is it safe to say that bugs are the worst thing ever?

Cool
when i was little, i would wish some scientists would build a giant steel sphere, big enough to fit all the bugs in the world in. then after all the bugs were in it, they would shoot it off into space.
as i grew older, i stopped thinking about this idea for a while.
not that i am old, i've been thinking about it again. first there is the logistics of how big it would have to be. i know there are a lot of bugs in the world...trillions probably, but they're also really small for the most part. i think 2 miles in diameter would suffice. then there is the question of where in space we should aim it. the moon would be easy, but it would be a hassle if we were to colonize the moon one day. we'd have to deal with that problem all over again. we could shoot it off into deep space, but what if it were to hit an alien spaceship and they then declared war on us? no good. ultimately, what must be done is to shoot it in to the sun. there it will melt and the bugs inside would get the fiery death they deserve.
there are other questions, like how to lure all the bugs in, but we'll leave that one up to entymologists. they will be paid handsomely for their efforts, because afterward they will be out of a job.

What about the baby bugs that never did anything bad to anyone? Can they stay?
If he gets rid of the bed bugs, who am I going to cuddle with at night?
And your two-mile radius sphere isn't big enough to contain all of the bugs of the world.
