    I guess you could try breaking it's spirit by verbal abuse...

    Calling your neighbor over to do it for you. Works for me.

    If he's not available, I suck them up with the vacuum cleaner.

    Oh, and absent bug spray, automotive brake parts cleaner does an excellent job.

    pick up a can of super cool at any radio shack or electronics supply store.its a freon spray that chills components to minus 54 degrees and leaves no mess or residue.its only 5 or 6 bucks and it will zapp them dead,then just scoop them up with a piece of paper and flush them.

    I'm sorry but there is no way to kill anything without physically killing it. Death is a physical condition, no way around that.

    If you did not mean it the way it reads, please rephrase the question and try again.

    Thanks

    Hair spray. That's my weapon of choice. =)

    Water.
    Covering it.

    Or just putting it outside and let it be free.

    Is another way to say it, how could it die without a trmatic event? like other than to crush it, boil it, spray it, toss it, drown it, burn it, or other wise due to an intentional or accedental action? hmmmmmmmmmmmm

    Die of old age?

    catch it with toilet paper or a paper towel & toss it out the window. Or bathroom cleaner works for me everytime I see the critters in the bathroom. Foam it up & wash it down the drain.

    When I said physically, I meant actually touching it.

    G'day yoyoyoyoyo,

    Thank you for your question.

    Spray would be an option as would be a rolled up newspaper. If you don't want to kill it, get a brush and dustpan and take it outside which is what I normally do.

    Regards
