1. What do you do?

You put HEAVY BRICKS on that plastic bowl, that's what you do. Then put a fence around it so nobody kicks it over accidentally.

And then, you wait. For as long as it takes.

2. I don't know, I would just encase it in concrete

You can never be too careful.

3. I had a spider problem when I first moved into my new home.

I had woken up after the first 2 nights with itching bite marks all over my arms, I like to sleep with my arms outside of the blankets - took me awhile to figure it out that it was the spiders I saw now and then scooting across my living room floor.

Although I do not like chemicals much, found a spray - called "Raid Max" - "Spider Blaster"

Followed the directions closely, spraying around the edges that I figured they were coming from, doing so only when I planned to leave the house to go to town (I am very sensitive to chemicals)

It worked, no more spiders.

5. Pack all your belongings as fast you can and GET AWAY QUICKLY!

No, forget your belongings...just get away! Or else you might end up like this poor soul...

9. Hey!

11. Poor spiders! They get such a bad rap.

I love them actually; they're fascinating creatures that help us out. The only time I'll kill - brown recluse or black widow in the house.

[Kali]

13. yep. no problems with spiders myself. scorpions are a different matter...

[Avalux]

17. I'm with you when it comes to scorpions - had more than one run in with them.

FYI - a 4 inch phone book dropped on top of a scorpion and left overnight WILL NOT kill it. All that does is make it mad as hell! You can probably imagine my horror when, in the light of day, I picked up the phone book.

15. I don't mind spiders outside

but they're toast when they venture inside. As for giant spiders on the ceiling or on the toilet? HELL. NO.

[Avalux]

18. I had baby tarantulas in my house once.

I didn't kill them; caught them and let them loose outside. But I will admit I had a hard time sleeping that night.

[Neoma]

14. Since it's a plastic bowl, I would have put a small hole on top and fill it all up with poison.

[charlie and algernon]

16. I thought about that too, but it looks like there are babies climbing up the sides

and I'd be afraid one or two would sneak out the hole before I got the poison in.

[SwissTony]

19. I have no problem with spiders. I love them. Used to have a "pet" huntsman.

Heights I'm not so happy with.

20. Baby wolf spiders ride on their mom

They would have been in an egg sac she carried around until they hatched.

That toilet had a smaller large spider near the back of the seat, as well as the huge one the guy was trying to flush.

I like spiders as long as I can assist them outside, though I did kill 13 black widows last July because I didn't want the population to explode in the back yard. If you want to see where black widows live outside, go out with a flashlight at night and look down, two feet high and lower. Around here they emerge and sit on their webs at night.
