[Ermintrude]

And spiders. I know they're not all bad, but spiders and snakeys both just ick me out

Well the spider smiting stick can be found here:-

I bought one for my partner who has a HUGE spier phobia and being disturbed I always had to do the glass and card thing (sensitive sole that I am), It didn't work and the reaction was 65cm (or 2 foot) distance was ARE YOU MAD, NO WAY. I'm now looking for a company that can supply the same device with at least a 1000ft pole and remote control that can be operated from a parallel universe (or at least the roof). (And as he's a Dr Who fan - the ideal would be a Dalek on the end that was genetically designed to exterminate anything with 8 legs).

Oh well birthday in Oct so still time.......

Synchronicity - I just bought one for my son, rejected the Iwantoneofthose model in favour of http://www.initialideas.co.uk/product.php?prid=649 - my son says it has a superb action but he hasnt caught any spiders yet.

I usually just pick up the spiders with my hands.....then occasionally i get one as big as my hand....and well, i pick them up too......i live in the woods so spiders are so common, they dont even bother my mom, she just says they are there, maybe point them out.

I found that you could just use those insect catching things they sell for lil' kids. I don't have a link that has a picture of one, but they are great for catching spiders around the house.
I'm not sure how to explain it, but if you see an insect catcher that looks cheap, big and plastic...that's probably it.

Ooo! That would be perfect for me so i don't have to ask my roomate to get the spiders. Can you get them in America?

[Sheik Yurbouti]

We just catch 'em in a foam cup - they seem to be attracted to white for some reason - and put them out (or if it's too cold, down in the cellar, so they can eat the crickets). Out here in the country we try to accommodate our predators

[hobo by choice]

nifty little invention but i have to ask, why is it in book discusion?
oh well.
i dont see how you could hold onto the spider well eneugh with just those bristles.
again lost on me i guess...

I tend to find the heaviest book I can find and lauch it at the spider from across the room. I'm getting quite a good shot with a toxicology textbook!

Unfortunately involves getting too near said spider. Ick

I've resorted to the glass and envelope (or other sturdy piece of paper) method myself a few times. The exception was the one spider I found living behind the dryer once. It was big enough to frighten the dog...

Where do you live that the spiders chase the dogs?

[Valanthe]

I'm in the mountainous region of Virginia, in a really narrow section of the Shenandoah Valley. And this spider was HUGE. There was a toy spider available about that time called "Big Bob", so that was the name I gave it in my own mind. I don't know where it came from, and I don't know where it went, but I tried real hard not to bother it whenever I did my laundry. I didn't think they got that big up here, but I after that, I now know it's possible.
