Depends on what kind of bug and where I find them.

Spiders I will leave unless they're like a huge spider on the floor, we get Wolf-Spiders and I don't want them biting me or my animals so they'll get escorted out as well as other large spiders.

Flies get squished, sorry flies, but we've had maggots in out trash cause we have a "food" bin and a recycle bin and the "food" bin sits longer as we have much less food waste, so when you add in flies we get maggots and it's really freaking gross, also I don't really like them landing in my food and everything.

Same goes for ants, they get sprayed though, but killed none the less, we spray around the house to prevent them but if they get in they're getting killed soon after, we've had a lot of ant problems before.

Pincher-bugs will only get killed if they're on me, and that usually goes for most bugs, I mean, if you're invading my personal space and I feel a tickle you're getting slapping into yesterday. The other night I had TWO picncher-bugs crawl on me, while I was in bed and I was now for it, they got caught and sent to a watery grave via the toilet.

But pretty much every other bug I'll leave alone unless I know they're stuck and then I escort them out, like when we get big moths in our house, I'll catch them and let them go. We have some really big tree moths and I don't want to leave them inside where the cats will eventually catch and eat them.
 
I have pet insects, I can't kill bugs that are in my house. Except spiders.

My cockroach would be ashamed if I killed his brethren. They aren't the same species, but it's the thought that counts,
right?
 
If they're outside, they live. That's their turf.

If they're inside, they have to go. And unless they're a chill spider or a ladybug, they usually "go" in a cloud of raid.

Are they hissers? I love hissers!
 
It depends, if a spider is anywhere other than my room then it gets to live, if it is in my room then sadly it has a pretty good chance of dying. The only exception is jumping spiders, I won't lay a finger on those even if it finds its way into my room, i keep them captive as a pet.

Flying bugs or any bug(s) that damages my plants will die 100%.
 
I always wanted to have one of those big Japanese fighting beetles, but I've never seen any for sale around here.

I got to hold a tarantula at the pet store, but if I bought her i just know she'd escape somehow and end up lost...

Oh my gosh. I have never heard of someone keeping a roach as a pet.
I saw them kept in a natural history museum though, and they had just molted before I visited. It looked so interesting. Do you ever hold them? Like, molted or with their shell?
 
If they're small and harmless, then I usually just keep them out of my way.

If they're a fly or a cockroach, they have to die...
I would have a rhino beetle as a pet, though. Those things are chill with me.
 
Kill them, especially if they're in my home. I really hate bugs. Especially stinkbugs, house centipedes, and carpet beetles. There's no end to those nasty things!
 
tbh im pretty heartless when it comes to bugs mostly due to fear. spiders, earwigs, anything CREEPY dies immediately. other things ill catch and release but 9/10 its dead.
 
Nobody loves pests. A serious pests problem lead to an unhealthy environment. A few months ago, we faced termite infestation in our home. These wood destroying pests destroyed our wood structure and it was a huge loss to us! Without wasting our time we contacted the recommended pest control termites Davis professionals to help us protect our home from damage. We just wanted them DEAD!! Professionals did a good job for us.
 
All insects and arachnids may live unless they pose a threat to me. Or they're a mosquito. I hate mosquitoes.
 
I hate insects. I hate when they end up floating around in my drink when I?m outside. Seriously, stay away from my drink.
 
Most of the time, I either let them be or catch and release. It's very, very rare I'll kill anything.
 
I don't kill common bugs but when I see a spider or a cockroach or something uncommon I'm like

LOL
 
I'd kill them if I catch them. Pretty much guaranteed. I hate bugs to the point I let my girlfriend handle the job lol
 
I say kill them! Insects/bugs are one of my three fears in life. Ugh.
