Bugs & Moving containers inside for winter.

Ok, the time is slowly approaching and I am curious as to what you guys do so as not to move bugs inside along with the plants...
I don think I have anything malicious, just eek-bugs - spiders, centipedes, earwigs etc...
Any opinions short of killing them?
I'll be repotting a few, but not all of the plants...

Mainly just spray everything down thoroughly with water.

have you got any netting they can be quarantined in briefly until you're sure to be bug free-ish?

Thanks for the replies, I brought some in, just spraying the leaves with soapy water, and I'll pretend there are no bugs in the soil. If they leave me alone, I figure I can leave them as well...
