Please people please don't kill spiders just have fun capturing them with a cup and a piece of paper and move em outside!
Our rooms are so hot in sheltered accommodation that spiders who come in literally dry out & stick to the walls . If there were a live one I would be able to do this but we seem extremely insect unfriendly and are protected by trees and a high walled garden - I guess because we are mostly old here we hav e the heating on and also the commmunal laundry is pumping out heat a lot - all week plenty of little ones in the garden though, but nothing exotic or big. Maybe thats just Northern ireland ?
I will not rescue a yellow sac however, inside or out.(leave a track of bite marks on my kid, eat my monarch cats I'm rearing, you will have a lifelong enemy)
Everyone else is safe (in my area, s.e. mich)
Everything else here is cool, and jumping spiders get special treatment. My girl having made many of them pets, given names, some epoxied into pendants when they pass.
Yep. Spiders are beneficial for the most part also jumping spiders will chase a laser pointer and it's pretty amusing.
Like some people have said, leave the spiders alone. They are beneficial in the house (unless they are deadly venomous of course). If you must move house spiders, move them to the basement or a storage room or garage, some place away from people, if you aren't comfortable with them around. I'm a lover of all spiders and would do no harm to any of them.
I tell people this all the time. Spiders keep down all the other more annoying (and dangerous) bugs.
ok basement spiders are another I've a low threshold for. I'm convinced they propagate just to have something to eat. shudder
Several years ago I had a horrible bug problem in my house. They were flying bugs, much smaller that regular house flies, but larger than gnats. Almost like little fat moths. Anyway, they were attracted to lights, particularly the lights over the dining room table. Well, a good little spider set up camp in the light fixture and lived like a king for several days, if not a couple weeks.
Also, it may be the case that killing spiders make the spider genetic pool sneakier and more deadly.
