I kill them and mount them on my wall as a trophy. If I happen to squash one onto a wall then I have just saved time.

50/50 between spraying them and splattering them.
That said, splattering is quicker, and far more sadistically satisfying.

Depend on what type of insects it is-

If it's a fly or moth then I either kill it or open my window to let it out (depend how often the fly stay still).

If it's a bumble bee or wasp than I will be merciful letting it out well wasp are scary while there aren't that many bee's left.

If it's a spider than I either run like hell if it's big) or pray that it will dissapear soon (if it's in my room).

I hate bugs, more than I'd like to admit. But I have a trick;

Treat them like they are human burglars that tries to pillage all your possessions and rape you in the process. When the visualization is complete, proceed to yell at them for breaking in and smack them silly with a FlySmacker?.

If it's a spider a lure it outside. I like spiders. Same goes for just about anything exept thing that bite without being ***** slapped. Not to many big bugs here though.

Unless It gets on my skin in which case i crush it.

Catch it in a box and release it outside, usually. Unless there are a lot of them or they're especially annoying (smashy time).

If it's something flying that's bigger than a fly, then I flee from it, and try to find something to smash it with.

Last year I killed 3 butterflies with lego cars. It was like 02:00 AM, but I wouldn't sleep before every single one of them were dead or gone. Preferably dead.

Typically, I try and ignore it. <<

If it's a particularly persistent insect, I will try and encourage it to go outside without harming (or indeed touching) it.

Panicking is almost always involved. Insects make me feel all squeamish.

In my room every insect is allowed to live. Not stay in here, but I throw them out instead of smashing them. My walls were painted not too long ago so I'd rather keep them clean.
Otherwise to hell with moths!

With spiders I use the classic glass & coaster method then throw them outside. Anything else gets smashed with whatever is close to hand, sometimes bare hands. And I once shot a wasp in half with a BB pistol. That was a good shot.

Really, only two things have annoyed me in the last few years; spiders, against which I calmly get up, get a glass and some paper, throw them out the window, then spend the next few hours with my feet on my chair; and moths, by which I mean mahoosive, canhear-them-smashing-into-walls-from-across-the-room huge moths, that I generally hide from, freak out when they fly near me, and hope the fly into my lamp and die (Rather than loudly struggle, jump out, lie on the floor for a few seconds, then resume as normal).

Fuck moths.

I'm very...for lack of a better term, kindhearted to bugs (I often save them from my pool, friends, other people who might smash them), so I gently pick them up with a napkin and take them outside.

...except spiders. Those little freaks can taste the back of my squashing book (which is actually my sister's copy of Twilight - she hates it when I do this).
This, but the top applies to spiders too.
If I know the spider is poisonous though, I will kill it. Same with ants and mosquitoes, I hate ants. But all other insects, like cockroaches, beetles whatever I save or let them be. Same with jumping spiders and orb-web spiders and ones I know won't severely damage me.

I don't kill bugs or things like that. I don't think it's very nice.

If there was a big spider on me I... wouldn't react well. But I wouldn't kill it - aside from being awful that would be messy too. My common reaction is just to shake vigourously and recklessly until I shake the beast in question loose. If it's just in the room I'll usually leave it alone.

Depends. If its a cockroach or a mosquito than I kill them. If its a spider or a bee than I let them go.
Fuck ants. If I see one of them in my house than I either smash the hell out of it or run away screaming.

Depends, if it's on the other side of the room i'll leave it be.
If it's crawling about on the window I'll just open the window and let it out.

If it's loud or being very near me then I'll kill it.

Spiders are so helpful in killing other bugs that I let them live. Most other things get killed. Then I string them up or put their heads on spikes, hoping that other bugs are able to take a hint.

Btw, I noticed yesterday that moths burn really well ^^

I found this badboy in the garden and trapped it in a glass to take these photos. Released it afterwards.

It's the size of a bumblebee, about 22mm. Thought at first it was a hornet or queen wasp, but the fly-like compound eyes give it away. Turns out it's the hornet mimic hoverfly, Volucella zonaria. Rare but gaining in numbers in southeast England.



OT: Flies, mosquitoes and wasps shall be crushed by blunt force trauma. Other critters can be trapped/released or just ignored, unless they really bug me.
