I have severe arachnophobia, i can’t kill spiders i am too afraid of them. But my cat is a ruthless killer and never fails to make them dissappear.
Maybe I can’t get close enough to kill it, but the spider spray can.
Sylvari spotted.
I have no idea what you are talking about. ;)
Can’t say I’ve seen any…
My preferred method is using a piece of paper, slide it gently under them and lift.
Tried and true! I also add a jar because they make me jump, I can’t help it lol. I have had big orb spiders crawl on me in the woods while climbing in the US and we have large spiders here incl. the giant English house spider here. They are both the size of hands. Freak me the fuck out haha.
Corny, Cute, and Ethically, Environmentally Sound. TY!

Note: While I find this funny, I do not advocate violence using sandals, towards humans nor spooders.
it’s down 🥲
Well there is no absolute morality and spiders are scary so…
If they don’t violate my personal space, they get to live, but if it crawls on my monitor or something similar, I’m getting the slipper
Aww you’re no fun…
Here, have a video of one of my bros showing what he thinks of that comment.
I have so many spiders on the lower floor of the place I’m in now I’ve given up on even bringing them outside. I identify what they are to keep track if we have an uptick in dangerous ones. If it a particularly gross one it goes in the garage to war it out with the cellar spiders otherwise I just shoot them under furniture so I don’t have to think about it. Damnit I’m turning into my dad…
They keep the bad stuff out, I figure. I try to put them in my plant pots if I find them around.
Spiders are good, they eat the other bugs that cause trouble. The spiders we have are tiny though.
I saw a couple recluse spiders in my apartment several months ago and maybe I’m an idiot, but I left them alone. They were truly more scared of me than I was of them. They don’t want to bother me and only will if I threaten them. So I left them alone and they just chilled in their “recluse” hiding spots.
Widows are more common in my area and I do the same.
Uhhhh…I would not fuck around with recluses. One bite will melt a golf ball size hole in your flesh. If you really want, you can catch and release but you for sure don’t want them in your house. If they breed, you’re looking at a serious problem.
I agree that we shouldn’t disturb nature, but let’s not forget that animals kill each other all the time. There’s no such thing as ethics in nature.
What if we are the ethics in nature
What if the real ethics in nature were the friends we made along the way?
Asian Lady beetles on the other hand…
Those spiders you find inside may be of a type completely adapted to living indoors with humans. Putting one outside means death.
Big this.
I made this mistake with a stink bug when it was winter. It was ok with being on the piece of paper I had it on. When I opened the door and the cold air hit it, it backed away towards me. I set it down and it stopped moving. Oops. :(
They’re cave-dwelling spiders. They still need a way to find new caves to inhabit. If they’re already settled in your house then they may not survive because you’ve interrupted their lifecycle. But new spiders are wandering in all the time. Those ones may have better luck finding a new house to move into (or coming right back into your house) because they haven’t been established yet.
…outside. They deserve to live outside. I unapologetically squish insects and arachnids alike inside my home.
I like spiders until they bite me when I sleep. Then peace is over.
Well then stop sleeping with spiders. Geez. /s
Prude. /s
yeah, me too. Fortunately that has never ever happened.
