Now if only someone would invent a Spider Death Laser. The spiders of September are moving indoors. Kevin sat at the table reading the morning paper & killed 4 honkin aberrations. I give him points for killing though. Usually he scoops them into canning jars, turns them loose in the hedge. I know for a fact they can run back to the house faster than he.
And our cats--such useless old ladies. They've nary a smidgen of aptitude for spidering.
I invite you to vote: Is releasing spiders back to nature far past the extreme edge of compassion?

I vote that setting free an offending spider is what isn't compassionate. If the spider is outside and minding his own business, then fine, let him be. If said spider ventures into the house he has given up all rights to life. If you set it free it will either, 1. Continue leading it's life of crime by trying to infiltrate the human dwellings again, or 2. Realize the grave error of judgment it made and live a life of solitude and sorrow, (secretly dreaming of the life indoors) always guilty for what it's done.
Be compassionate. Kill breaking and entering spiders.
I kill on sight but my roommate has a pension for saving them in tupperware containers (needless to say I don't store my food in hers), studying them to make sure they aren't of the poisonous variety, and then letting them go in the neighbors woodpile or the apartment dumpster. The first time I observed this behavior I reacted with a horrified "but we're the closest apartment to the dumpster!!" Now I just try to kill them all before she has the chance to "save them".
I'm with you. If they enter my domain, they are subject to my extermination orders
Annihilate all. (Except Spider Man)

ok I"ll try again
Fancy that, I helped a student on his Arachnids worksheet and have the facts right before me.
Don't go outside," There are more than 2 million spiders lurking in an average acre of meadow. Some species of spiders may live up to 30 years."
Definitely stomp them out lest they multiply and replenish and take over the earth.

That'd be fun! I'd love to join you. Maybe we could make a weekend of it?
spiders serve no practical purpose indoors. Destroy them so they can't reproduce in your home.
Thanks for your comment and making me feel warm and fuzzy by calling me a good mom! My email is royalkrasm@gmail.com and I love attention so email away. :)
Brinton doesn't like spiders at all. We recently paid the big bucks for pest control, haven't seen a pest since.
