Why don't you people kill and dispose of spiders in your home?

Because I can trap mine in a jar and take it outside instead.

Most of the time that leads to them dying. So if it's about saving them, that's the wrong move.

If it's about getting rid of them without squishing them or something, then that works.

Well, squishing has a 100% chance of them dying. With a toddler and a baby, having them run loose sadly isn't an option.

We live in a very mild climate, and there's under-deck and fence space around our house, in addition to bushes, trees, and underbrush


fairly suitable for a variety of arachnids. It's not the same as indoors, and survival rate certainly isn't 100%, but it's not the death sentence of going from a climate controlled house to below-freezing outdoors.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
