If you still see a spider doing its best Spiderman impression on your ceiling, don’t panic. Grab a cup and a stiff piece of paper. Trap the spider gently against the wall. Slide the paper under the cup. Now you have a spider in a cup. Congratulations, you’re a spider catcher.
Walk outside. I mean outside, not the porch. Release the spider on a bush or under a rock. It’ll be fine. It’ll find a better home—maybe in your neighbor’s garage. (Kidding. Sort of.)
How to get rid of spiders in my house when living in an HOA
If you’re too squeamish? Get a spider vacuum attachment. Yes, they exist. Or just use the hose of your vacuum. Suck them up, then quickly remove the bag or empty the canister outside. No harm, no foul. Just a very confused spider zipping through a tube.
