Question

in my bathroom, and i trapped him in a glass because he diddnt die from me plunging him, how can i kill him? i tried to give him things to play with but he dug his fangs into it, so i dont think he likes that...can he hurt me? im scared lol

Answer 1

wolf spiders are generally harmless to humans.if provoked to biting,

the larger spider bite can be uncomfortable,but not poisonous.

I have a couple living behind my computer,(they eat the crickets)

so I just ignore them.

Answer 2

if you put him in the toilet, he can walk on the water.

but not if you put a little dishwashing detergent in first.

on the other hand, if you just dump him outside, he'll probably leave.

that would be better.

Answer 3

Hi

You got a wolf spider? They get really big! Oh, they can bite if provoked, why don't you just take him across the street or something if you have him captured...he don't want to play. He's backed into a corner and he wants out!

Yes, their bite hurts!

I wouldn't want to kill it, ewww  if he's in the glass, take him outside, let him go.   Also if you have one in the house, it's an accident that he came in to begin with, chances are you have several in your yard.  I use to get them in my garden in Texas. They aren't aggressive unless they are threatened. Chances are he's just as scared, if not more than you are.

He'll sense your fear, so let him go ASAP. You'll get over it and so will he. They are very good spiders for killing critters that eat your plants too. If I was going to be afraid of a spider it would be a brown recluse, or a hobo spider, black widow comes in third. Wolf spiders are great to have around the house, outside of course!

Goode Luck!
