Winter's round the corner, so more bugs are going to be crawling into my house looking for a warm place, spiders in particular. Normally I trap them and release them outside, but I was wondering how others handle a spider moment.

You should have made a poll

1. Kill it

or

2. Put it back outside (you're the first person I've actually heard of who does this)

I would assume if a spider was inside of a door it would already be dead, so I wouldn't do anything :)

Did what I did Sunday morning: Scream and huddle away from it. I heard my mom get up so I ended up calling her to kill it. D: I'm terrified of them. I even screamed again and yelled at my cat when she stepped on it. That's when it ran in a circle and into the wall.

1 or 5. After an incident involving an innocent mailman, I decided to stop killing things that came on my property without my permission.

Depends on my mood. Usually I'll either be lazy and leave it, or just squash it right then and there.

One way ticket on the porcelain express. Definitely not a fan of spiders. Not afraid of them, they're just not cool.

Depends on the species.

If it's a spider like a funnel web then I'll calmly walk into the kitchen to retrieve the bug spray and paint it white.

Please note these are the most potentially lethal spiders on the planet.

Or, if it's a spider like a huntsman then I'll freeze with terror and reach for the nearest blunt object without looking away, then proceed to bludgeon it to death.

Please note these spiders are completely harmless.

I dont actively hunt spiders, actually I like them hanging in corners, keeps the place clear of flies and mosquitoes. If I find one in the shower though, all bets are off.

Alli, believe me, if you saw a wolf spider (same size as tarantula) you would kill it...their eyesight is as good as yours, they know you're there.:o

I'd post an image, but Photobucket is doing site maintenance.

I'm from the UK and we don't get spiders that big, but if i turned around and saw a huntsman spider i'd probably run for my life.

I'd just put it outside. The only bugs I kill are flies, because they're ****ing annoying with how the fly and buzz all over the place. Atleast spiders are cool and just chill and mind their business.

Not so in Florida...we have wolf spiders here, and their eyesight is as sharp as a human's...they know your presence.:o

Almost as large as a tarantula, when you see one you kill it, or run

There was a wolf spider on the kitchen counter one time. A knife was right in front of it. My mom saw it, went to kill it, and the wolf spider lifted its legs up and threw the knife in the air.

I usually scream like a little girl. If its really late at night and no one else is up to kill it (and it usually is late at night! :x), then I take the 15 or so minutes necessary to muster up the courage to kill it.
