I'm not aracnophobic, just a little anti-semetic towards any creature with more than 4 limbs that infringes on my territory, especially before bed when it could be crawling on me while I sleep. Some may argue that it's wrong and inhumane to kill any living thing, no matter how small. Others may say that death is a natural part of life. What are your thoughts/opinions/beliefs on the subject?

I generally leave spiders be unless they decide to leave the walls/ceiling, then they are dead. Unless I have a vaccuum, then they all go bye-bye.

My family hates bugs, any one in my house gets killed so when I saw a spider I put it in a plastic cup and threw it out side in the garage. End of story. The spider lives for another day

I would just leave such a spider alone. After all, most spiders are harmless.

I would take it to another room. Then enjoy sleep.

I would not care. Spiders kill the other little buggies all around you.

Well, spiders are insects, insects produce thousands of eggs so killing one won't make too much of a difference. I hate bugs, not afraid of them, they're all free-loaders...besides bees; they give us honey.

well spiders are pretty creepy. I really hate any type of bug unless it's pretty. Have you ever heard of the saying "if you kill a spider, it will happen to you in another life"? I don't believe but it's fun to say once someone kills a spider

I'd take it outside. Get a napkin or something to pick it up (gently) with, then put it outside. That way you're happy and the spider's in it's native territory.

I take it you're a democrat?

Anyways, taking them outside is just a pain. So much easier to throw something at it and put it in the trash.

Just put it on a piece of cloth or something and let it outside. No big problem. Everything has a right to live.

just a little anti-semetic towards


Anti-semetic means that it relates to the hating of Jews.

Unless you're from the future, I would just kill it, insects don't experience pain the way we do. If you are from the future, don't kill it, remember the butterfly effect.
