If its a big and flying thing, get a can, can it, put a paper under. Then release outside. If its just a small bug (spider) get yourself a piece of soft paper (tissue paper) and carefully put it ontop, squeeze, grab, remove, throw to trash bin.

That's what I usually do! Only, I use a glass, and run it on small bugs and crawlers as well as fliers. Most insects are actually quite benifical, and squashing them just means cleaning bug juice out of the carpet/wall/table/whatever. Trapping them and releasing them alive avoids that.
