"Live and let live" or "death to all bugs"?

Live and let live only works when the bugs are not in the house and when they are not overwhelming your yard and vegetation. After that, it's war.

I kill spiders, I don’t like spiders. The other bugs I let live because we need them to feed the lizards.

Generally, depending on the size of the critter inside the house (if it is easy to do), I will capture it and/or let it out of my house. A bee I almost always trap it and send it outside. Moderate sized or big spiders, let them outside; however, mostly crawling critters like beetles, I'll step on them. Generally speaking, it's easy enough to open a screen or door and let them out.

Outside, back when I had gardens, I'd either spray or treat the plants with an organic liquid. However if my veggies were getting clobbered, I'd find a stronger method that didn't affect the health of the veggie or me after consuming them.

I'm too lazy to do anything about it. The only reason I will discard my lethargic state of nature against critters is when I see a cockroach in my house, or when I'm under harassment from termites; neither of them have declared war against me so far.

"The only good bug, is a dead bug!"

If an insect (or any other living entity of that approximate size) is annoying me, I will either (1)kill it or (2) try to ignore it. Whichever path I choose, I spend no time whatever thinking about any moral or otherwise philosophical ramifications of my actions. One lives; one does what one has to do. What's to agonize about?

Mosquitoes, spiders that bite, roaches, ants, and their ilk? Yes I kill them on the spot. While lady bugs and say daddy long leg spiders, I leave them unharmed. Moths? I capture them and let them fly out the window.

My attitude differs greatly as respects being indoor and outdoors.

Virtually every bug I find indoors, I kill.

Outdoors I kill:

Fire-ants
Mosquitoes
Cockroaches
Foilage devouring vermin

I give spiders*, ground beetles, mantis, and lady bugs a pass.

*Except black widows

I used to kill spiders, mainly brown recluses that we used to have in Kansas, but the spiders we get here in Arizona, I might kill, or might not.

Tarantula wasps, I kill. Other flying insects that make it into the house, I usually kill.

Scorpions I kill, without question.

I'm selective. For flies, mosquitos, bed bugs (haven't seen any personally. Yet. So I'm announcing preemptive strikes in advance), fleas, ticks. roaches, I advocate genocide. Spiders in general are the good guys. They torture and then eat the bad guys. While people like Al Qaeda are clearly the bad guys, I don't advocate that policy toward them.

If it's inside the house I kill it, unless it's a butterfly, which would be a sin, or an easily trapped (small) spider I can put outside.

Outside I kill slugs and snails because they're pests, and after having an extremely wet summer, there's shitloads of the bastards.

One way to get flies or wasps out of a house is simply to turn off all the lights and open the door; they fly toward the light. If they're by a window trap them in a jar and slip a piece of paper over the top and turn them loose outside.
