A lengthy video, but just about anyone 50+ years old, and grew up in the US, will appreciate it.

Whenever there's an arachnid situation at our house, and Mrs. is requesting for extreme measures to be taken -- I always say to her

spiders are our friends

Which they are. They eat bad bugs.
We have been doing this for over four decades.
I will rescue and relocate them when it's feasible.
With one exception. We get these in the garage, especially in the wintertime. They are large, fearless, and malevolent-looking.
I don't kill them -- but I don't like them, either.

I only kill black widows. Usually don’t see them inside. The others I usually escort outside.

One time had a small hairy spider fall from the ceiling in my San Francisco apartment. The little bastard was ugly as can be, like a miniature tarantula. What struck me though, as I was in the bathroom and it landed on the counter… it watched and tracked me! As I moved, it moved. Since learned it is a jumping spider. Up here in wine country, there is a striking version, black with a red abdomen.

Other than that, every late spring or so, we have an outbreak of house spiders. Strangely most notable in the master bath where, in the morning, I will find 1-3 trapped in the bathtub. Daily. You think they’d figure it out, but nope. Every day for a month! Every year. *shrugs

Those spiders are mostly young males that try to find their own territory and wife, they roam arround your house to find that place & company and then go into hiding again...

Spiders i leave mostly, I just remove their nets. My cat otherwise, she hunts and eats them as a nice snack..

Now I have a vision of 8 burly men, 1 to a leg, throwing a spider out, into the street.

As a biologist, I have trouble killing pretty much any kind of critter. We're worse than Buddhists!
As a property owner and gardener, though, there are a few species that have escalated to viable target status in my worldview.
Not proud of this - I am just a devotee of full disclosure.
I don't kill those big ugly garage spiders -- they look like they'd fight back.

On topic -- saw this on my Flickr feed from Ken Kantor. Yes, the NHT Ken Kantor. He's a pretty good photographer and he has a pretty good sense of humor as well.

Ah yes ... Ken Kantor. Didn't he design the NHT Pro A-20 system?

NHT PRO A-20 Monitor Pair With C-20 Amps

NHT PRO A-20 is a set of very dynamic speakers, coupled with dedicated C-20 power amplifiers that use controlled impedance cables that form part of the crossover network. The control amp, cables and monitors are an inseparable package. The amp includes: - Boundary (stereo with control) -...
