How could we send the poor insect away hungry when it is hungry and has come to this restaurant of ours? It is not right to let it go hungry. You will not have such strength of non-violence. Therefore I ask you to simply catch it and put it outside. At least you can get some peace of mind knowing that it is not in your bed.

Nature's law is such that even if you were to throw out a hundred thousand bedbugs, if tonight only seven of them were to bite you, then seven will not leave without finishing their task. Even if you were to kill them, seven bedbugs would still bite you, whether you throw them far away from your home or you do nothing. They will bite you regardless of what you do.

That is why I do not put up any resistance. I allow them to bite me when I am awake, or else they would bite me in my sleep. At least they do not bring containers to carry away extra food with them. All they
