 When I went to washroom before bed there was room  full of 🐜. I have a fear of bugs. Wondering how I go there during night with bugs in it.

Hello. Your fears sound quite understandable.

It seems like a fear of creepy-crawlies is quite universal for us, humans. They behave so differently than fur or feather animals, they eat dirt and gunk, they deny human dominance over the planet, and they could survive any radioactive fallout that could wipe out most of the humankind (what seems deeply unfair 😉).

Have you considered investing about 9 $ on a gel poison against bugs? It can be a quick (and effective) physical trick to feel emotionally safer and better. It might also be worth checking before what exact species the intruders are (ants, cockroaches, silverfishes?).

Some religious doctrines claim we should not harm any animals (including bugs), but... Still as soon as I realized that spiders are hunting for blackflies, which can bite and cause allergic reactions, I am on more friendly terms with any spider I can meet in my flat.

I know most people wouldn't harm insects, I'm not most people 😁

I feel your pain.
