My policy is ignore them unless my wife complains (she hates big bugs for some reason) or they can cause harm to us or our dogs (yellow jackets, centipedes).

For the former I'll make an attempt to capture and transport outside (and if not I'll leave it alone), if it's the latter I'll either try to shoo it outside or kill it, with killing being the last resort.

I don't use pesticides or weed killer and I also actively leave a couple patches of wild flowers and clover in the back yard unmowed for bees and butterflies and other insects to use. If my dogs didn't like trying to eat bees I would consider doing some sort of beekeeping.

I can't ignore them indoors because they multiply quickly.

Some of us are absolutely terrified of bugs and spiders. Some of it is fueled by not knowing the true nature of them and some of it is instinctive. Also traumatic events in the childhood involving bugs play a big role too.
