea of not harming? Is it considered more harmful to allow bugs/pests/vermin to go unchecked in one's habitation, making it all right to kill them? Or do you use other means of controlling pests?

Thanks.
