Killed something and saw the light

[Brucely]

Is that bad? I know u should just capture it and put it outside. I just cant do that with every spider! I squished it and saw the small light of its soul ascending. Did i free it from being a spider? Or was it a disservice? I feel like it revealed itself to me because it knew how i would react. It was its time.

Well, perhaps you just freed a lonely male spider unable to find himself a girl spider from it's miserable life and just wanted to say thanks.

Lol thats good.

Can I ask what it did to prompt you to kill it?

Overpopulation of spiders in my area. And if i see it and dont get it out of my room i wont be able to sleep. Squishing is my last option behind vacumming and letting outside. But it was the first time ive seen the light like that... The feels, oh the feels

Poor wee spider, I don't kill them or vacuum them. I just freed one from my sink, would rather have spiders in the house than flies.

Maybe seeing some light as you squished it was your own sense of guilt..

Can't say the same about wasps though, I don't mind them till this time of year when they turn nasty, I will encourage them to leave the house on their own but if not the spray does come out.

It was no 'wee' spider, at least not compared to other spiders

Hehehe, I dont like chemicals either it's an absolute last resort!

If you really can't stand spiders why not use natural remedies? https://www.tipsbulletin.com/14-grea...ome-naturally/

I had a ant problem in my last house and was able to deal with them using a similar spray described on the link.

To catch them you have to be a bit patient with them and have a small jar/glass and an old birthday card ready. They know we are there, and they are quite scared. Sometimes I have seen a really intelligent response...if they avoid the first capture attempt, they manage to go onto an awkward corner, or on a curtain fold or something where catching them with the glass/card method is impossible. Then they will stay there.
That can get boring. Especially at night when you want to sleep. Dare go and make a coffee, and by the time you come back they will have vanished!
If you have the courage, tickle one leg ever-so-slightly, and then the spider will move.
How much it moves....isn't the responsibility of this tutorial! har har

Sweep down relentlessly and fast with the glass, and push the card under and voila! One spider in a motel for the night.
Tip him/her out in the morning. Go to sleep.

By the way don't tip the spider out in a rainy wet place. They hate that and can drown. It will also come back if you just throw it through the window. Actually walk a little distance from your house before letting it go.

Spiders wander at this time of year looking for mates. The big spiders do that. They are usually males. It's the season for spidery love! (lol)

Spiders dont bother me at all, but my daughters dont like them so if they cant catch them they use the hose of the vacum cleaner to suck them up.

Namaste
