To kill all the spiders in my shed

[goodgodlemon]

I'm not usually afraid of spiders but I'm in the process of moving everything out of my shed to put into a new one and I'm worried I'm going to get bitten by a nasty false widow if accidently disturb one. There's so much mess in the shed that I'm worried I won't see them. AIBU to just use a spray in there to kill them. I do feel bad but also really like unpunctured pain free skin.

Cover your skin, so long sleeves, socks and trousers, and wear a pair of gloves.
Put the stuff out in the garden to give them time to escape. You’ll be fine.
Unless this is a drip feed and you’re in Aus 😂

No - not in Australia! In the south of the UK. Good tips - I've got gloves - putting stuff in the garden first is a good idea!

I plug in a hairdryer on an extension, switch it to cold and give it a good blast - then the spiders run away!

Please don't kill them.

They do good. Eating all the bugs you also don't want around.

As suggested, leave the things out for a bit. They will soon move on to a safer spot.

Don't kill them. Put on some gloves and stop being a sook!

I'm in australia and I wouldn't even contemplate killing a shed full of spiders minding their own business.

If you do, prepare yourself for a swarm of flies and mosquitoes to descend on your house.

That's not me cursing you like Moses cursing the Egyptians lol, just practical fact - the spiders are working hard eating them for you!

Oh FGS just leave them alone!

Yep and the added advanrage is no freeloaders get a free trip to the new shed.

Maybe spray some peppermint oil or fragrance around the shed, they absolutely hate it and should leave

Please don't kill them 😔

And a woolly hat.

Please don't ask why I make this suggestion.

Never got bitten, though. Just a near heart attack.

YABVU. Don't kill them. You're very unlikely to get bitten and they're so important to the ecosystem. Put some gloves on if you're that worried.

Don't kill them

If you scare them away they might run into your house!

ok hat a good idea too. I'll take the nasty stuff out of my Amazon basket!
