For Pest Control Companies: How to Kill with Compassion (if at all)

 
For Pest Control Companies: How to Kill with Compassion (and in a way that can be done by anyone irrespective of religion)
These words above (in red) are based on the Buddha's advice to "Do good, avoid evil, and purify the mind". I twig it a little bit to make it a bit less religious sounding. In fact, it can be used like a mantra to benefit sentient beings. I was thinking how to advice pest control companies on how to kill with compassion, in a non-religious way. These people who operate pest control companies need not be Buddhists, and they are of various religious or secular background. I thought of these words as above. They can just recite it over their pesticides or chemicals. Hopefully it will benefit the pests that they will be killing. I was thinking that if people need to kill, my advice is to kill with compassion.  But if possible (should there be another way), don't kill.
