I would kill stinging insects, although I'd try to get a bee to leave on her own (if possible!). Wasps, mosquitoes, and gnats are all fair game in my home. I also kill fruit flies, because they're so tiny and they can become a real pest, landing on you, flying in your face, the size of little flying specks of dirt. I think wasps show quite a bit of intelligence but I really just hate them. Mosquitoes, gnats, and fruit flies are so small and have such simple nervous systems and such simple behaviours that I'd like to think there's good reason to believe they're not sentient in anyway (and hence there isn't a moral consideration at all).
But flies as in like house flies? Honestly, I try to trap them in a cup and then release them out the window. I do that with pretty much any insects other than the ones listed above.

Of course I would. There's one in my car right now and I'm sure he's going to die because it's 100 degrees outside. If he didn't fly into my car and refuse to come out, I would have helped him. I opened the door to let him fly out but I'm NOT touching him to help.

With gusto!

If it's pestering me or landing on my food I would.

With extreme prejudice. Filthy buggers! Do you know where they're born? Do you know what they eat? If they're in my house they must die.

Squash it like the pest that it is.

Not only hurt it, but kill the bastard too! I give the fly 1 chance only, i open a window, give it a few moments, and if he doesn't make his escape he gets killed.

If it is bugging me....darn right I would.
by Rollie on August 31st, 2009
If it's in my house, it wouldn't feel it. I would swat it so fast there would be no pain.

I've ceased to harm even flys. Once I put a cigarette cherry up close to an ant. I wept and prayed. I've become very pacifistic. Unfortunately, I've still hurt other people.

Na I don't go out of my way to hurt bugs, there is even a little moth just sleeping comfortably on my computer until night time when it will fly around.
by JamesGTFC on August 22nd, 2010
If it happened to be flying in my face. Yes I would ¬¬.
by Marky Mark on August 22nd, 2010
I'm embarrassed to say, I would. Does that make me a bad person? :-(
by Chesl on August 22nd, 2010
He'll yeah!! They're nasty!!
by SilverDeer on August 22nd, 2010

How long will a fly keep alive trapped in your refrigerator with plenty to eat and drink?

A fruit fly landed on my apricot mango yogurt, and I didn't realize it was there until after I put a spoonful in mouth. Perhaps I'll die?

HA! I was wondering when someone would think of the other definition of "fly".
by MvL on August 22nd, 2010
Here's a Cautionary note:
My friend Bill had a ten foot Willy he showed it to the lady next door.
She thought it was a snake,so she hit it with a rake.
And now its only two foot four!
