What do you do with house spiders?

No, not those huge hairy scary ones. In our house it's my husband's job to catch them and deport them to the back garden.

But the thin, leggy house spiders.

I don't mind them really, but I think they've been getting jiggy, as I've noticed loads more lately. They're not just in the corners on the ceiling. There's now some with webs behind the toilet, in the kitchen cupboards, and I found one the other morning in my cereal box.

I don't want to kill them. I appreciate their bug catching abilities. But I have been vacuuming up their webs as there's so many.

How do you deal with yours?

I'm the same. I catch and release most of them.

The only ones I kill that happen to make their way into the corners of my home are false widows as they bite and cause skin reactions and other nasty conditions, so they will get boot.

All spiders in my house are called Legless and they all get carefully evicted from their (my) house to somewhere far more palatial (back garden)

Apparently house spiders only live indoors and those outside only live outside.

If you put the ones from inside your house outside they'll just find their way back in

Also smaller newer houses have up to 50 lurking about. Bigger older places can have thousands...

Sorry but I kill them.

I’m scared shitless of them. I’ll dangle off the top of the shard, cuddle a snake, skydive, go caving. Pretty much anything but be close to a spider.

Normally we have quite a few big ones but I haven't seen them this year.

Mostly this year we have the big spindly white ones that you don't spot at first.

I don't really do anything about them. I'm too busy zapping flies.

I mostly leave them be. My sons are both terrified of spiders so I'll remove the ones from their rooms and pop them just outside the back door knowing full well that they'll be back in by tomorrow.

The ones with long thing legs and small thin bodies are pholcids (or pholdicae), often called cellar spiders.

I try to take them out alive if my wife or daughter aren’t happy about them, otherwise I keep them around as sometimes they’ll eat spiders.

Leave them to do their thing. If they decide to go into cat territory then that's their choice and nature must take it's course.

I leave them alone these days. Unless they are in the bath, then they get the whirlpool of death because I'm not brave enough to move them elsewhere.

They have a habit of joining me in the shower recently. I had three fall on me in the shower and one hide in my bath towel all in the same week

Then Yesterday, the one that was up in the corner watching me shower, decided to start trying to make its way down, I can only assume to help me wash my back as it was reaching out with its two front legs. I got out and then went back in the bathroom a few mins later and he was back in the corner, so was definitely trying to get me! little beggars!!

Yeah most house spiders can’t survive outside, they’ve evolved with out homes as we have. Our home is a 16 century cottage. It’s full of spiders, I let the cellar spiders stay where they are, as they prey on other spiders, the garden spiders go back outside, any house spiders are moved so my partner won’t spot them and scream. If they are spotted they’re moved to the feed store to live in peace. As for False Widows and Noble False Widows, if I can move them I will. If I can’t… Henry the Hoover helps me.

As I live on the top floor of a block of flats I leave all ma windows open 24/7 this time of year. There's a tiny spider in ma bedroom widow, feather dusted his web a couple of months ago, next day the web was back as if I'd never even touched it

Most of the time I have to evict them as my kids freak out big time.

I tend to catch them in a glass, cover it and then take them out to the garage.

Must have a population of thousands in there now!

Spiders are great. I say hello, tell them they’re welcome, and leave them to it. I’ll take pictures of them and send those to friends who are also fond of spiders.

I will relocate them if they’re somewhere I’m concerned they may come to harm, but otherwise they’re very welcome. Fascinating and important creatures.

A couple of years ago, during the mad tabloid flap about false widows, I found one *in my shirt* while I was getting dressed for the office. I made myself late for work by taking them somewhere safe and isolated where they wouldn’t be murdered by a rabid Daily Mail reader.

Made peace with mine when I moved in. This house has been here since 1700s. The spiders have been here for many generations.

If I have to, I relocate them outside, using a cup and cardboard.
