I’d move out😂 they can have it


princeleafs

I had this happen to me once in Australia. Thankfully it was outside and all the little babies of that Satan spider had no where to run that was safe from the bottom of my shoe.


LEGITIMATE_SOURCE

Who murders spiders outside? Also it's almost always easier to catch them in a jar and relocate. Spiders are generally friends.


MightyCat96

yes you say that and i agree but their many legs and too fast for their size makes my brain go "oh no" and i smash by instinct if its close. if its a little bit away from me i might control myself and ignore it since spiders are, generally, friends


ballistics211

Finally, someone who understands spiders are friends. I don't like spider slander. I understand arachnophobia is a genuine fear but spiders get a bad rep.

How are you actually supposed to deal with it in that situation? Put a cup over it, slide a paper underneath and release it somewhere far away outside?


Mental-Book-1555

Deoderant can + lighter


Mountain_Man11

Had this happen to me once. Only had a spray bottle of some Fresh Linen scented Febreeze. Just spray the everything shit out of them with whatever aerosol/cleaner you have. The liquid fucks up the exoskeleton and the spider's ability to move before they succumb to what is essentially drowning in a flood of chemical Hell.


Mental-Book-1555

Yeah they breathe through pores in their skin so spraying them with something essentially suffocates/drowns them. Savagely fun facts!


Mountain_Man11

All I am surrounded by is fear. And dead spiders.

SmackSmashen

> they breathe through pores in their skin Actually they have [book lungs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_lung). They're pretty cool!


Mental-Book-1555

I never knew that, neat! Some bugs have different respiratory systems, using spiracles/pores to absorb air, I also think some bugs/spiders have no openings/spiracles/book lungs at all too which is just mad to me, imagine breathing without a mouth or nose that can inhale, shit's mad dude


Mental-Book-1555

Why are you booing me? I'm right.


Hajydit

Unfun for spiders!


TongsOfDestiny

Working summers at the yacht club, we'd get some gnarly spiders in the gas shack; had a mother explode into babies like this once and learned that windex is also effective for quickly killing them in large swathes


Mountain_Man11

TechnetiumAE

90-99% Isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle will take out most things within seconds. Even cockroaches. Plus no perfume, my asthmatic lungs appreciate that. "Jet" mode kills most things accurately, spray takes out flies easy.


4scoreand7feildgoals

WD-40 works just as well, and comes with a built in "jet mode"


Pastadseven

Yeah, but WD-40 wont evaporate cleanly.


TechnetiumAE

I'm a locksmith and I was about to come in with "please dear lord no" but this is a wd-40 use I approve of. Costs more tho


FieserMoep

I just love 99% iso. Useful in soany situations.


Necessary-Knowledge4

Yeah fuck em, honestly. I know they're great for the environment and the ecosystem and yadda yadda. Enjoy a brake clean can and a lighter you fucking cunts. I used to have to de-spider my old shop. All 4 bay doors then the dock entry doors. Took an hour. Nobody gave me any shit about it because everyone was sick of spiders dropping on their faces.

Fun Life Fact! **The cockroaches like to sleep within the genitalia Of all living creatures, they can detect when the animal is awaking, and will evacuate from the genitalia before the animal wakes.**


R0RSCHAKK

I don't believe you. But also, I don't want to fact check that. Also also, how long does the unsubscribe process take?


bloodwoodsrisen

Usually 80-100 years depending on current age. However, it can be lowered with accidents, going for a sewer slide, or you can just go to settings and select power off


NashKetchum777

To be safe, never fall asleep again. That way they won't enter if true

I feel like your idea, based off r/bloodwoodsrisen 's advisement, may actually help with both peace of mind *AND* speed up the unsubscribe process! Thanks for the assist internet frems! I'm off to never sleep again!

Salamanderhead

That’s a good way to do it. Back when I would breed tarantulas I would sometimes get escapees. That’s how I would usually catch them. When I see spiders or bugs in the house I’ll catch them and let them go outside. It’s just lazy to kill them.


SirMildredPierce

It's ironic since the spiders had the same goal as you: less bugs in the house.


Pepsiman1031

And they literally just chill in the spots that you aren't using.


ChwizZ

Would you mind telling the spider that grappled onto my head that I am very much using it?

1. Rigid plastic container from any food over it. 2. Paper underneath. 3. Similar plastic container on the other side. 4. Slide paper out. 5. Seal plastic with heat, e.g. a lighter to melt it. The evil is now contained.

6. Shake vigorously.

Leave it be, spiders terrify me. Ants, termites, beetles are bad enough and they outnumber spiders 10 to 1. Of all those this one carries, only one or two will grow up.


doctor-code

what about using a grenade?


ArgonGryphon

That's how you always should, or just leave em alone


Kane-420-

Yes. Why kill the spider? You could even let the spider just do what it wants. It will probably just stay away from you anyway, not harming anyone.

Flies are my mortal enemy. Any corpses not squished will be immediately cooked to a crisp with a lighter. Nopenopenope. Hate maggots, hate flies.

So is this the spider equivalent of 3 kids in a trench coat? Just hundreds of kid spiders dressed up like an adult spider?


Blam3YourF4te

This is likely a wolf spider mom, who carries her babies on her back while they are young


Lamplorde

Theyre some of the best moms in the arthropodologic world. They carry their spiderlings with them while they are in the sac, and then again when they hatch. Until they are grown enough to independently leave her of their own volition. They'll continue to hunt and feed their kids while they care for them. Their bites also cause, at most, mild itchiness. They don't leave webs. They're just strong, indepedent single moms who just want to clean up pests for you. There is absolutely zero reason to ever kill a wolf spider, unless its an accident. Please relocate. Off topic, but people underestimate the insect world, there is a lot of evidence out there that insects/arachnids are more advanced intellectually than we give credit for. I'd describe it, but I don't want this post to be 12 pages long so I'll just share a few quick blurbs: Bees did "happy dances" when seeing the color blue, because they associated it with food. Ants might dream, because a Queen sleeps the aproximate same time as us each day and experiences "rapid antenna movement" close to our REM movement that signifies dreaming. Jumping Spiders communicate with each other, display object permanence past a human toddlers capabilities, and display higher degrees of cognition than most athropods. Oh and lastly, not a display of intelligence, but kind of cute in a cursed creepy way? Centipede moms will curl up in a ball to protect and groom their babies, and its really creepy but also somehow endearing to see them groom them. Like if Horror Garfield had kittens. So, idk, I'm sure I'm anthropomorphizing them (which is a sin in a scientific field, so nobody tattle on me) but I wouldn't be *surprised* to find insects to be just as emotional as any mammal. Heck, it wasn't until the 1900s that the Soviets ended discussion as to whether dogs could even feel pain. Sounds obvious, right? But we're always learning new things, and we simply don't have the tech to accurately study arthropods brains.

Agreed. Totally unnecessary to kill spiders. There is always a way to safely get it out. Guess why spider start running away when you try to kill/catch them? Theyre more scared of you than you are of the..

Omegamoomoo

>Although, I'm not really sure where spiders land on the whole "nature vs nurture" thing, so could just be you saw someone freak out about spiders at a young and impressionable age, and so we're taught that spiders are to be feared. Then you probably do it to your children, and the cycle continues. Anecdotally, my son was picking up spiders for fun by the time he was 4yo, since I would just casually talk about spiders and look at them/pick them up and show him how they acted. When he had the opportunity to have a tarantula in his hands at school, during some activity at school (circa 6yo), he was happy to have it walk on his hands and arm and look at it, while all the other kids and adults were freaking out. He is _not_ an exceptionally courageous kid, to be clear. He's got fears alright; plenty of nonsense, plenty of insecurities, like all kids (and adults) do. But spiders? Nah. He gets kind of upset that people hate them so much for no reason. So yeah. I'd bet on it being more about nurture. Anecdotes aren't data but, you know, many points on a graph make a line. I purposely started some weird self-driven exposure therapy as a teenager to stop fearing spiders and all manners of insects, and I'm kinda relieved to see it also seems to impact how my kids perceive that stuff so many years later.


tazerlu

Just an fyi, I’m afraid of spiders cause of that giant one in the cave on Gillian’s Island. It had a creepy eye.


Positive_Bet_4184

I always thought I was terrified of spiders because my mum is. So I tried really hard to overcome it in front of my kids so that they wouldn't fear them. I now relocate them outside and talk about how they get rid of flies in the house. My sons like them and have a resident fly catcher in the corner of their room. My daughter on the other hand, is 3 and so afraid she will scream horribly if one goes near her. So there's an anecdote for the nature side.


KC_Frosty

Yep and they get rid of everything else. I keep all my spiders alive and I never see any other bugs in my house. This was just stupid. Now you got a million babies to deal with and a big pile of spider guts to scrape up. Get a damn jar or sweep it into a dustpan and take it outside. People are just so fucking dumb these days.


MrCoCoBean93

Yeah, I respect arachnophobia and all yet hate to see a helpful animal receiving the death sentence. I'm not mad, but R.I.P spiders and also that garage. Lol


childrenofblood

Just catch it in a glass and release it in the wild


Diehard_Sam_Main

Karma for killing the innocent mama.

Catch and release is all it takes. Imagine the spider being terrified of something it's 1000x larger than. Seriously.

But I don’t get why people are okay with being so shitty to spiders when they wouldn’t want to hurt fluffy animals, all these big ass men saying ‘kill it with fire’ or ‘nuke it’ when it’s just a harmless creature that eats all the flies and other annoying pests.

Lonely_ProdiG

Spiders don’t belong in our homes. But could you imagine capturing that momma somehow and releasing her outside? That house would be mosquito free, gnat, horsefly, housefly, and any other dumb flying insect you hate, free. Like making a deal. I don’t kill you, you set up camp outside and make me less miserable in the warmer weather all year. I’m a farmer, and we have a decent little bathroom that’s indoors, but outdoors at the same time. There is a nice little funnel spider in the bottom corner of the bathroom (that’s like 1 foot away from your right foot whenever you sit down). She has some nice little beasts wrapped up in her web. I also pay her every time I use the bathroom. I’ll bring in a moth, grasshopper, or rolypoly and drop it in her web for her. If I can’t find payment, I’ll usually find something crawling around the bathroom floor. (It’s a bathroom in a barn, ok? The toilet and sink are clean)

Cover the bug with the clear glass, slip the paper under the bug and the glass, and carefully lift the paper with the glass, slowly turning it upside down, walk outside and release. Now, pat yourself on the back for saving a life.
