When you find spiders in the house, how do you deal with them?

Kill :mazen: What if the nasties come back

 

I only release bees/wasps and some flies because it's not worth battling them

Edited by Illuminati

If they’re small and on the ceiling I just leave them alone. They take care of flies which are worse imo

 

 

Only mosquitoes and roaches deserve death. 

 

I tend not to worry too much about spiders because they're usually small and don't multiply like crazy OR cause humans that much harm. 

 

I put them outside. My general rule is, if it flies, it dies.

Edited by Miss Show Business

I let them live if they mind their business but if they get too close to my vicinity or infringe on spiritual law I must burn them, by the grace. 

As someone with arachnophobia, I always chose death.
Now as someone who appreciates and respects nature and life, if it’s outside, I’ll let it be, but if I catch one of them scurrying across my floor it’s curtains for them and I’m sorry to that man :kitty:

Yep. Most house spiders can't see well anyway... so they are more scared of us than we are them. 

set them free, they're kinda cute if you look at them from a different perspective, especially the small ones

Kill them, but feel a bit guilty each time since I know they kill the insects and it’d be a benefit 

How DARE you Mr. Spider, you had me fooled. And you too Mrs. Spider. DEATH to all of them :spin:

 

 

 

 

 

Jk I leave them alone as long as they stay away from me :eli:

Pretty much this. I only set the ones free that I see struggling to get out of sinks or bathtubs. 

I let them roam. they only come out at night anyway and they eat other bugs. works for me!

kill or get someone THAT AIN'T ME to put them outside! maybe like down the street, I don't want to give them a reason to come back into the house!

!!!

I love spiders, I let them do their thing unless their web is to big, in which case I gently tear it down

I try to catch them and put them outside.

I really try to avoid killing any insect if I can (except Mosquitos, those are straight from the devil :rip: )

I just leave them alone, they kill and eat other nasty bugs I don't want in my home, I will take down their webs if it's too big or somewhere I don't want it, but other than that I let them do their thing, we have a mutual agreement :celestial5:
