In the fall, when temperature drops, it seems like half the spider population of sweden are looking for a place to live - in my house!
Oh the horror

Put him on a sheet and throw it out of the window.
But please don't kill it...

Quite a magnificent specimen. :D

SQUISH HIM GOOD!

Why? Leave it be or adopt it as a pet. I'm fond of spiders myself. They eat all those horrible insects. I would never deliberately kill one. My Mum told me if you kill a spider you make it rain. ;)

Lol, neat! I like holding them, to test my bravery. But I also love feeding them to my pet rat!:oShe just grabs them and eats them alive! It's really neat! ;D

Nexus be nice to that spider, he'll eat all those rotten mosquitos for you.
I can't understand arachnophobes, spiders eat insects that eat you 8)

Agree....I don't look at spiders as vermin, quite the contrary actually. I'm not really afraid of them, and I appreciate their job (keeping the house clean of other insects).
However if they are just running around in my room (homeless spiders LOL), I usually place a glass over them, slide in a paper and carry them to the door and toss them out...am I not a class act landlord?

I'd be more afraid of a funnel-web spider.

black widows are not found in Sweden, infact none of our spiders are harmful to humans  :)

...not saying that black widows don't exist in Sweden because they do.  ;D

Some months ago a newspaper reported that a man who imported an american car, got a little surprise. A black widow was apparantly included in the bargain :D

The spider had built a nest in the undercarriage and the man was so dead afraid so he told the paper that he will leave the spider alone until it dies from the cold climate...well guess what, the black widow was PREGNANT, meaning thousands of spiderlings in his garage.

Talk about being royally screwed  ;D

I can't stand slugs. I don't mind spiders. Slugs make me go weak! :-X I'm talking about the six inch sized ones here, I had a pic somewhere of a really big one, but I can't find it at the moment.
