I'm weird - I apologize to wasps that get on the porch before I
  kill them with poison. I feel bad for them but at the same time,
  well, they've invaded my space and they don't take clues on when
  to leave. Still, I apologize. I know it's a consciousness there.
  But I also know they're a threat and getting stung hurts. So, I
  make myself priority. My potential pain vs their life. I'm not
  crazy about it, but I do it.
