If there's an insect in your house, do you take it outside or do you kill it?

I have a husband, and one bit of sexist nonsense I still hold to is that MEN kill the bugs.

Outside.

Death. Inside, outside, it doesn't matter. Given the opportunity I will kill most insects. Note that I will let spiders live because they also kill insects (although, strictly speaking, spiders aren't insects and the question wouldn't apply).
I have always believed that mosquitoes and cicadas are so annoying that the constitute clear proof that there cannot be a loving creator.

If it's outside, I leave it alone, unless it tries to bite or sting me, my family, or guests. If it's inside the house, I transport it outside if I can do so without being bitten or stung. Otherwise, I do what must be done, but always with a pang of regret at having to kill a living thing.

Depends. If they pose a health risk, or if there are several of them and relocating them is impractical, then I will kill them. Otherwise I will try to relocate them.
Spiders (which aren't insects) are welcome as long as they stay in the corners, because they help keep down any unwanted bugs.

I usually kill it. Why? I'm too lazy to take it outside and I really don't give a crap about a bug's life.

Spiders I take out because they eat bugs. Most bugs I kill.

Depends on the bug. I'd kill cockroaches, palmetto bugs, mosquitoes, wasps, fire ants, termites, etc..
If its a spider, I don't kill it at all. Most spiders in the house spiders, taking them outside would not be good for them, they'd die.

I take it outside if I can catch it. Otherwise it hangs out until I can get it out, in return they have to sense the Sanghata Sutra, recited loudly by a lama for over an hour.
