Spider killing?

YEs, usually I let them be, specially beacuse they eat bugs, but whe they get so close, and they are big I have to say that I aske them to leave, and if they do not do it, I kill them or take them out!

With fire ants, I just kill them, because I am allergic to them!

I usually do. I don't mind spiders. I think they're kinda cute really. If I can I usually let them go outside.

Do I kill spiders everytime I see them? Yes and no. The daddy long legs that just sit in their webs in the corners I leave alone for a bit, but the webs get huge if they're left too long. If I see other types of spiders, though, yes, I kill them. I'm scared of spiders most of the time and I don't want them around. I know there's many I can't see (although, I could have done without hearing what you read, lol), but seeing one and knowing that it's still around (if it was left alive), scares me a lot. I get freaked out. So, those I kill or have my husband kill if I'm too scared to do it myself. I'd rather have bugs than spiders.

I know spiders are suppose to be good for getting rid of other bugs, but I'm with the other person who said "I would rather deal with the other bugs". I have Arachnophobia so I don't do well around spiders. When I see them in the house if I can get to my bug spray then I will kill them if not I will have someone else do it for me. Then I will have goose bumps for hours afterwards. I have been like this my whole life. There was one time when I was a kid that I had one of those really big house spiders in my bedroom. It was around bedtime and it came out of know where and I screamed. Well when I did it ran and hid behind my stuff where I couldn't see it. My parents came running and had to search for the spider until they killed it because I refused to go to bed until the spider was dead. It took my parents until almost 1 in the morning to find and kill the spider. So I am sorry, but if a spider gets in my house it will end up dead. Oh and I really didn't need to know about the 3 feet thing. LOL! I probably won't sleep tonight now.

I have a terrific fear and hatred of them, so I kill them every time I see them. Some of them are very poisonous if they bite you, and since I'm not sure which ones, I kill every one I see in my home. If they want to live outdoors, fine, just not in my home. About two weeks ago, I had a very large black spider in my shower, while I was trying to bath. Apparently, it was clinging to the shower curtain and dropped down as soon as I got in the shower. I totally freaked out and killed it on the spot.

I have a very simple bug policy: I go into their world, I'm fair game. They come into my world, they're going to die - unless my husband is there to escort them out. Or, unless their crickets, because supposedly, it's bad luck to kill crickets.

I also don't kill lady bugs or beetles, unless they look too close to a cockroach.

Everything else: Totally squashable if it's inside my house.

Well the thought of a spider crawling all over my body as I sleep gives me the chills! If I see one in my house I don't kill it, I try to pick it up gently with a kleenex and out it outside, I wouldn't sleep at nigght if I let them stay in the house.

Hi Stealthy, and no, I never kill them. When I am cleaning the spider webs at home and there are spiders in it I take a piece of paper and make sure to let them free out side the house. They are so good at catching flies, and these I really hate having in my house or around the house in the summer. I am also superstitious and like the Italians never kill spiders because they are known to bring cash in the household:) This cross spider photo I took in our garden.

Yeah I let them be. They're more scared of us than we are of them. Of course if it's a dangerous spider like a red-back then it is important to kill them as they pose a threat to any people/animals/kids that are around. If it's a spider like a Huntsmen I just leave them. In fact they eat all the cockroaches and creepy crawlies! To be honest people who scream and then proceed to attack spiders with a spray can of chemicals really annoy me. For goodness' sake it's only a spider!

if i see a spider i usually will leave it alone. unless it gets near me, i'll quickly walk away from where i am until it disappears. i wouldn't want it to start crawling on me or something. eww.
