    What’s your point?  How is your particular experience directly relevant to all other people’s experiences?    Not every person reacts the same way physiologically to every stimuli. If she has different reactions to spider bites, your reactions don’t change hers.

    I have been bitten once it was quit nasty.   I suppose it depends on the type of spider.  

    My daughter sprayed on yesterday in our paint shed. She said when she saw it, it was in striking position. Swears she even saw the fangs.  It is gone.

    Perhaps I need to change my answer to

    E. I drown them in the nasty spoiled sour cream whey then throw it away. 

    That way I am not being wasteful.

    LOL. :)

      But just because it’s separated doesn’t automatically make it spoiled . . .

    Then ignore the word spoiled and just go with nasty.

      It still shouldn’t be thrown out. You said I could have it.

      You’re only supposed to give it to me with no spiders in it; live ones or dead ones.

    :(

    Ok. Good because that is taking money saving to a whole new level. 

    So I throw away the ones I use to drown spiders. And send you the rest. Got it.

    I just leave them alone because they eat the mice and rats.

    They seem to be harmless long as they get enough mice and rats to eat.
    Killing spiders can bring bad luck.

    I know it is, but if I had one in my house big enough to eat a mouse I’d consider stabbing  it with a knife, or at least throw a shoe at it.

    They are only about the size of a bat but at least they do not fly around.

    Vancouver BC. Would you prefer snakes instead of spiders in your house?

      Various bat species come in different sizes.

    Just a small kind of species then, I guess. i've never seen a real live living bat.
    .They are kind of spidery looking.

    I do nothing. Most spiders I find in my house are harmless or even helpful. Perhaps if I lived elsewhere, I would have a different answer.
