Our homes are occupied by house spiders that are mostly harmless and maybe beneficial. Hard to see for the most part except they leave signs in the form of cobwebs. For the last few days a small spider, a quarter of an inch, has been milling about the ceiling of my bathroom. Today it was in the shower area by the wall and hung down on the web while I was showering, probably enjoying the heat and moisture just like I was. Could have killed it but didn't. Most of the time I let them live unless on the bed or kitchen counter and they go away eventually. Would you have killed it?
Have only ever killed poisonous spiders, or those with a bad bite, like whitetails. House spiders sometimes get killed by mistake, when cleaning, or I swallow them in my sleep! never on purpose.
No, spiders are beneficial, interesting and I love watching how they move.
If it was a yellow sac I would have killed the bleep out of it(indoors OR OUT). Everything else in my region gets to stay, minus basement spiders who just have babies to have something to eat & creep us out.
Jumping spiders are given utmost respect. Those are either put outdoors to increase chances of finding something to eat or allowed to stay, and my daughter sometimes makes pets out of jumpers.
I love jumping spiders! This is the most common British species, Salticus scenicus, also known as the zebra spider or the dancing spider
/X( ;::; )/X\ - Sorry we're scary, we mean you no harm! Just wanna eat some bugs, fren
Spiders eat the other insects. And provide entertainment for the cats.
Unless it was a poisonous one, in which case I would have killed it.
The top ten poisonous spiders can sometimes kill within hours. Luckily I don't live a country that has them.
I name the spiders I find in my house
LOL For years my girl named everything "Gerry"....
My Grandmother told me to never kill a spider. She told me when Jesus was a baby and hiding in a cave with Mary and Joseph from Roman soldiers were looking for male Hebrew babies, that the soldiers were going to go into the cave. When they walked toward the cave they stopped and said, "nobody has been in that cave for a long time, look at all the spiderwebs covering the entrance , no need to go in there".
LOL!!!!
I only usually kill them if they're dangerous to humans, otherwise I leave them alone or release them back outside.
I would have shot the spider. lol I hate spiders completely, found this one in my house one day, i went and woke up my neighbor at 2 am in the morning screeming like a little girl lol she had to come over and kill it.
Looks like a big Garden Spider. Had one one year outside on window ledge. Went to look one day and just a few pieces left, bird got it.
well i almost pulled my 9 out to shoot it was huge!
That's horrible, but it doesn't look poisonous, just pregnant.
well its been dead for a 1.5 years now lol i hate spiders.
