Great story, Monica.
This question comes up now and again, and here's how I see it. We do our best to respect and honor life, all life. But we're not perfect and there are times when we have to make life and death decisions. Not long ago I had to decide whether or not to take my Mother off life-support.... All I can say is, we just need to do our best in the situation we find ourselves - if we choose to eradicate a colony of insects, then do so consciously and ask forgiveness for your behavior. God understands these things and our karma is less if we do these things consciously, with love.
