To humanely squash massive spiders

[Ifyourawizardwhydouwearglasses]

They're huge, they're in my house, and I'm terrified of them. 3 in 2 weeks. Big ones.

I love animals, I feel really guilty but I just can't live with them. They're massive and they're really unusually fast and I'm constantly on edge in my own home.

So AIBU to squash and remove?

(I'm only squashing because DH away and I am SO scared that leaving them to go through the house to pop up another day is scarier than getting near enough to squash. Although it still takes about half an hour to work up to it)

:(

just grab a class and a piece of paper and chuck them outside

Too heavy for paper, they'd push their way out and climb up my arm.

And then come back in when they get chilly.

OH NOOOOOOO

IS IT SPIDER SEASON

Very bad karma to kill a living thing because you - a zillion times bigger than it - are indulging an irrational fear. Please do not do it. Put them outside.

Do it.

Despite me hating people that kill spiders I think you're funny hahaha

My brother was once convinced the spider in his room had doc martins on because he could 'hear every little spidey step it took'

YABU. Poor spiders.

Use the hoover! The hose sooks them up and 'disposes' of them instantly, less mess than a squash
BTW you will be told YNBU by the spider-loving-brigade on here, but I am PETRIFIED of them and will do anything to get them out of my house. My Dyson is my friend when I come across one!! Good luck....

Yabu

Not funny

I put large Pyrex bowl over and call neighbour or friend to remove.

I think you are cruel

You'll be told Y ARE BU*

Bloody autocorrect..

I would be worried that the squash would make a mess. I'd hoover it up.

Nooo - its bad luck!
Just set them free outside..

YABU In what way is squashing humane?

No, sorry. Any spiders in my house are fair game. I could not give a shit about killing them. DH is even more phobic than me.

If you want to live and thrive
Let a spider run alive.

Poor spideys

Don't kill the spider!!

IT WILL NOT HURT YOU!

And spiders eat all the flies. And flies land on and eat shit. And then vomit it up in your house.

Flies bad. Spiders good.

farfrom I agree with you and this is what I want to but I cannot. Cannot.

Is there an invention which makes it any easier? I can't Hoover them as first, it's mean and second, I'd have to throw the thing away as I'd never dare empty it.
Can't do the glass and paper as I can't be that close and it's not infallible.

I could do with a big long stick with a little suction cup on the end to suck them into and then put out the window. But this doesn't seem to exist? Anyone?

If you kill a spider their friends come for revenge.

It's too late for you now.

With a bloody great brick.

Can anyone google spider catchers for me? I can't as google tends to throw in a few shitscary pictures too for a giggle whenever you type spider.

Lakeland spider catcher. Can't link
on phone.

You can buy spider catchers on amazon - they let you catch it at arms length unharmed (the spider that is) no need to kill it.

I have a totally fab photo I took of a spider I could show you, if you wanted me to.

You're welcome

No don't do it. Aragog will come in the night for revenge. This is an absolutely true fact.

:( it's not doing you any harm. Put glass over and put it outside
