yeah, it started these past few days, I just kill those I see are in the house though- I didn't want to kill them before but then I saw more and more of them and they make a mess with their webs and it makes the house dirty and sometimes they live in the appliances. So I just kill them when I see one, I still feel hesitant sometimes though.. is it right that I do this?

I will do the same if they get more and more and dangerous species. If they are just one or two and will bring no harm I will leave them do whatever they want.(^^) Usually I don't kill them as they are not dangerous. But if they get more and have possibility to make the house mess with its webs I will not kill them but I will evict it in a good way. Spiders are not like rats/mice or cockroach. I hate those other guys even more~(^^)

Oh, but wouldn't they just come back? The spiders usually love t live in homes where they won't get wet.

Before they were just a few but then maybe because I did not do anything to stop their growing which is why they became numerous already, and I even see baby spiders crawling about. What can I do to evict them in a good way?

My brother will collect them all in a plastic and let them free far away out of the house.(^^)

I freak out when i see a spider. I have a corner in my bedroom that is away from windows and doors and yet I will occasionally have a spider show up there. A couple months ago I had one and totally freaked. I would lay in the early hours unable to sleep with one eye on the spider. If he moved-- you're right--I freaked. My granddaughter came over and she tried to kill it but it came out into the ceiling out of the corner and 'I was afraid it would fall on my bed so I had her quit. Then she called her friend in and he just reached up and killed it into a tissue and took it out. Men are good for something. hehe

About the size of a quarter when coiled in the corner. Then it stretches out and starts moving and is about twice that size. Oooooh!

We are being invaded by white spiders here in Melbourne at the moment, they can be very dangerous. A friend of mine was bitten not so long ago and had his finger amputated because of it so one must be aware of what type of spiders you have around...

Wow.. that is really scary. i think I have seen a really little white spider once. But the spiders we have here are the common ones, just small brown ones, not really harmful. I think the black one outside are the ones which are poisonous.

I don't kill spiders. they are useful to have around as they eat pests like flies. and, although this is not the reason I don't kill them, it is considered bad luck to kill a spider. I don't kill them because I don't think I have a good reason to kill them. if they are in a location where they are at risk of being harmed, I catch them and put them outside. I don't think it's really fair to kill spiders. especially in the UK where our spiders are safe. I suppose if you had a poisonous spider in your house you might feel differently, but here, the spiders don't do us any harm, so why should we harm them in return.

Yeah, they can be quite helpful for eating some small insects, but we don't have flies inside the house though, we have screens. And they have just become quite many, everywhere room I look there is a spider. And if I throw them out, they'll just come back in.

Hello lady, They are dangerous, sometimes my helper would quote me for being afraid of one. but she has no idea how dangerous these critters can be.there are people who think killing spiders is wrong but in my end, it is an invasion and they could kill or disabled some parts of your body or even poisoned you

That is scary- I know some spiders are dangerous since they are poisonous but I don't really now what they look like. I have seen a lot of spiders and I don't know if i have to be afraid or not, unless they are black.. some say black ones are dangerous.

If you keep your house clean,dispose off the garbage everyday, then there is noreason why spiders or roaches should be there in your house.Once upon a time my house was full of roaches and spiders but not anymore.I got my house fumigated about 10 years back and now not a single spider or cockroach comes in.If they do they die immediately.There is no harm in killing any if you see them as they are pests and its not a sinful act that you are doing.God has created pests to make us grow in the habit of cleanliness otherwise they will invade our houses and make us miserable.

funnily enough, spiders are not attracted to dirt or rubbish. spiders don't only use dirty homes

I don't hate spider but if they are considered dangerous, I will get rid of them. Now, I am having new companion in my small room. I have a new friend, a large gecko that every time a sound at night. I am not afraid of geckos, because it is not dangerous. Usually, the animal will attack if they feel disturbed or animals were not being in good condition.

We don't have so much spiders in our house but whenever I see one, I don't hurt them. They're pretty much harmless. So I just let them hang in the windows outside. But whenever I see cockroaches, oh that's what I always want to kill! I have to kill it whenever I see one. Even though they'r harmless, they look so disgusting and they crawl every where with bacterias and germs. They're all dirty. Yuck.

I mostly used to not only spiders but also stupid cockroach. They are the real stupid creatures which I don't love. I mostly used to all of them which I see in my house. If we need good cleaned home we need to give good bye to those creatures. So I think killing them is not a bad thing.

If they are considered dangerous for you, why not? but if it could be evicted without killing, it would be better.

They are not dangerous at all, they just make the house dirtier, and I don't like lots of webs in my stuff. How can they b evicted without killing anyway? they just come back to the house whatever I do.

Normally I don't feel to kill spiders but when I am in a bad mood then I don't like spiders and I kill them if they are very close to me.

well, i see a spider here and there but nothing to the point of making everything dirty, except maybe in the basement where they tend to dwell easier and live longer. i will kill one if i see one cause the thought of one crawling on me when i sleep makes my skin crawl. i'm sorry if that is wrong but they just give me the creeps, they could bite you too in some cases and some are poisonous.
