Depends really.

Big Spider - KILL! I pick up the most solid object I can find, and squish the eight-legged thing to spider-jam.
Small Spider on the opposite wall of the room - "Oh, a spider. So what"
Small Spider suddenly crawling over the book I'm reading, or my computer screen - Bye Bye.
Spider making a web in my room - Nighty-nighty...

I like the fact that you swallow seven spiders in your sleep each year. :p

And Dean, the fear of spiders is called Arachnophobia.

I hate spiders, but I also hate killing them. If it's not in my room or around my sleeping area, I leave it alone, but if it's in my room I have someone come kill it. :lol:

Spiders make me cringe, there's no way I'm getting close enough to it to kill it.

Crane Flies are worse than spiders as they can fly round and feel worse when they crawl on you. :p

^ You do realise that arachnid mothers probably tell their children about you as a way to get them to to eat their flies tidily.

Don't liek spiders much, even though my house is crawling with them. Crane files are much more irritating though.

I opened my bag to pack for college this morning and huge one came out. It scared the ****e out of me. I don't know how it got in there to begin with.

I heard that it was 7 in your lifetime. In any case its just another one of those crazy facts that spread around but aren't really true (Like the one about being able to see the great wall from the moon). How would you find out something like that anyway, did they pump someone's stomach for a year, and find 7 spiders in the process?

Back to the topic, I leave them alone, or sometimes get it in a tissue and drop it down the loo.

Don't laugh at me but..... If i see one i just can't get close enough to kill it.... so i leave it alone....

In fact so alone i move rooms or leave the house entirely! Or if it's night and I'm up late i throw a massive bowl over it and put some books on top just in case (you never know it might be some sort of super spider) Then my mum releases it in the morning....

I love spiders, I usually enjoy scooping them up and putting them down my little brother's top (though my mum tells me not too as it could 'traumatize' him) =D. I just tend to let them be, they're not doing any harm and they're keeping the flies away.

Size-dependant, i'll kill them ****ing dead! Although, if they get too big, someone else is ordered in to remove them for me, I really do hate spiders *shudder*. If, in some exceptional circumstance, i'm alone and some freak-sized one shows itself, the hoover's the other option. Then though, the hoover has to go outside so the spider doesn't crawl back out and free itself into my house again!

Our house is quite spider-proofed though, we have ultra-sonic pulse machines plugged in in every room, which doesn't kill them, it just stuns them and makes them very sluggish. I've not seen one run in our house in ages, they just lazily wander around.

Me & Lucy are going to be great when we're living together though, neither of us capable of dealing with them! I'm planning on buying a cat so that it'll eat them.

Spider’s well I’ll kill them no matter what size they are; in my opinion I can’t stand them there disgusting things in the company of 8 legs. I try to avoid coming into close contact with one.

We never really get spider’s at home, the only time will see the odd 1 or 2 is when it’s cold outside and they come inside to keep warm.

^Same as.

It depends on the size.

Small to medium,then I'll bravely put a glass over it,slip a bit of card underneath,and put it outside.

But for those great big hairy ones,then out comes the hoover,and hopefully the shock of being sucked up a vacuum is enough to kill it.

Obviously nobody on here has the heard the old English saying that my nan used to say

"If you wish to live and thrieve let a spider run alive"

I always think it bad luck to kill a spider even though I am not fond of them so try to save them by chucking them outside.

It depends. If there are other insects in the house, I leave it alone in the hopes that it will get the numbers down. If there's nothing else in the house the spider has to die.

If I can help it, I get Marc to put it out the window, if not, I set the cats on it.

Cats absolutely love to play with spiders and rip their legs off. All I do is wait for the crunch as the thing gets eaten.... Natures way.

If it's a big scary looking thing it goes outside with the assistance of a glass and a piece of card. I don't mind the fairly small ones though any in the bedroom get evicted. Can't stand the thought of them crawling over me. I actually get very freakout by dead ones more than live ones!
