We had them and we would just kill 'em. BUt its getting cold so they're gone now.
-
KILL IT! KILL IT! KILL IT!!!
-
I don't do anything but scream bloody murder until someone else kills it!
-
I catch them and let them free outside. It seems wrong to kill the poor things.
-
Capture using a bit of paper and a glass, scream my way to the nearest door/window and chuck the whole lot out. The spider remains unharmed and the paper and glass can be recovered later when I'm feeling brave.
-
If they are really big...you know the type with doc martin boots and tatoos, then I put a glass over the top of them and wait for my husband to come home and put it outside. If its small then I catch them and put them outside myself. I dont like to sqwish them because it makes me sqeemish but I also have to keep my dog from getting them because she eats them......Uuuugggghhhhh!
-
If they are high up and I won't be getting visitors with good eyes....I leave them do their work at catching bugs for me. If they are near me lower down I either take them outside or squish!
-
We have these HUGE brown ones about the size of a human hand in our house. Whenever I see them I just lose my wits [I have arachnophobia I think] and ask a house member to please, PLEASE kill it... I'm not cruel or anything, but killing them means I won't have to see them ever, EVER again.

Kill it
-
I make him very comfortable. I like spiders, they eat the bugs I don't like. I hate ants, I have silverfish, I hate bugs! But spiders, I like :)
-
scream and try to step on him before he attacks me!
-
Identify it by classification make sure it's not venomous,or capable of biting you in your sleep.If it's a jumping spider catch it ,and be fascinated by it.
-
I let it go on its merry way unless the s/o seen it..then I just catch it and put it outside. I refuse to kill anything that helps me git rid of flies and mosquito's.
-
Kill it
-
i usually freak out and make whoever else is in the house kill it... one time there was one in my shower and i literally ran out naked and had my sister kill it before i could get back in... now looking back thats pretty funny...
-
I put a cup over it, then slip a peice of paper under the cup and let it go outside.
-
I always save them (with glass and paper) from the cat and place them outside even though they give me the heebygeebies!
-
I splat em.
-
Meh :- l
-
Run!
-
Scream for someone to save me -- then I kill it myself if no one shows up fast enough. I HATE spiders.
-
I seriously have a terrible fear of spiders. If I was alone, I would leave the room and try to shut the door or seal it off somehow and wait until someone could come get rid of it. If it was a very large spider, I would leave the house entirely.
-
Pick it up with a cup and paper and let it go outside.
-
If i catch it in my house i treat it as a prisoner of war. I start by ripping it apart limb by limb. Then i'll take a lighter to it. When it's medium rare I feed it to my fish, its true fish like spiders and it makes a perfect snack. Try it out if you have an aquarium.
-
Smash it.
-
It depends on the spider. Most of the time I leave them to their business, after all, they ARE there for a reason. But if it is a hairy wolf spider or something that looks like it is eyeballing me from the cabinet, I will try to humanely remove it from the premises. If it does not cooperate, I will kill it by whatever means necessary.
-
smooosh it....ugh
-
it its a thick or big spider i freak out and have someone kill it for me
-
Trap it under a cup and then take it outside and let it go. I feel sorry for them because they get so scared. I can't bring myself to hurt anything on purpose, even if I don't like it.
-
Put it outside unless its too big, then I run!!! lol
-
Say hello it.
-
I squish it. Sorry friends of spiders.
-
Vacuum it up in the hand vac and let it go outside.
-
nothing
-
good spiders can stay, unless houseguest finds them and then the screaming begins until I release him into the great outdoors, bad spiders go to where bad spiders go when they get smooshed.
-
Im soft hearted and I catch them in a drinking glass and put them outside.However the ones I find in the winter can stay indoors until the spring.
-
black widow dead evryone else is free to go
-
if they're in a corner i don't usually see them, fine. they seem to keep away flying insects, i suppose. if one has set up shop someplace where i move around, then, i either try to carry it outside or, if i get frustrated, i kill it.
-
I grab one of those air cans for cleaning out yer comp shake it turn is upside down and freeze the little &*%$
-
If they don't get in my way then I leave them alone. I figure that's one reason why I have no flies or most other flying pests in my house.
-
Catch it in a jar and chase my brother around with it:)
-
Cup it in my hands and scare my good lady on my way to putting it outside, lol. :o)
-
scream run away call my dad to come over and get rid of it lol :)
-
kill it!
-
Catch it and put it outside, if its a daddy long legs i just put it on my arm, they are friendly.
-
Throw it our the window. o_O

Well, this may sound cruel but I found a Black Widow in my garage (and yes, they do have a red hourglass on the underside). Anyway, I was feeling in a rather pissed off mood, and not really caring about some frickin' venomous spider. So I grab a can of spray adhesive (Elmer's I believe it was), and I ask Miss Spider... do you feel lucky? Well, do ya?... And then I gave Miss Spider a dose of the sticky stuff all over her body... How's that feel... eh? Ya know, I hate walking through a siderweb... ya get that sticky feeling all over you and then you can swear you feel a spider on you.... Turn-about is fair play. And don't bother saying "Oh my god! that is so cruel!" OK? We're not talking a dog here... it's a spider for cryin' out loud! And no, spiders do not have feelings, OK? (Except Charlotte). See ya!
-
Pick it up and put it outside where it belongs :)
-
lmao! I feed them. Or if they are particularly cool, I collect and breed them.
-
I terrified of spiders so usually im that girl running away screaming (depending on its size) and finding someone to kill it.
