It's that time of year folks. The spiders are coming inside to have more sex than we are!
I personally don't mind them, but I refuse to share a bath with one!
How do you react when you see a spider in your personal space?
Are you the one who removes them? Or do you have a nominated 'spider catcher' in your house? 🕷 |

I don’t like them 😬 but I’m better than I was. I’ll have to decide if I’m going to temporarily move out of the rooms I find them in or try to co exist. No way I’ll be able to remove them. Shudder. |

Not a fan. Not a fan at all.
Depending on shape, size and location, I will adopt one of the following policies: 1.ignore and peacefully coexist, 2.gently relocate outdoor where they belong, or -not without a pang of guilt- 3.stomp the fucker to a pulp. |

Spiders don't faze me. I remove them or kill them.
That being said, a spider has resisted all attempts at eviction from my car's rear view mirror on the passenger side. The same cobweb returns after a few days 😂 |

If you put them outside they just come back in again. House spiders evolved to live in caves so they seek enclosed spaces. You could try putting them in your shed or garage. Heard Chris Packham talking about this the other day. |

"Those of you removing spiders from the house and taking them outside are effectively giving them a death sentence. They won't survive outdoors and have come inside to be warm."
I agree, it's mean letting them suffer in the cold.
This is why I kill them inside in the warmth.

"I quite like spiders but Mr N isn't keen on them in the house so he'll eject them also if they get too near the tortoise she'd eat them. Neither if us is scared of them "
I have two tortoises, didn't realise they eat spiders...my cats are crap at it so will have to have a word with the shell lads |

Big ones terrify me. I hoover them up and pray to the suction gods not to let me down. I empty the hoover outside and give directions to the nearest wall.
If I don’t see them I don’t care. Just don’t advertise yourselves. |

There are a few suction gods on fab whose ears are burning. |
