halacha - If there are ants in the sink on Shabbat, can I use the sink even though they'll drown?


If there are ants (or other creepy-crawlies) in a sink on Shabbat, what is permitted to do with them when using the sink? Here are some things i can think of:



  1. Intentionally avoid pouring water on them

  4. Pour water directly on them to get rid of them


1 is obviously good, but what about 2 and 3?
