How do vegan households deal with pests such as houseflies, mosquitoes, and cockroaches?

Catch and release.

@robtherunt Release to where? Would that not be equivalent to killing them if they are released into an environment that is less suitable than the vegan household? Conversely, if they were released into a suitable environment, would that not cause another pest infestation?

@cathill @robtherunt These belong outside, so open the window or door and let them help themselves out or catch & release outside. This is not your problem anymore when they are outside. They are not your pets.

Agreed. As an example, woodlice will not thrive in my house as they require dark moist decaying vegetation to survive. I don’t have that habitat in my house (except maybe in plant pots). So the two I found in my house the other day were caught and released in the garden in a little dark corner.

Although, I do tolerate spiders for a while as they keep flies under control 😁
