        Spider bro

        They can’t look extraordinarily deadly though if they don’t wanna be taken outside - any daddylonglegs lookers are 100% safe to corner chill

      I have off-limits places: where I sleep and in the shower. If I can’t reach them and they’re there… unfortunately they get the hand vac. Otherwise, it’s time to bring out and index card and Dedicated Spider Cup. It’s outside if it’s not winter, and basement if it’s winter.

      Hum… I tried to maintain that philosophy until they attracted a wanderer that I was unable to get rid of for 2 days until it ate all the spiders. Also, one of them attacked me, what wasn’t a big issue, but I prefer not to happen again.

      Now I kill them all.

      Same here, although they’re not catching much of the current infestation of Maple/Boxelder bugs.

      I like their look and dopey panicked movements when they notice you watching them, but the cute looks get old when there’s 20 sunbathing on the wrong side of the kitchen window.

      I had one plop off the ceiling onto my shoulder while I was working a few weeks ago. Took a pic and sent it to my daughters to remind them spiders are our friends and then took him off my shoulder and put him on the ground.

      My philosophy… if he’s surviving in my house, he’s eating bugs and providing a service.

    House-dwelling spiders are usually adapted to life inside the house (likely cave-dwelling species). Their survival rate outside is not very good.

      Does not apply so much in warm weather countries. All the spiders that come into our house are also easily found loving life outside (Australia). I just gently move them out, except daddy long-legs, generally let some of them stay as pest control.

        Ahhh okay. I live in Canada and I frequently see spiders roaming my house when it’s well below freezing outside. I’m pretty confident they will not survive out in the snow.

        Jumping spiders are very nice pets, a lot of people have it as such. They are smart enough to recognise their owner and even to learn tricks.
