There was just a big spider in my room. It was on the ceiling. I told my parents to kill it (I'm a sissy when it comes to big spiders), they killed it with a broom. It was like small now and then my parent tried to take it off off the wall with the broom and it fell to the floor under my drawer. It left a mark in the wall but its straight lines. Is it still alive? (Don't laugh)

  1. Yes, it is dead (and i am not laughing because we all have fears of all sorts and we can learn to deal with them)

    Also don't kill spiders as you or someone else can remove them without killing it with the help of this tool -

    Spider and Insect Catch and Release Tool

    Many people find spiders repulsive and scary, yet the majority of spiders are harmless and beneficial.

    So let's take a good look at these creatures and address our fears. Consider how much bigger you are than a spider and that spiders probably can't even see you. Although spiders typically have eight eyes, many have poor eyesight.

    Spiders pose no real threat to us. In fact, you can appreciate spiders for their significant contribution to insect control.

    The Good Side of Spiders

    Spiders play an important role in controlling insect populations. An arachnologist (a person who studies spiders) in the United Kingdom once calculated that the weight of insects eaten by spiders in that country every year exceeded the weight of the people who live in the U.K.

    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.

    Removing Spiders

    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.

    Chemicals Are Ineffective

    Using a pesticide is not a good solution to spider problems. "Insecticides will not provide long-term control" of spiders, according to the University of California, "and should not generally be used against spiders outdoors." Inside, "control by spraying is only temporary unless accompanied by housekeeping."

    Washington State University Extension has a similar perspective: "Most spider problems can be solved without the use of chemicals."
