Do spiders return if you put them out?

Question

If you catch a spider and put it outside, will it just return at the first available opportunity? I always do this if i find a big spider in my room and was just wondering if it was a waste of time? Please don't tell me to kill them becuase that isn't an option for me! If they are small, I just leave them be.... but the bigger ones I'm not too comfortable with...

Answer 1

It is a good thing that you do not kill spiders unlike many people.

I am not sure if they will return back but I think what you can do is follow these steps -

You can remove a spider from inside your house by putting a jar over it. Then slip a piece of paper under the jar so that the opening is sealed, pick up the jar, and take the spider outside.

A broom is also a useful tool for moving a spider outside.

Preventing Spider Problems

There are many ways to make your home less appealing to spiders. If there are cracks in your foundation or around windows and doors, seal them up.

Check places where water pipes and electrical lines enter your house, and caulk any openings.

Keep woodpiles and debris away from your house.

In storage areas, put boxes up off the floor and away from walls.

Seal boxes with tape to keep spiders from living inside them. In general, cleaning up clutter will mean you have fewer spiders.

Pruning vegetation away from your house and keeping the area next to the foundation clear will also make your house less attractive to spiders.

Outdoor lighting sometimes attracts insects, which in turn attracts spiders. You can move outdoor lighting away from windows and doors if this is a problem around your home.

Hahah. I am 100% sure that the spider won't come back in the house. Just remember to close the door :P Lol.

Answer 3

Spiders follow certain stimulus for their movements.  Tarantulas migrate in the same direction, so they could come back the same way,  but they will not wait by the door for you to open it.  If it seems like you are getting the same guy back put him out another door.  Other spiders may be following other stimuli to a place where there is easy access into your home.  You might look to see if you have a leaky faucet outside and the spider can get in where the pipe enters the house, the same spider could repeatedly come back in.  It is near impossible to spider proof a house but you should be able to exclude the big ones.

No,that never happens in my experience.
