If You Saw a Huge Spider in Your House, What Would You do?

the word "Huge" here is subjective, "one folk's gnat is another's behemoth". Did you know that the ones called (in my region) called
'Daddy Long Legs' (a Crane Fly to Brits) have MORE toxic venom than Black Widows, just their fangs can't penetrate our skin.

A Canadian correspondent has heard people say that stepping on a spider will bring some catastrophe like bad weather or a broken back. Some Asians consider finding a spider in the house to bring good luck. There's a PRO-CON with EVERYTHING.

Step 1: Determine if poisonous. If yes, kill. If no, move to step 2.
Step 2: Determine if interfering with my daily life (top corner of dining room does not constitute interference) If yes, relocate to out-of-doors. If no, move to step 3.
Step 3: Monitor web for abandonment and/or unsightly insect carcasses. Sweep out on occasion.
Step 4: Relocate spider when planning for guests. Most freak out and I don't need that.

Put a plastic container over it, slide a sheet of paper underneath and move it outside.

OMG! 8 legs? Kill it, kill it with fire!!!!!!

It is the most pervasive problem I have in my house. A constant problem and I don't like spraying pesticide because of my dogs.

aha or...depending if im scared or not, bring it outside.

I would get it and put it in my garden

SCREAM "OMG MOM (IF MOM WAS NOT HOME SCREAM DAD) THERE IS A GIANT SPIDER THE SIZE OF MY FIST KILL IT KILL IT OMG KILL THIS THING MOM" AND THEN RUN OUT SIDE SCREAMING

Use the old card 'n' cup methord.

or maybe run out the house and let him have it

Leave it to roam around. As long as it doesn't bother me, I won't bother it. I've actually had the same kind of spiders in my house before that is in the main photo of this poll. I won't deny that they are scary looking, but I didn't bother them and they just went on their merry way.

Nothing has a right to have eight legs!!!

I would scream and run away. Then I'd tell my parents to get it and they'd probably sort it out.

I prefer not to kill

After many hours of contemplating and normalizing my heartbeat, I get something non-lethal to shoo them out of the house, and that's what I do, I shoo them out the door. There will be no squishing of bugs by my hand. Yuck.

and SCREEEAAAM!!!!

If I'm on my own then I just ignore it and let it get on with it's life.

However if my wife or daughter are around then it's catch and release.

Depending on the species, kill it or cook it.

My cats will handle it first!

This

But seriously, I'd must probably jump, yell, and find someone else to kill it.I hate spiders.

ok i would run away screaming and crying,,would have to find something big to kill it with
i hate spiders,,,

yep thats what i will do,,,,lol

Capture and show it my friend,then we'll see what happens.

I'm not going to lie... if I see a spider in my house it must die... but if it's not in my house I don't really bother with it.

Catch it and put it outside, we need spiders

I would get my clear plastic container and my laminated Science cheat sheet and use these items to capture the spider, Then I would release the spider in to my bushy ivy in the backyard. ----- Of course if it were a smaller poisonous recluse or black widow, I would whip out the RAID and annihilate it.

well i would scream and be freaking out and when i calm down i'll get someone to kill it for me

Spiders don't bother me,

unless it's a black widow, in which case

I'd squash it, in a heartbeat, as I've done in the past...

What DOES bother me are my loud mouth, girlie- neighbors, who,

just five minutes ago, threw a screaming hissy fit, over a spider OUTSIDE !

Holy Crap, I thought they were bit by a rattler the way they were freaking out ;p

I almost jumped out my bedroom window, to run to thier rescue, but THEN stopped ~

Three of them, surrounding it, all screaming hysterically, 'step on it, step on it'

and NOT surprisingly WOULDN'T, let alone, just walk away ( smh, an'wt? )

Better to just stand there an'scream bloody freakin' murder, huh girls ;p

Man, I swear, I heard less noise from them the day I found them

paralyzed from fear, over the sight of a dead pigeon

laying in the middle of the pathway ~

I had to pick it up, and move it

so, they'd snap out of it...

ummmmm... HELLO !

You live in Montana,

Get a grip, or

better yet,

MOVE !

ugh ~

IT DEPENDS HOW BIG IT IS

"Huge" is a relative term. To my wife a spider the size of a DIME is "huge".

True that! I have stories.......

sooner the better.

I'd find a huge kan and let it go into it , and thene go far as I can and release it in the trees or on the rocks wher he can't go to or no one sees at.....I'm a good BOY :D

I would let it sting me, to make me a Spider-woman!
