I do that all the time, depending on the bug. If its a wasp or something that can potential cause me harm... I kill it. If its an ant or a spider, I capture it and let it out the back door.
I saw a roach in the shower and I bruised myself up running from it and slipping on the bathroom floor. I'm man enough to admit this on the internet behind a false persona.
So far we have 2 asians saying they would eat it and 2 females saying they would put it outside and one male acting like a female when seeing one...
My mom lets out bugs. I remember her getting a mouse to trust her enough for her to release it. Must be some buddhist mind trick... I get chills from the crunch of killing a roach. I dunno if it's because I've taken a life or because it's icky. But in the scheme of things, letting a roach live spells disaster for your home, so it's gotta go.
If it doesn't hurt me, I won't hurt it. Besides we don't get nasty red ants like yall get down there.
I grab the Bushmaster...afix the m7 bayonet (which alternates as a dagger, although the m6 alternates as a field knife)...I then smile and do it.
Nut up and squish them, cleaning up afterwards is not a big chore. Flying? Bat down to floor then finish off. Like what was said before, letting roaches live isn't a good thing for the crib. Just read that roach allergens worsens asthma symptoms more then other types of allergens.
I pick them up and add them to the multi-insect cage where I have weekly competitions to see who's got what it takes. Then, they get to vote and select one of the insects to be kicked off the island.
I drown them in a sea of pee-pee.. unless I'm in the bathtub.. you don't make toilet in the bathtub, ever.
