if its in my house i usually kill it, but if i see one outside i usually looka t it for awhile than just leave it... I think they are pretty cool but I'm not risking them crawling on me in my sleep
Depends. If it is small and stocky I deem it non-threatening. If it is large or leggy then I throw it out unless I suspect it dangerous (brown recluse) and then I typically kill it.
I keep spiders around as much as possible. Most spiders are harmless and control pest insects. I never understood those guys who hate spiders and want to burn everything they've touched with fire.
I have no problem with spiders. I usually just let them be. Roaches on the other hand, I can't stand and it's kill on sight.
Spiders are cool, no reason to go out of your way to kill them, unless it's a black widow. But gotta do what you gotta do to keep the house clean. Geckos on the other hand.....ugh. Makes me glad I have cats.
If they just chill in the corner and don't bother me, I just leave them alone. If they bother me by crawling on the table or around my work area, I kill them.
I am a biologist, so what do you think... I do actualy remove them if they are close to my bed or my daughters bed and my wife wants them gone. I never kill them. Keep in mind that i live in the netherlands and there are no poisoness spiders here.
I used to leave them alone, but my wife is terrified of spiders so I've had to kill em or throw them outside.
Same. Spiders Are good unless they can kill or seriously hurt you. And they're only there if they have something to feed on (OTHER bugs in your house)
