spider decision help me!

They can build a new web in a couple hours.

They don't LIKE it, but it isn't much of an inconvenience for them to be moved.

Have you discussed your plans with the spider to see what an appropriate thing to do is? From my experience, spiders are very understanding. Not like those cockroaches. They don't believe nothin you say! Keep me posted!

PC gone nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you've never been told that if you want to live and thrive, let the spider run alive? If you kill one, they wait till you're asleep then all its relatives take their revenge.

Hence my hesitation to destroy his web.

Is he/she only hanging in the web trying to get some insects to feed him/her?

You can destroy the web but in a few hours there will be a new one...

The spider is much smaller and more afraid than you...

If the spider disturbs you, just catch the animal in a glass and bring him outside...

Scoop up the spider with a newspaper and a bowl or jar, and take the spider outdoors, or to a covered patio or garden room.

Vacuum the little fucker up and don't worry about it.

i'm not afraid of him at all, and he leaves the web and goes to and from the other stairs.He's actually quite sweet.If it wasn't "dirty" to have a massive web on the stairs, I would leave him there.

If only he had made the web on the wall or ceiling, I would let him stay there.

Why don't you address the problem directly with the spider, just ask him or her.

Let me know what she says!

he said he would only negotiate via the web, but i don't have his email address.

got it [email protected]

Relocation.

Damn. Imaginary world problems...

The web is not the spider's "home", just a temporary bug snare. Once spider is relocated, it will spin another one.

If you really want to make spider happy, situate him or her near an outdoor porch light.

:spider:

looks real to me

I have a huge spider living in my garage. It has woven like a cocoon and I can see it sitting in there. Sometimes when I open the dorr I can see it runing across the floor and into his cocoon. I just can't kill it, but I'm thinking of taking up a monthly rent.

No matter what, she has her escape...

Spiders are cool, but I be damned if I'll hesitate squashing it or it's web if it's in my way.

:rsthjyggjjetr:

catch it and relocate it

simple

it'll be quite happy making a new home somewhere else

Unless it's a dangerous spider, just relocate the spider. Remember they kill flies. Which is a good thing.

you'll be lucky

i hear he's a bit of a fly boy

:neat:

if real, thank you for being kind to your 8legged room mate.

absolutely real.i'll try to find an image that looks like him as i don't have a camera

Who decides what's "dirty"? Making a web is a natural thing for a spider. Is cleaning houses for humans too?

I'm not sure...

if you allow the spider to remain unmolested and breed, the next generation will feel a sense of entitlement. They will slowly take over your whole home, gradually forcing you into a smaller and smaller area. You must work more just to afford a new home. And since you have less time to clean, other bugs will arrive, feeding off your scraps. Which, in turn, is feeding the spiders, who breed more.

When you finally escape the devastated area, eventually another group of spiders will show up and it begins again.

The cycle of dependency continues...

So, in short, control your borders, eliminate the spider, and STOP THE MADNESS!

can't find one exactly like him, he's about as big as a grape, jet black, perfectly in proportion legs to body and doesn't have a bobbly body.He looks real nice.

I catch and release unharmed all critters in my home to outside. Would you expect less if you found yourself unwanted in anothers home?

I once rented a cabin in the Adirondack mountains. I woke up during the middle of the night to find two very large spiders descending to each of the separated twin beds.
I don't believe that their dinner plans included insects.
