Theres a massive spider in our room...?

Question

we saw a massive spider in our room but we've lost it now so we can't take it outside. we don't want to harm it but its really scary and we can't stop worrying about it. everytime something touches us we shudder and scream. how do we get rid of it?

Answer 1

Cut the bottom off a plastic bottle, place it over the spider, and slide something under it (I use a plastic food carton tray with one end cut off). Then, turn the whole thing over so that the spider drops into the bottle, then place in your neighbour's letterbox - er - throw out into the garden.

Answer 2

if it looks dangerous then you may want to call an exterminator i guess. but if it just looks kinda big and gross then just be alert and try to get it outside with a tissue or something.

Answer 3

most prob hiding from you, as he is more scared of you than you of him.

forget about him he wont hurt you, besides he,ll eat all the flies and flying gnat things that do like to bite you. so try and think of him as a good thing and not a horrible spider.    

Answer 4

if its a hairy spider spray it with hair spray then it cant move lol

Answer 5

Just hope it's not one of those that some of the soldiers brought back in their luggage by accident.. One 'camel spider' that did make it to the Uk killed someones pet dog :(

The likeliness of this is very low though, and it's prob just a house spider.. and if in the Uk, there aren't any harmful spiders really, so don't worry ^^ it'll probably have crept into some small crevis and be sleeping for the night :)

Answer 6

RAID, no but set a spider trap and put cheese in it, no but RAID.

Answer 7

I'm sorry honey but i can help u get rid of it but i can tell you a way to prevent them. Its an old wives tale that really seems to work, i don't know why, and i know it sounds strange but i tried it and it actually worked!! you need to put a conker in each corner of your room, i even keep one in my car because i park near some woodland at work, it kept the spiders away but not the thieves!!! someone stole my petrol out my tank the other day! wonder if there is an old wives tale to prevent these nasty trespassers too !!  

Answer 8

find it and throw stuff at it to kill it.

Answer 9

if you are in the uk , then no matter how big it is it cannot harm you .

it is more concerned with coming out at night and getting its nightly feast of small insects and bugs  around your skrting boards and under your  bed / furniture .

you probably have a wolf or cardinal spider ( AKA  british house spider

the record size being approx 9 inches across ( leg span )

treat it as a chum , it is eating all your household nasties.

my grandad had a saying relating to these creatures ; " if you want to live and thrive , let a spider run alive *

my neighbours son  spent some time in Belize ,and brought back a spider in a show case from there.   it is big , ugly and nearly a foot across , and was found in his bed one night ( alive at the time )

still , even at this size it is still small compared to us .

get someone to put a peter parker in a sealed jar for you  , hold it and look at it, knowing it can`t escape .

they are good creatures , please don`t condemn them to death because of their looks.

if you live in Australia , ignore all previous advice !!!

kindest regards , tony.d

Answer 11

look! these people all have good answer,but if you believe it to be harmful then catch it and releasee it outside,I actuallyencouragege a spider here in the U.S to live on my screens on the inside during the summer months,we  call them jumpers they furry and grey and black strips on them,they get about the size of a pencil eraser,but the females are bigger and will bite you.but they arnt venomous.go online and try to find out what you saw and to know if you should be worried abouy it.

Answer 12

Okay first... there's no point in screaming like 4 year olds! second.. jut get outta that room.. if it does come out again put a cup or glass over it and slide some paper under the glass and then bring it outside.. It can't harm you or anything because it's TINY compared to you so don't be worrying!

Answer 13

look in dark places, move furniture and you'll prollt find it hiding...then it kill it i mean seriously its a spider.but then again i completely hate spiders so do watever you want
