"Pests - Kill Or Not To Kill?"

Before I go any further, may I say that this is not about your little brothers or sisters. Anyway, the question I ask is this: pests, do you kill them, or do you just let them roam around? I must say that if there's a massive spider, we'll either run for our lives, or get my brother to crush it within toilet roll, put it in an ice-cream tub and throw it out into the garden, where it will he fed upon by other insects, hence the circle of life. Whereas, if it's a small one, we'll probably just leave it. Once we had what I thought was a nest a few years back. Out from under the hi-fi crawled a bloody grat big spider, about 6 or 7 centimeters long. We killed it, and then another one came along, and my brother was laying right next to the hi-fi, so it made us all jump! We killed it, and haven't had any problems since. I'd laugh if we got some soon though, because it's the summer-time that spiders like to come out :0)

Anyway, back on topic, I know people who have set fire to spiders, others who have drowned them in a pool of petrol, and others who just flush them down the bog.

So, to kill, or not to kill?

(I already know Grix's answer :D)
