Try these other methods to help the insects:

Watch where you step!: Remember that wherever you trod there could be a multitude of insects crawling, hopping or slithering. Make way for them!

Boycott the Agricultural Industry: As mentioned on the IRA hit list Page, the agricultural industry is the number one killer of insects through the use of pesticides. To show that you will not tolerate this insectiside, boycott them by not purchasing, or consuming any meat, fruits, vegetables, grain, or dairy products....that'll show 'em! (Be sure to check the contents of all processed foods for any of these items...they could be sneaking them into your twinkies.)

Provide a bug garden: Plant a garden for the sole purpose of pansy munching, tomato boring, potato eating, rose nibbling, cabbage chomping insects! They will love you for it! Besides what could be more relaxing than watching a plethora of bugs chomping away on your garden?

Don't clean: Remember...where there is filth there are healthy bugs! Put away those cleaners and leave out those dirty dishes. Forget wiping the counters or sweeping the floors. Imagine the time you will save and the wonderful environment you will create by giving up housecleaning chores.

Don't Drive: Or at least if you do take these simple and inexpensive precautions to prevent injury to any of our insect friends. Apply a thick layer of foam rubber to the grill, headlights and windshield of your car. This will prevent bugs from being splattered on your vehicle, however this only works if you drive very slowly to lessen the impact. Make very sure that you take extreme caution because the foam rubber can severely hamper your ability to see crawling insects.

Eat Bats: Bats contribute to the deaths of untold numbers of insects. By hunting them down and eating them we can help the populations of insects who are preyed upon nightly by these horrible creatures. Besides, by boycotting the agricultural industry we have to eat something.
