I have no idea what you are talking about. ;)
Can’t say I’ve seen any...
Spiders are good, they eat the other bugs that cause trouble. The spiders we have are tiny though.
My preferred method is using a piece of paper, slide it gently under them and lift.
Tried and true! I also add a jar because they make me jump, I can't help it lol. I have had big orb spiders crawl on me in the woods while climbing in the US and we have large spiders here incl. the giant English house spider here. They are both the size of hands. Freak me the fuck out haha.
My wife and all my kids are deathly afraid of spiders. I put them all outside and I'm happy that's the example I'm setting.
Spider bro, spider bro, keeping that fly population low.
I like spiders until they bite me when I sleep. Then peace is over.
Well then stop sleeping with spiders. Geez. /s
Prude. /s

I have severe arachnophobia, i can't kill spiders i am too afraid of them. But my cat is a ruthless killer and never fails to make them dissappear.
Maybe I can't get close enough to kill it, but the spider spray can.
My cat says
👀🍽😼
(eats it then spits it out, then try to eat it again, repeat until dead)
Sorry spiders, I'm team Cat.

I saw a couple recluse spiders in my apartment several months ago and maybe I’m an idiot, but I left them alone. They were truly more scared of me than I was of them. They don’t want to bother me and only will if I threaten them. So I left them alone and they just chilled in their “recluse” hiding spots.
Uhhhh....I would not fuck around with recluses. One bite will melt a golf ball size hole in your flesh. If you really want, you can catch and release but you for sure don't want them in your house. If they breed, you're looking at a serious problem.
Widows are more common in my area and I do the same.
I have a door spider. It lives in a crack in my entry door. I'm not sure of it is the same spider as last year, but it makes trap web near my door frame. I think of it as bug protection, it's eating something I don't want in my house.
Asian Lady beetles on the other hand...
Well there is no absolute morality and spiders are scary so...
Aww you're no fun...
Here, have a video of one of my bros showing what he thinks of that comment.
If they don't violate my personal space, they get to live, but if it crawls on my monitor or something similar, I'm getting the slipper
...outside. They deserve to live outside. I unapologetically squish insects and arachnids alike inside my home.
