Answer 1

Spiders love to hide around computers so I would get off yahoo answers and call the pest control guy!!

Answer 2

get a tupawear and something flat, like an envelope and put the tupawear over the spider, then slide the envelope underneath, and carry it outside like that. thats what i do. i hate killing things.

Answer 3

Find some Insect killing spraying devise and just pwn his a** and be LIKE BOOOOOOOOOOM HEADSHOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 4

dont kill it!! dont worry or anything just  

put a cup over it then slide paper under the cup to get it and let it outside, it wont get you if you dont hesitate

Answer 5

Let it live (not out of compassion): spiders kill many other bugs for food and each single spider needs a very large hunting ground to itself which it will not share with another spider.  It's a win-win situation for you both.

I'm sure it's hidden by now, anyway.

Answer 6

i would get a napkin or something and squash it.

or if you dont wanna get that close get a plastic cup or something and cover it with that and get a paper. and slide that under it so it cant get out of the cup and go to the toilet and drop the spider in(just move the paper) and then it will die.

Answer 7

Let it go it will probably crawl away somewhere trust me spiders are a valuable asset the kill other bugs like mosquito espicially since its summer

Answer 8

try wacking it with a sandal, and then put on a glove so u know it cant bike you than wipe it up with a glove on and put it in the trash

Answer 9

spray it with hairspray it will suffocate it

Answer 10

Answer 11

Answer 12

Use a broom... if the spider is big...but if it is small take off your shoe or flip flop and kill it..but well I don't see why the poor spider should die lol i mean im also very paranoid and go crazy when i see a spider but ..hmmm i feel bad killing them..unless is poisonous or something...

Answer 13

Yuck, yuck, yuck. I was home alone one day and there was a huge spider on the wall and I had to get the courage to kill it i got three paper towels and closed my eyes and got it. Then I flushed it down the toilet. It wasn't so bad after I did it. I'm a very paranoid person as well. Hope I helped!

Answer 14

uggh i hate spiders!!! so creepy!! try takin like a news paper or somethin and whackin it really hard. it should die.

Answer 15

OH good grief. Just go kill the darn thing!

Get a fly swatter. They work very well, and you

can stand a little ways off. But don't miss!!

Answer 16

Who says you have to kill it? Get a plastic cup, glass or small box and let it crawl into it. Then, take it outside and throw it into the dirt. You can get rid of the problem without killing. By the way, my mom is terrified of spiders too and so I know how you feel but there is no need to kill it if it isn't filled with venom and going to bite you. If it was a venomous spider, I'd say kill it.

Answer 17

step on it

or get something to kill it with

Answer 18

use ur basic deodarant.....or talcum powder.....spider neuron type receptors are highly allergic to artificial smells.....

Answer 19

Spray it with spray.. like cleaning spray like windex. It'll fall and then step on it or something.

Answer 20

for huge spideres, i usually get raid and spray from a distance with a shirt over my mouth and nose. after that the spider shrivels up and dries out and then dies. smalls ones i just crush with a napkin

Answer 21

I know how you feel. I hate spiders too. Use hairspray. It freezes them. They spray it with bug spray, or even windex or something similar (hey, it is toxic) and then vaccuum it. Thats what I do.

Answer 22

dont kill it, he didnt do anything to you!!! hes as much alive as you are.

Get a cup, put it over him....slide a paper underneath the cup so you dont have to pick up the cup and carry him outside, and let him out!

1) hes out of your house!! same result as if you were to kill him

2) hes out eating misquitos

3) you let him live!!

yes i dont kill ANYTHING. (not even bugs, on purpose anyway)

Answer 23

I usually use a lighter, or throw a shoe or bug spray all have worked wonders for me.

Answer 24

Take a slipper and smoosh it and then use tissue to wipe off the stuff.

Or just take a tissue and capture it then squish it and throw it in the garbage.

Don't flush it down the toilet please, the environment is your friend.

Answer 25

kill it with a BIG shoe of a fly swatter!! good luck, i know how you feel!!

Answer 26

If it's not a black widow or a brown recluse, then you're safe.

Answer 27

Keep typing question on yahoo answers and ignore it and you will probably never see it again and it will never bother you.

Answer 28

lmfao you sound like me.

usually i take like this swiffer cleaner thing we have and put a napkin onit and just bang it against the wall.

Answer 29

squash it. man. you need to get up and kill it or it could be on ou tonite. i hate them i would step on them or kill them with splat or osmething. the ones that jump are horrible generally they are white and black i hatethose kind they are not poision but they do bite and hard.

Answer 30

put match on fire infront of hairspray can and spray which makes a flame thrower and light it on fire but have a fire extinguisher next to you in case you light you house on fire. or you can buy a shotgun tell it to get off  your porch and then shoot it but don't forget the porch part even if you don't have one because it makes it more epic.

Answer 31

I have arachnophobia, myself. But.. that still doesn't give me reason enough to kill it. Find an empty jar, etc, or a large open platform, like a notebook. Let it crawl on top, and throw it outside. Don't kill it.
