What do you do with spiders at this time of year?

[Mygardenandme]

I've just caught 2 disco spiders in our shower. It's too cold to put them outside so I just released them into another room. We get a lot of spiders, I dont really want to be keeping them but equally I dont want to kill them by leaving them freeze outside.

Disco spider - cellar spider. They spin and jiggle if you get too close so they look like they are dancing.

Field study centres run all sorts of courses as well. I’ve not been brave enough to go yet but they sound so interesting.

This sounds like something every house needs

I leave the cellar ones, they’re no bother. The cats seem to take care of the rest!

I ignore the cellar spiders, or just knock their web down so they scurry away somewhere. I’m an arachnaphobe but those flimsy ones don’t bother me. Large ones go up the hoover but hopefully we’re past that time of year

I get DH to put them outside. They’ll find a crack somewhere. Nature is tough.

Love this 🕷️

I suck them all up, I'm constantly have to hoover up cobwebs everywhere so I'm definitely not keeping them and house spiders can't survive outside. I don't expect being hoovered is much worse than being eaten so I don't worry about it.

Leave them to it - I always try to warn them to stay high up or the cats will eat them!

Same as always. Nothing.

I vacuum up any spiders I come across. I don’t put them outside because I think they will only come back inside again.
