discussion Do you kill spiders or set them free?

[Vertigo Stick]

I just leave them alone. If it's a really bigger spider then I'll set it free. I believe spiders are good luck  

[Tropez]

Kill them. You entered my territory, without my permission. Maybe if they asked, I would accept. But rent is too expensive, and they aren't helping with that too. 

[gagacasanova]

I kill their asses if theyre in the house. If they're outside then I leave them alone.

[John Slayne]

I kill them. I have arachnophobia so even killing them freaks me out, but trying to catch them and carry them outside would be a lot worse, I can't do it. 

 

I do find it endearing that people catch them and release them outside, I think it's cute! However, some of my friends keep them inside to 'catch other insects' and that's a no from me. I can't share my space with a spider, one of us has to go. 

 

[BloodLuster]

I completely loathe insects so

[flower moon]

if theyre big i might kill them but they catch the other nasty bugs so i like to keep em around.
there're loads of tiny jumping spiders where i live and theyre so cute tbh

[blueberries]

i just leave them alone

[DanceFreak]

I kill them with bug spray. I can't have them scuttling around 

[kandicha]

if it's just chilling by itself in like a dusty corner of the room or the window i'll leave it alone but if it moves or comes anywhere near me i'm killing it

[ChrisTheLoner]

I leave them be, they kill and eat all the gross bugs so spiders are good in my book

Same, they're called Zebra Spiders and I think they're adorable 

[MoonGoodandHappy]

I Dahmer them.

[cockatoo]

If it's a small one I normally ignore it. But those big house spiders, no ma'am, especially if it's in my bedroom. Death to all of them.

[Johnny Jacobs]

I dont do bugs/insect.. 

 

I send my boyfriend and he handles them. I don't want to know nothing but "it's gone now" 

 

[JonginBey]

If it looks like the type of spider that might come back to bite if I set it free, then I’ll kill it right then and there. Also, it depends on if there’s anything within arms reach to kill it. I absolutely hate spiders, so I’m not going out of my way to chase one down

[Bencharmer]

I let most of the them in my house.

I remove the webs only when they are left.

They do a great job killing other annoying insects.

[BrokenMachine]

I set them free. My mom just kills them tho, so whenever I see one I rush to set the spider free 

[Planet Mars]

Roaches and flies get killed, I usually pit anything else outside. Moths can be a problem but I know they're attracted to light so I usually just leas then outside. I grew up in Maryland where stinkbugs were an issue in the summer, and those MF's definitely got put outside, the smell

 

Most bugs/insects are harmless but German roaches are literally an invasive species and flies are annoying AF so they get the work too
