    When you find them in your house, do you kill them, or let them live?

    I like to let them live, unless they are big and hairy and look dangerous (which they never are). I have one living in my shower right now, and another one living under my computer desk. They are gangily little guys.

    My dad had a spider on his front balcony that he fed for three years. His name was Herb.

    Edit: I'm such a weirdo.

    I do not kill spiders or anything really..I catch spiders in my house and set them free outside....i wrote a story about spiders. it is in the writer's section of this forum called Cobweb.

    I only kill ticks and mosquitoes if they are on me.

    I know it is not their fault they are what they are, either...when I do, though.

    Let them live...

    I do on occasion remove the egg sacks though... I don't need 10,000 new spiders all of a sudden.

    The only spiders we have to worry about around here are black widows and brown recluses. Black widows dont come inside and brown recluses arent that common in this region.

    So generally i'm not that bothered with most species of small spiders but I dont like big spiders. Wolf spiders st art coming indoors going into the fall to seek out warmth and they really creep me out. I usually kill them because i dont want to get close enough to catch them and put them outside.

    Usually I ask the spider if he or she is cold, then proceed to offer them a blanket. Occasionally I will brew up a pot of tea and invite them to sit down for a chat.

    I suspected sadism from those who are proving me to be right.

    I like spiders. They don't bother me, i don't bother them. I prefer to keep them as they tend to get rid of all the other creepy crawlers.

    If I find a spider outside, I ignore it and let it be.

    If I find a spider inside... I kill the bastard. Spiders don't pay rent.

    ^^^ Nope they don't pay rent, but do save you money on insecticide for all the other bugs.

    Occasionally Erin catches a wolf spider and has a snack... She never goes after web spiders though. She likes crickets too...

    I don't really believe in reincarnation, but for some reason, something inside me keeps on telling me that the giant fucking tarantula could be my dead grandmother. There, I do my best to trap it without it laying its eggs in my face and set it free in the neighbor's yard.

    i let them live until they come at me. when a big hairy anything is running full speed at my bare foot, it's probably going to get crushed by something.
