    Cover it with burp cloth.

    Push in the edges until it is one big ball.

    Throw it down the steps of your apartment building.

    When your husband comes home, send him downstairs to retrieve the burp cloth.

    Wash the burp cloth.

    Who’s more upset at you, your husband, or the neighbors? (Or the moth?)

    Is this considered tzar baalie chaim? Or since it is bothering you, it isn’t?

    Ask the moth to adopt a kolel

    A can of deodorant. A lighter. Worked for me. Admittedly, it did take about ten minutes, and afterwards the room stank of Lynx. And there was a high risk factor. But, on the plus side, a singed moth.

    I once successfully killed a moth by turning off the light. It had been buzzing around the bulb, and now, since it couldn’t see, it flew touched the bulb and got burnt. I’ve done repeat experiments, though, and didn’t have repeat results.

    Why kill a moth?

    While Torah was cooking her broth,

    she shrieked upon seeing a moth!

    It was quite a quandary,

    until she though of laundry,

    so she smothered it with a burp cloth.

    DY, excellent poem, and I think the moth was most upset.

    Jewish thinker, it was definitely causing me tzaar.

    Rebbyid, my husband said there was no moth inside when he picked up the burp cloth, so it probably wasn’t too badly hurt. Which makes sense because I didn’t crush it, I only wrapped it into a ball.

    jewish thinker,

    as ive stated before the halacha is there’s no tzaar baalei chaim by bugs

    the scientific reason being is that they cannot experience pain (no exoskeleton)

    Also, they aren’t sentient.
