  • To be honest, putting them in a glass really helps me. Not too much of an arachnophobe but once they’re contained I have absolutely no issues.

    I recommend cardboard instead of paper btw, it’s so much more sturdy and there’s zero risk of the spider noticing a gap and escaping when tilting to lift it up. I’m using the same strategy for wasps that somehow found their way inside and refuse to fucking leave through the open window and there the lack of gap is SO much more important because I don’t want a pissed off wasp escaping.






  • Huh, it might’ve actually been a wolf spider that I threw out. Didn’t know spiders that don’t build nets enjoy entering homes. I guess temperatures are starting to drop, so it makes sense.

    At least it would explain why it was just sitting in the middle of my wall nowhere near a corner.

    Also apparently the other commentator was right, your wolf spiders are probably too small:

    Wolf spiders are a vital source of natural pest control for many people’s gardens or even homes, since the wolf spider preys on perceived pests such as crickets, ants, cockroaches, and in some cases lizards and frogs
