What do you do??
Do you try to ignore them or do you try to drive them away your home??
In our house, when insects come inside, we try to just ignore them if they're not that irritating. I actually love it when grasshoppers, crickets and butterflies come in - I dont know why but it feels great for me. But when I see cockroaches, mosquitoes and flies, I really try to kill them!!

We spray some chemicals around the perimeter of our house to keep out the crawling kind of bugs. If the crawling types of bugs get into our house the children have a tendency to scream. We have tried to explain that some are safe but it doesn't matter to them. We also have some chemicals that we hang in milk jugs that attract the flying type of bugs as well. This has a sweet smell to it so it attracts them away from the house. If a few do get in we try to kill them as best we can.

Me? I would leave it, if it was a smaller insect, then I would probably try to get it on a pencil and start playing with it.

I guess it depends on what kind of insect. Spiders i catch and take outside. Anything else we catch and feed to our bearded dragon {lizard} he loves it!!! And the kids enjoys running around trying to catch the bug.

The insects who always try tocame inside our house is the one that's very irritating, and very dirty insects so I killllled them. The good insects seldom goes too because we don't have garden or tress around the house, actually I never seen grasshoper since I moved in the city.

well we normally use chemicals to kill off the insects especially roaches cause i don't like them that much and they multiply rapidly.
I don't think i like insects in general so be it roaches,bug,butterfly etc they have to go back outside or get squashed

Hey,
Well what I do is call my cat. He will catch every insect.
I must say that I rarely see one, probably because he catches them before I see them :)
Lol

It would depend on where in my house and what I am doing.
If it is my bedroom, I will definitely kill them. No one invades my sanctuary without permission. :P
Otherwise, I try to shoo them away, failing which I might still kill them.

I do not like bugs if I see any kind of bugs like spiders or crickets we spray some chemicals around the house outside and in the house.That keeps most of the bugs out of the house. Sometimes we have to spray the house 2 times a year in the summer time. Flies also like to come in the house I usually try to kill them.

I'd most likely run and get my wife to take care of it. I'm a bit of a scaredy cat when it comes to bugs. Not a good thing to be where I live as we have some real big ones here. Not too many have made it in mind you as I'm very careful to keep the doors closed and we have screens on all the windows

I hate bugs, I always kill them. My dogs like to play with flies that don't move too fast, but if I get to them first I just kill them. Spiders creep me out and I definitely kill them, I'm so afraid of getting bit by the brown recluse and can't recognize them over other brown spiders, so they're history right away.

I follow them! I know, it's funny to see a grown woman crawling behind a crawly, but I do it to see where it is coming from! HAHA!
