no snakes in the grass cause i mowed it

If it's something like a fly or a cockroach (thankfully I don't recall seeing the latter here much at all), they're dead. Especially the flies, but it's annoying because what I get are fruit flies and those seem to be a pain to get rid of. I mean, I could just give up fruit and not have to deal with them at all, but forget that!

Anything else I'll catch and release. Even spiders. I've done that to plenty of spiders, though I've stopped doing even that as much in recent years because apparently that's still not the best option for what I want to accomplish (good chances are it's a spider that's adapted to living in human places and can't survive long out in the wild anyway - I don't want to kill them, I just want them out of my way!). Ideally I'll just let the spider be, and let it do its own thing in a corner while it avoids me.

Although bees and wasps...oh I'll try to put them outside for sure. Usually by opening a door and getting something to hide behind (a broom comes to mind), and making vague motions in the direction of said bee while I am halfway across the room in the hopes it gets the hint. Please bee, please.
 
If it's a bug, spider or a bee I will usually try and kill it. Especially if it's a wasp because the cats will try and get it and I don't want them getting stung.

For several years though we had to deal with a (Zu)bat problem. Those I would throw a towel over and put back outside. I would never kill one of those. On one or two occasions I had the cat bring a bat up from the basement and I would yell at him to drop it because the last thing I need is the cat getting rabies. We were finally able to fix our bat problem and we haven't had them in the house for a few years now. :D

I'm an arsehole to spiders. If a spider is found in the room I am in it gets no mercy. Especially the bathroom.

^ Me. Also, Nick Wilde ftw. *q*

I hate spiders the most. I'll either spray them with Raid, or I'll have my dad kill them. I just can't stand this little shits. They terrify me way beyond reason. ;~; Other bugs I could careless about and can pretty much kill all on my own. It does depend on the bug though. If it's a cockroach... oh god...
 
Most of the responses in this thread greatly disappoint me. I have several spiders that live in my flat but I leave them be. Much rather have them around than other bugs like flying insects. In general I let nature do its thing, there's a pretty big spider in my bedroom at the moment but he/she usually lurks away from my sight - occasionally though I do see him/her stalking around. Zero fucks given mate. Does not bother me in the slightest, I sleep just fine, IT'S ALL BUSINESS AS USUAL FOR ME, YOU WEAK ASS COWARDS!
 
I am a big baby so I shout my step-dad and he gets the spider and takes it outside.
But I never seen a rat/other vermin in my own home.
Even though I keep telling my self they are harmless I still get scared.
 
I usually leave them be. But one time a fly got into my apartment right before I wanted to go to sleep and instead of swatting it I shooed it into the bathroom, shut the door and went to sleep. Dealt with that sucker in the morning.
 
if it's something small and slow like a spider, ant, or fruit fly i'll kill it, no problem. but if it's a roach or wasp you'd better believe i'm calling someone else to kill it.
 
Insects I tend to kill, depending on what they are. The fat little bumblebees that live in my backyard are all right with me now, so they stick around.

Rodents are taken care of by my dog. But the one time that there was a family of opossums in my backyard, I flung the entire family over the fence armed only with a shovel and a rake.
 
point them out so the nearest person can dispose of it. this is only for bugs tho. I want to let them live buuut I live on the 5th floor now so I'm not gonna carry them outside.

hopefully no mammalian pests.
