  They’re actually pretty beneficial (eating other more annoying bugs and all that) and usually not harmful to human residents in any way (except if you live in Australia). Killing them because “aah yuck spiders!” isn’t a good enough reason to many

    Did our generation forget how caulk and netting works?

      unless you hermetically seal your house, bugs will get in, if they want in.

        Some small bugs will get through fine mesh. Open doors and windows let a lot of things in. But fucked up gappy houses let everything in all the time. You’ve spent your whole life living in a fucked up gappy houses, I’m guessing.

      I didn’t honestly even think about that. Being from the nordics means throwing them outside is the same as killing them most of the year

  They typically leave me alone, and eat the other bugs that don’t leave me alone.

  Because I can trap mine in a jar and take it outside instead.

    Most of the time that leads to them dying. So if it’s about saving them, that’s the wrong move.

    If it’s about getting rid of them without squishing them or something, then that works.

      Well, squishing has a 100% chance of them dying. With a toddler and a baby, having them run loose sadly isn’t an option.

      We live in a very mild climate, and there’s under-deck and fence space around our house, in addition to bushes, trees, and underbrush — fairly suitable for a variety of arachnids. It’s not the same as indoors, and survival rate certainly isn’t 100%, but it’s not the death sentence of going from a climate controlled house to below-freezing outdoors.
