I HATE killing ANY living organism (I'm not a fruitarian, or a Jainist, so don't ask me a silly question like "But what about plants/vegetables?"), and so, if I see, say a centipede, in my bath tub, I HAVE to remove it, often using some tissue paper. But it's often an arduous process. Being a good ethical vegan can be time-consuming at times.
What do you do?

Kill on sight.
sharedown the toilet.
shareIf that were even an option, it still wouldn't help my dilemma, since I'd still need to find some way of transporting the insect from the bath *to the* toilet...
If I'm able to actually move the insect, I'd rather gently move them to somewhere they're less likely to be automatically killed.
There was a praying mantis in my shower a few weeks ago. I carefully saved it and put it outside in the garden. A centipede, I would save. They don't hurt people.
But a cockroach or a fly? They're dead on sight. Also moths in the house because they eat holes in clothes - kill kill kill.
I understand. I frickin hate flies. But I still try to avoid killing them.
shareFlies land on dog shit and dead animals and then land on your food and vomit - that's how they eat - kill kill kill.
shareI try to avoid eating when there are flies around.
shareI drown it.

shareAlways keep a hard plastic cup in my bathroom for my toothbrush or hairbrush, so I just take whatever's in it out, scoop up the numbskull that can't get out of the bath and quickly carry it into backyard and put it outside. If you use a tall cup and just swish the cup around slightly, it keeps whatever it is at the bottom until you're outside. You can use anything in the bathroom that helps you to get it into the cup if it doesn't scoop efficiently, like the end of a hairbrush for example, but sometimes an envelop works best. I don't find it that hard, it's just a little nerve wracking when it's a massive spider - always afraid of damaging its legs.
shareGood advice. Makes sense. 👍🏼
