Current Events > Poll: Do you kill the spiders you find in your home?

(+) Yeah! (+)

What say you CE

I personally let them out of the home if I ever see them, but not very far, so they usually make their way back in

I just don't like webs in the house but otherwise I love spiders because they eat shit like mosquitoes and flies
---

No, I like them keeping the bad shit out of my house.
---

If they cross my path or interfere with my day to day activities they die, if they mind their business they live
---

no because I'm not a savage and i understand how useful they are

No mercy in GBs household

Only recluse and widows. I usually capture and set free the others if cat doesn't get to them first.
---

I hate spiders so yes, I kill any bug that somehow gets inside

Hell no. They do basically nothing annoying. They eat flies, on the other hand, who are much, much more annoying.

I'm a monster... but I'm actively trying not to be. My wife will usually remove them now.

Only the black widows, because my one year old niece lives with me and I'm not risking her health.

I don't even remove the rest of them because they eat bugs and they're chill. I even have a shower spider, Gil, that I scoop out and put on the windowsill when I bathe so he doesn't drown.

Depends on what and where they are. Usually I give the slight talk to when it's a jumper or those tiny house spiders that only grow to be about 2-3 mm in diameter max. I tend to let them be because they don't really do anything harmful.

Brown recluses have to go, and I know I've gotten a few that might not have been and just a poorly colored/placed wolf spider.

When I was younger there was a massive outbreak of golden orb weavers. You could literally stand and look in a direction to see 10-15 females with 2-4 foot webs. I being the only brave one to go near em commited genocide and killed easily 100 or more. They're still around, but not as many or intrusive. I try to atone for it and I didn't do it because I hate spiders... it's more like we can't be having giant strong webs on everyone's front and back door and 10-20 in each yard. It'd also be just as wrong to relocate them to someone's yard down the street, because that's how some species get spread... like crazy ants *shudders*

Yup. Now that I live in an area without those, I just ignore spiders. They've got webs in every corner without a fan blowing towards it.
