I try not to kill them but I don't want them creepy-crawling around my living spaces. Ideally I'll find a cup or something and scoop them up and take them outside, because if I get really surprised by one I'm liable to just squish it because it freaks me out.
Sometimes, though... well, I spotted one in the middle of the bedroom floor once and tried to remove him safely and he ran up ONTO MY BEDSPREAD and was probably heading for what seemed like a good hiding spot in my bedding.. I was able to shake him back onto the floor where he was promptly squashed and deposited in the nearest trash receptacle.
I hated to do it but when they refuse to cooperate with the rescue and release operation, I figure it's their choice, lol. Plus, and I feel it bears repeating: HE TRIED TO HIDE IN MY BEDDING. THAT I WAS GOING TO SLEEP IN LATER. Primal instincts were involved, ya know?
Also the one that came spinning his merry way down from the ceiling fan in the bathroom about an inch in front of my nose the other morning? Oh yeah, I totally whacked that one. He wasn't playing fair at all.
