    For me the catch and release vs squash with my shoe dilemma comes down to one variable: how close to crawling upon my person where they when I noticed them

      I never squash spiders. They’re either my buddies and they catch insects that get into the house, or they’re entirely too large to squash; they’d make a mess. If my wife sees a spider and gets scared, I put it outside. It helps that there are no (common) venomous spiders where I live.

      Mosquitos, crane flies, flies, and wasps are all fair game though.
