Spiders live or die?

[noviapriani]

I let them live. I have pet tarantulas though so I have a soft spot for little spiders. Sometimes I don't even bother letting them outside. They are free mosquito control and they don't bug me so whatever.

Spiders kill other spiders. When spiders come into contact with one another, a gladiator-like competition frequently unfolds – and the winner eats the loser. If your basement hosts common long-legged cellar spiders, this is why the population occasionally shifts from numerous smaller spiders to fewer, larger spiders. That long-legged cellar spider, by the way, is known to kill black widow spiders, making it a powerful ally.

I have false widows in and around my property in UK, a few have come in the house.  Here is one from other day:




Apparently they aren't dangerous but if they bite can still give a tennis ball size swelling < what if one bites on your eye ball right?

My default is: Normally i try and save any living animals.

I have about 20 baby ones around a window outside what would u do? (see poll)

Let it live. Spiders eat mosquitoes and other pests. They are our friends. Catch him and let him free. After all, it has a family too.

Spiders are just like us. We are born, we live, and we die.

Spiders are just like us. We are born, we live, and we die.

We kill, we capture things, we eat.

If you were the size of a spider and he was the size of a man, do you think he would even hesitate before biting you in half?
He is your enemy, it is the natural order of things.

Here, we have three rules:
1) If jumps, it dies.
2) If has visible fangs, it dies.
3) If moves, it dies quickly.

I rather like that although on my property I leave the snakes alone because they eat lots of mice and bugs.

Step 1: See Spider
Step 2: Light entire house on fire.
Step 3: Restart life over.

I generally don't kill spiders if I find them in the house, then again, around where I live there really isn't any spiders that can do any damage.  We do get the odd black widow, but I've never seen one in the house.  

I used to get wolf spiders where I used to live, at least I think that's what they were.  They used to creep me out, they get pretty big and you could hear them run across the floor.

Just leave them be for the most part.  If they infest you're house though, it's a whole new ball game and I'd be calling an exterminator asap.

You're Canadian, of course you don't kill spiders.

I respect every creature so I will say, live

[Recuperate]

Kill them with fire

[sydneyjames]

I'd keep em alive unless they started biting! otherwise I'd probably just try to catch em and throw them out

[bitsmichel]

As much as people say they do not harm, they can get very annoying. I used to have a spider in the toilet, you keep having the feeling this guy is always watching.
Put sulfuric acid/gas in your house, they do not like this kind of stuff and will leave the house, gasses is probably the most friendly way.

Had another one crawling up the bath today, apparently they are amaurobius spiders not false widows.  however both the bastards can bite you but not usually aggressive.

lots of votes to kill the spiders though i see :/

[activecoin]

So what are you doing about them?

[BitCoinNutJob]

So what are you doing about them?

Still undecided right now.

I do have both false widows and lace weavers spiders. 

I think most here would nuke the house if they had too many and they became pests,  im not sure i have too many adults right now but i will by the time the babies outside get big no doubt.  This is posing me a moral dilemma, i gave up killing animals years ago.
