Current Events > Relocate or kill: House spiders.

(+) Yeah! (+)

What is your policy on spiders? As it begins to cool off more should attempt to move in for those of you in a northerly area.

I just relocated a wolf spider this morning with a clear cup and a sheet of paper.

Unless it's like some kind of horrible murder spider, I usually don't even bother messing with it.

If you relocate a House spider it ceases to be a House spider.

Does this relocation not kill the House spider, if not the spider itself?

I'd rather have a spider in my house than any of the flying insects it eats.

Strict no-kill policy unless it's assaulting me at which point it becomes self-defense.

C: let them be

Tiny ones, I'll let them be.

Big fuckers feel the wrath of the vacuum cleaner.

It depends on the type and size. Theres one in my foyer that made a small web in a corner and I've let him be, hes been catching small insects.

But, my previous house was way back in the woods, I would find some pretty big wolf and dark fishing spiders. Outside I would let them be but they would sometimes find there way inside. I would normally find one or two "monsters" a year, like huge, they had to go.

Garden spiders I leave be unless they make a web right in the way of the door, no kill, just remove web for it to come back the next night.

I didn't know how the filk down under do it with those Huntsman spiders. Those things are ginormous.

Bathroom and bedroom off limits.

relocate depending on the spot.

leave alone if it's out of the way.

kill if it's a dangerous spider.

I don't even relocate. Unless they're in my way, why bother?

Burn house down

Depends on the size and type and if my wife or kid spot them first.

Either relocate or just leave be unless it's a black widow or something

If I'm able to keep track of it I'll kill it with an upside down air can (so shoots freeze spray). If it gets away I won't bother trying to find it.

So it really up to the spider if they want to live or die by my freeze spray.

Regular house spiders I leave alone in the house unless it's in my bed or something.

Once in a while I'll get a wolf spider or something similar those get relocated outside or in the garage to prey on the other creatures in there.

I've never seen a dangerous spider in the house but if I did I'd relocate if it were easily done otherwise they're going down.

I saw this 1-inch long MFer a few days ago in my front foyer. I was able to maneuver him to my front door mat and then subsequently outside.

I don't live in a place that has fat hairy spiders so I don't mind relocating the ones that do show up. I don't think I could manage dealing with the big boys.

Had too many brown spider bites in the past, so anything not a spider killer itself gets 86ed.

I'm generally too heebyjeebied by them to attempt relocating, but also try to respect that they help and aren't dangerous usually so I try to just leave them be.

Unless they are in my bathroom then it's death.
