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

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.

first, we can put them to work building the sphere. second, after bugs are gone, there will be more produce because bugs won't destroy farmers' crops. as a result it will be cheaper and the poor people (who are now less poor because they were paid to build the sphere) can afford the abundance of cheap produce.
There wouldn't be any produce because there would be no bugs to fetilize the crops!
And btw....the bugs are already in giant sphere that WILL eventually be enveloped by the sun.
Problem solved.

But come on....this guy smokes some serious bud.
Exactly!

Why don't you start by getting a certified space suit. You can map out your travels in which you would wear the suit, use a bug vacuum and an industrial can of Raid to kill bugs along the way. Eventually we would have a bug free world and you could say "I did it". This should be treated as more of a mission.
