The Spider in the Bathtub

The poll question is self explanatory.

Feel free to explain your answer.

No baths but showers and they attract spiders in autumn and early winter. Maybe they are trying to get out of the damp weather... Not too bright if they head for the shower.
But, i guess there is as much life in them as there is is any living thing (except flies) so i scoop it up in a glass and put it outside away from the cats

Ah, but what if it's poisonous?

Then I don't eat it.

(Sorry - pedantry about poisonous vs. venomous)

 

[Spiderman]

Hold it!

 

[Brickjectivity]

I tell myself "Its only a little machine!" and kill it.

I picked a baby house spider out of the bath no more than an hour ago. I usually put them out the back garden but I'd had a bit of a chat with this one (seriously, I was talking at a spider) and I couldn't bring myself to put it outside in the cold. It's scurrying about the building somwehere.

Murder!

Sorry!

I found a spider in the tub one time but I wasn't in the tub. I took a video of the spider.

 

[Yerda]

My answer: Nothing.

I don’t know what the spider wants.

Maybe just fancies a nice long soak.

Bathbomb.

Candles.

Whale sounds.

Got to pamper yourself sometimes.

Spiders in the UK are quite harmless - and beneficial, in that they trap and eat flies. So I'm not afraid of them. When I find one in the bath I first open a window, then cup the spider in my hands and pop it out of the window.

I do the same with queen wasps, which have a habit of trying to hibernate in my curtains at the end of autumn. But I use a jam jar with a card underneath to trap them, rather than my hands, even though they are so dozy that I don't think they would sting me. In fact I did once pick one up between finger and thumb by mistake, thinking a bolt had fallen out of the curtain rail.....until I found it was soft and buzzed a bit.......JESUS!!!!.....

You should have taken its crown and made yourself queen of all wasps, you fool.

I'd do nothing except when I want to take a bath (or use the tub for something else). Then I'd relocate it to the window sill (probably a better hunting ground).

I love spiders. I'd save the lil guy ^_^

 

[Revoltingest]

It depends upon which spider.
Some I ignore.
Some I murder with extreme prejudice.

 

[The Crimson Universe]

If its a teeny weeny guy, i'll wash it down the drain. If its a big a** nasty one, i'll run out of the shower naked and won't go back in unless the pest control guys arrive.

 

[Brickjectivity]

Murder!

In truth, I like fly spiders, so I leave them be. Also sometimes I'll leave wolf spiders alone, provided they are not near my bed. At night they can bite.

I'm very careful. I sleep in a sleeping bag, specifically because I do not wish spiders to accidentally get caught in my bedding and bite me. Spiders are not toys.

 

[Father Heathen]

Ah, but what if it's poisonous?

I doubt she would try to eat it.

 

[mangalavara]

Feel free to explain your answer.

I just place it somewhere else in the bathroom if it's not venomous. If it happens to be venomous, I kill it. Householders should protect themselves and theirs.

Have you ever seen a YouTube where I am holding spiders?
