    I don't kill spiders - mostly in my house we only get wolf spiders & little garden spiders anyway. So I trap them in a glass and set them outside.

    Anyone read The Wasp Factory by Ian Banks? I think it works better with spiders. To summarise for those who have not read the book, I place the spider in the centre of an elaborate contraption involving several tiny doors, each rigged to shut when the spider goes through it. Behind each door is a different trap to kill the spider in an interesting way. I then use the spiders decision the predict the future.

    Of course if I'm in a hurry I just chuck the thing out of the window.

    I don't kill it. Most of the time I just let it be, unless in the bedroom.
    If I feel like it needs to not be where it is, I'll capture it and put it outside.

    If I feel they need to die, I'll just take a little piece of paper and squish!

    Don't bother, there are so many spiders in the world you are probably within 7 feet of one right now, most spiders are harmless, unless it's a black widow, or a brown recluse, or the poisonous spider of your area, it's best let it be.

    Well, after the initial panic, I take off my sneaker and chase that sucker down so I can smash its guts! I am severely allergic to most spider bites and any of them unlucky enough to be in my house must be killed.

    I don't kill it unless it looks poisonous. Spiders eat other bugs.

  • Spiders don't really bother me that much. I usually just let them be, or let Spooky take matters into her own paws, so to speak.

    I just squish it if I have to. Or if it's a big spider, I try to get someone else to do it haha

    That depends on what's nearby. Shoes and fly swatters are good, but I use the spray if I can get a clear shot without any of the spray hitting my stuff. For up close killing I like to have a thick layer of something between it and me.

    It had better be pretty darned big for me to kill it. I usually let them stay where they are. Spiders are no biggie for me.

    On the other hand if there was a really big one, I would be more concerned with what he was eating...

    Find a pair of scissors and cut its legs off one by one then watch it squirm to its death. I have to. Despite being practically phobic, I have to protect a hubby who is allergic and a daughter who might be.
