Amen brother!
Actually this is part of our Commercial pest certificate in Australia IPM (Integrated Pest Management).
Some pesties forget that part and go all guns a blazing with a kill everything approach.
Well I "try" to take the approach of applying chemicals in the right areas approach taking my own home as a guinea pig approach.
So I apply pesticides internally and externally but as for the garden areas I let Nature take its course.
So the assassin bug - the lady Beatles they are proof to me that I've not taken things too far.
I always say to my customers "you gotta draw the line somewhere and I draw that line at my front door"
If they cross that threshold into my place well their gunna die
Even then my wife likes to take pictures of huntsmen and such inside the house and send them to me just to rub it in
!
For instance

I applied IPM and me and the Daughter did the paper and bucket removal techniques then me Being the big killer pestie I went and grabbed tome tweezers and carefully removed all the fluff that had built up in the poor huntsmans legs while it had been in my house.
Not kidding it musta been under my bed because the poor thing could hardly move from all the crap it had caught in its legs
