I pick it up and take it outside, because I feel the need to protect it from my family members...

Seriously, it bugs me that people jump on the "It scares me so it deserves to die" bandwagon. As a race, I thought we were supposed to be 'better' than that.

Sometimes it´s not just about "it scares me"....since we´re talking about spiders..well, some of them are genuinely very dangerous, carrying poison than can kill you in minutes...depending on the kind of spider, you should be protecting your family members from it, and not the other way around...and again, depending on the kind of spider, the best thing to do would be to kill it, and not 'pick it up and take it outside'..should you find a dangerous kind in your house.

Maybe it's just the location I live in but.....I don't know of any spider that can kill you in minutes.  Are they that bad where you live?

Hey Lewis, what´s up?...well, I live in the U.S...so, not that I know here (according to this:http://www.essortment.com/poisonous-spiders-north-america-63412.html...only two types are poisonous, but not to the point of killing you in minutes....but I think there are some in Australia and/or parts in Africa who can do that).
