My mum is vehemently anti-killing to the point that she won't even relocate bugs off her treasured curry leaf plants that are constantly under attack - I've never seen the insides of a roach and don't think I'm in a rush to ๐ฌ
At my old place I'd catch them under a cup and throw them outside. My mum puts kitchen gloves on and grabs them just like that which freaked me out massively as a child and as an adult
