(I've done this before. )

1. omg! so funny. (your spider got out of that "trap" didn't it?) n/t

[frogmarch]

3. It did. I slid the

upside down cup w/spider onto a sheet of paper to give the cup a lid, then I took it all outside, removed the paper lid and gave the cup a shake.

5. that's great. i would have thought the spider just kind of slipped through between the

cup and the wall. congrats!

[frogmarch]

7. He did the first

couple of times, but I finally got him safely and securely cupped. I had to try the paper-sliding part a few times before he ended up on the right side of the paper. It took a while, but it was worth it

2. The correct procedure for inside spiders is:

1. Catch it in a cup.
2. Talk to it telling it that he/she can't possibly find enough food to live on in the house.
3. Deposit said spider outside into some bushes.
4. Wash glass.

8. Wake up Mom and Dad

Ask them to whap it with a shoe.

Straight from 1977!

14. That's pretty much what I do...

4. Or...

Find a copy of today's newspaper
Smash the ugly critter with newspaper
Clean up blood and guts
Leave the body outside as a warning to other spiders
Go about your day.



Spiders are loners. They will not be missed.

6. "Leave the body outside as a warning to other spiders"

9. Maybe spot paint the wall?

Be careful not to flash it!

Just a suggestion (or did you mean the spider?)

10. OMG I CAN'T stop laughing.............HILARIOUS!!

[csziggy]

11. Vacuum it

[Glorfindel]

12. Leave it alone. Spiders are your friends.

Besides, they're kinda cute.

13. If I can't use toilet paper,

I'd either use a broom or buy some type of spray that spiders dislike (such as peppermint). Another thing I'd do is do more cleaning around the house, considering that spiders tend to like messy environments.
