My rule is basically as long as the bug doesn't bother me, I'll let him do whatever. If I see a spider in a corner, fine. If a fly is just buzzing somewhere harmlessly, dont care too much. Moth flutters in, whatever.
But if the fly starts to bother me, I kill it. If the spider goes somewhere I dont want (on my bed, on my towel, basically anything I will expose my naked or nearly naked body to) I a) try to trap and remove it or failing that b) kill it.
When possible, I let them live or send them outside, no matter what. Only exceptions have been mosquitos, sometimes wasps (in my old office a girl was deathly allergic to them, so we had to kill them if they got in), and cave crickets that infested a basement in a house I rented.
At first it was like "Eh." But then they became overwhelming and were everywhere, so we had to take action. They are disgusting. I felt bad months after a particularly gruesome slaughter, but in the moment I took great joy in it.
