I'm the same way.
I often ask myself, why couldn't I just use the same effort in another manner, and put the creature outside. And I sometimes do this.
The only things I kill without guilt are houseflies, poisonous things, mosquitoes, and other creatures that may be harmful directly or by the spread of disease.
However, to be most effective, stop eating meat as well. The alternatives are much better for you, and in my opinion taste better. I eat two vegetarian burgers nearly every day. I see no good reason for murdering animals since there are alternatives for gaining a protein rich diet.
For every meat product you don't eat, I'm going to eat two, just to maintain balance. KEEP THE SLAUGHTER!
