OT: Usually with whatever is available. One time I dropped a large chemistry book on a spider. I thought it was funny, but I got some weird looks from people wondering why I deliberately dropped my book on the floor. Not the most conventional way to kill spiders, but it was effective.
Depends on the bug.
If it's not annoying and not trying to feast upon my tasty, tasty flesh then I'll leave it alone.
Main method of disposal for the bad ones is squashing them flat with my mighty finger/palm, with the exception of stink bugs and bugs with stingers. Bees and hornets/wasps are left alone unless the nest is on my house, in which case it drowns in raid.
Ticks I absolutely despise; they get flushed down toliets, cut in half, burned, and/or any other situational method I deem fit.

I don't kill bugs, even if they bite me. Reacently in my room moved in Kiro the Spider, he bit me 4 or 5 times, but still he's livin' and kickin' and I don't intend on killing him. Bugs are living creatures too.
The only bug I would kill is a bee or a wasp, because Im somewhat afraid of them, but I would rather run like hell actually... ^^

With EXTREME PREJUDICE!
Incidentally, it turns out that fire is a very effective method of kiling mozzie swarms.

If it's fire ants, I vacuum them up and then throw cornstarch on them. Suffocates the little buggers.
Anything sticky. First I used hairspray that is strong, usually doesn't work until a lot has been used. Then I tried glue, didn't bother them, they just probably later die from tasting the glue if they did.
Today, however, I found a thing of Gorilla Glue, one of the strongest glues in the world that you can get. And boy, I must say, only a itty-bitty bit of that glue on an Ant, and they'll stop moving after a minute and be stuck, literally. If you apply a bit, they literally become encased in the glue, and since the glue is yellowish and see-through, it can become a fossil sort of look. I glued a rollie-pollie bug today in the glue, and it was there until I later washed it away with water encased in the see-through Gorilla Glue.
I know what I'm going to do tomorrow when I'm bored after school.
(I also like to use a lighter and burn the little buggers. Am I mean? Probably, but I find burning a fire ant oddly ironic, and after watching Indiana Jones, I no longer have a sense of empathy for them when I see them, especially the ant hills not too far away from here. One day I'm going to get a bit thing of glue, drop it down the ant hole at the top of the hill, run away, come back five minutes later, and see all the fossils I'll create!)

A nearby town recently had a retarded idea to import a ton of wasps to try and reduce mosquito and ant numbers. There are hives in every tree and bush, underneath the eaves etc. me and my family use a high powered poison aresol can in combination with a lighter to destroy the hives.
