How to get rid of spiders?

Answer 1

In some cases, you have absolutely nothing to worry about, but if you do get bit by a venomous spider than I'd recommend you get medical attention immediately, hesitation could cost you your life...espeacially if you get by a black widow or the violin spider.

Answer 2

It is not always a bad thing to allow a few Spiders to hang around your attic or basement, as they eat other less-desirable insects. To keep them out of your living area, just keep it clean. Sweep or vacuum away their cobwebs as soon as they turn up. Remove all egg sacks from in and around your home. If the infestation is unacceptable, you would need a professional exterminator.

Answer 3

1. Clean your home, get everything organized first.

• Spiders like messy stuffs so they can hide in or find prey.

2. Vacuum your house get rid of any leftover foods and crumbs that can attract

others bugs or insects that spiders might prey on.

• Vacuum up cobwebs, spiders webs to destroy their home.

3. Kill any bugs, insects, and any other food sources that the spiders can eat.

The spiders will run out of food and starve, or turn into cannibals and eat

each other.

4. Hunt them down, look under crawlspaces, basement, attic, doors, garage,

and even outside your house like your yard.

5. Seal any openings in your home, windows, doors, or cracks outside your

house.

6. Prey insecticides on the perimeter of your home to keep bugs and spiders

away.

7. Clean your home regularly.

Getting rid of spiders may be trickier than you would think. Using poison sprays could rid your house of spiders, but what would move in next? One thing that can happen is that some species of spider that actually can give humans medically significant bites gain entry to your house and, since all the other spiders are dead now, they can spread without any competition. (One of the things that spiders eat is other spiders.) So it is better to think about whether you have any spiders that are actually going to be a problem to anything other than flies and mosquitoes.

Fortunately for everybody concerned, black widows do not like to live inside houses. They would rather find an overturned box in your back yard.

Brown recluse spiders will move in with humans, so if you live within their range then it would be a good idea to not give them prefabricated housing -- shoes left lying on the floor for weeks, open cardboard boxes with a miscellaneous collection of stuff in them and lots of places left to lurk in, etc. Humans are likeliest to get bitten while tidying up such boxes, or slipping into the old pair of shoes.

You want to keep "good" spiders around where you live, because they will tend to keep the populations of any "bad" spiders down. So if you find a scary looking monster in your bathtub, the best way to get rid of it would probably be to cover it with a glass, slide a card between the glass and the bathtub, and then release the spider outside somewhere.

Wear gloves at clean-up time if you think there is any chance that the boxes and shoes might harbor a brown recluse. Keeping boxes tightly covered, shoes and boots off the floor, etc. would also be a good idea.

If you are thinking of getting rid of spiders outside, ask yourself what will protect you from flies and your garden from insects. Black widows can't be permitted to remain if you have children who might not be mature enough to recognize and avoid them.

Answer 5

Catch it in a cup, cover the top with a piece of paper, take it outside, and let it go.

I agree! You can also try this:

Try not to panic and get a napkin or tissue. Lightly wrap the tissue around it and get to a door or window and flap the napkin to let the not squished spider free.

I say this to help out animals! Don't immediately squash it. The only bugs (or arachnids) you should squish are litter bugs! :)

Answer 6

Don't freak out and get some toiltpaper and smush him and flush it away.

Hit it with a shoe, pick it up with some toilet paper, then flush it or throw it away. Works with spiders, roaches, ear wigs, any bug whatsoever!

Spiders are almost always harmless to humans and will be frantic to get out of sight when they see something as large as a person. Spiders are useful in that they eat small bugs which you don't really want in your home.

If the spider is really large and you're in an area where this is possible, get a plastic container and a newspaper or magazine and gently scoop the spider into the container, quickly topping it with the paper to keep the spider inside. Take it out of doors and just leave the container on its side so the spider can find safety.

The reason you use a plastic container is if you're really scared of spiders you might drop the container, so glass isn't advisable: you'll still have the spider and now you'll have broken glass as well.

Bear in mind that if the spider isn't in a convenient place to trap then any attempt to catch or kill it will result in it running for cover; again, you'll still have a spider in the house, but now you won't know where it is and will keep looking over your shoulder.

Perhaps the best thing to do about spiders in the house is to contact your local museum and get information on spiders (you'll want the Department of Arachnology, or of Chelicerata). By the time you know what kind of spiders are likely to be in your home or garden, what they eat, how they trap or hunt their prey, and whether they pose any kind of a threat to you, you'll very probably not be scared of them any more.

Don't believe scary stories about spiders without checking on them. Most of them are false. Again, ask the arachnologist at your local science museum.

The link below is good; there will be others in your particular area with information on your local spiders.

This question needs more information: What spider? What country? If you are worried, see your doctor. As you seem to have time to write this question, and wait for an answer, I assume the bite is not fatal?
