又四分律云。時諸比丘患蛇入屋。未離欲比丘恐悑。佛言。聽驚。若以筒盛棄之。若以繩繫置地解放。有鼠入屋。作檻盛出棄之。患蠍蜈蚣蚰蜒入屋。若以弊物。若泥團掃帚。盛裹棄之。在外解放。若房舍夜患蝙蝠。晝患燕鳥入。佛言。聽織作籠疏障。若作向櫺子遮。時有老病比丘。拾虱棄地。佛言。不應爾。聽以器盛。若綿拾著中。若虱走出應作筒盛。若虱出筒應作蓋塞（隨其寒暑加以膩食將養之也）。

Furthermore, the Dharmaguptaka Vinaya states: At that time, the monks were troubled by snakes entering their rooms, and monks not yet free from desire were terrified. The Buddha said: 'It is permitted to frighten them away, or catch them in a bamboo tube and discard them, or tie them with a cord, place them on the ground, and release them.' When rats entered a room, they made a cage to take them out and discard them. When troubled by scorpions, centipedes, and millipedes entering the room, they could wrap them in rags, lumps of mud, or a broom, take them out, and release them outside. If rooms were troubled by bats at night or swallows entering by day, the Buddha said: 'It is permitted to weave open-meshed screens to obstruct them, or make window latticework to block them.' At that time, an old and sick monk picked off lice and threw them on the ground. The Buddha said: 'It should not be so. It is permitted to catch them in a vessel, or pick them up with cotton; if the lice crawl out, one should make a tube to hold them; if the lice crawl out of the tube, one should make a lid to stop it.' (Depending on cold or heat, provide greasy food to nurture them.)
