My 14-year-old daughter would not only catch it & put it outside, but talk to it as well. We keep a small box handy to catch spiders to put them outside (we don’t kill ’em; they eat skeeters) and I once watched as she talked the spider into the box!
Michelle used to call me, “Help! There’s a spider in my apartment.” One day, she figured out how to handle them. “I put my finger on it, and push till I hear a pop.” “Michelle,” I said. “There’s an easier way.”
The solution is so simple. Use the hose vac with the extension tubes, sneak up on the ravenous spider, and suck her up. Then have an unsuspecting dupe empty the vac afterwards.
Get the broom, fly swatter, etc and take care of him. The humane thing is to go open an outside door and use the broom to “cajole” him toward the opening. He’ll get the message.

Spiders, I’m okay with – it’s cockroaches I can’t stand!

Last weekend 1 mouse (didn’t look a bit like Mickey) and 1 roach…none at home.

My sister used to be an aracnophobic until my nephew got a tarantula. Now she can at least stay in the same house with them.

Jimbo’s probably a little higher. And he at least feels he’s safer.

Peekaboo should be able to handle the spider, whether she will is another question.

Rose is caught in the wrong side of web. Jimbo is no good due to arachnophobic. Situation alarming!

Oh, come on, Rose. You knew that calling Jimbo wouldn’t do you any good. Or were you just warning him not to come upstairs?

A huge spider is as big as a dog or larger. They are our friends. Some may even kill and eat mice!

Must really be a problem when both are afraid of spiders…at least my husband is not afraid of them.
