Moved around a bunch of stuff in what we call "The Back Room" in the basement and found a huge nest of Brown Spiders.
Happy, happy, joy, joy.

~Youve got to be a pussy to be scared of spiders. Well unless theyre huge ones.
There's this thing called Arachnophobia, I myself suffer from it. More like pussyphobia lol. JK, i don't like them either, but I don't have a fear of them. They just weird me out slightly.

I guess it was hard to tell from that picture in the OP just how big they are. But to me, it ain't just size but how crazy looking they are. Bugs can get pretty gnarly, man. Gotta recognize.

Whoa dude. I have always been a "live and let live" kind of a guy, but the looks of that thing give me the heeby jeebies. I would not hold anything against you for doing whatever you need to do to address this...

All the skeptics will now want to stomp every spider they see, when they view this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNHK565cVe8
that's a tough one. at first, my gut reaction was -- find a way to remove them whilst still saving them. but that is tough one. i'm not sure what the options are, but the prospect of infestation is pretty scary, even if they aren't deadly.
wish i could be more help in deciding. good luck!

just wish em away. voodoo works too
+1 Thats it man! Go get a little spider doll and spin it in circles until they fall off the window sill from bieng dizzy, scoop em up and send em down the street

Before killing any spiders you should think about the big number of insects that is consumed by even a single spider. Without spiders humanity would be plagued with hoards of insects.
All spiders in central Europe are not really dangerous for humans - the vast majority of them can't even bite through human skin. A tennis ball size swelling from a such a spider is definitely a myth. I've handled quite a few spiders and have never been bitten - not even an attempted bite.
You don't have to love them, but please don't kill them.

"the vast majority of them can't even bite through human skin"
That's bullshit. Almost all spider bites can easily bypass a human's skill.
"tennis ball size swelling from a such a spider is definitely a myth"
Again, bullshit. Ever heard of staph infection? It can be caused via a spider bite. (Technically, any sort of puncture to the skin, but spider bites are common enough).
Then again, I probably wouldn't kill the spider, as I'm sure it'll catch a wasp or two around these parts making it worth my while. (I much rather get bit by a spider than stung by a wasp).
Dont kill it, it will be summer soon remember that will bring alot of mosquitoes to your room.
And then mister spider will eat them!
I dont understand why alot of people are scared for such little animals, especially some girls .

So what are you doing about them?
Still undecided right now.
I do have both false widows and lace weavers spiders.
I think most here would nuke the house if they had too many and they became pests, im not sure i have too many adults right now but i will by the time the babies outside get big no doubt. This is posing me a moral dilemma, i gave up killing animals years ago.
I have this image of you standing at the window contemplating what to do, just catch em up, and pass the buck to someone else like I had said before

Had another one crawling up the bath today, apparently they are amaurobius spiders not false widows. however both the bastards can bite you but not usually aggressive.
lots of votes to kill the spiders though i see :/
As much as people say they do not harm, they can get very annoying. I used to have a spider in the toilet, you keep having the feeling this guy is always watching.
Put sulfuric acid/gas in your house, they do not like this kind of stuff and will leave the house, gasses is probably the most friendly way.

I'd keep em alive unless they started biting! otherwise I'd probably just try to catch em and throw them out
Kill them with fire
I respect every creature so I will say, live
why you guys make issue of spider .they are just like human beings and every who live in this world they have right to live here . no one snatch from it .
Yeah, like this guy:

Probably you will be just like spiderman. do you have a marker red and blue? you can start drawing on them, just make it
similar like in the movie.

I generally don't kill spiders if I find them in the house, then again, around where I live there really isn't any spiders that can do any damage. We do get the odd black widow, but I've never seen one in the house.
I used to get wolf spiders where I used to live, at least I think that's what they were. They used to creep me out, they get pretty big and you could hear them run across the floor.
Just leave them be for the most part. If they infest you're house though, it's a whole new ball game and I'd be calling an exterminator asap.

You're Canadian, of course you don't kill spiders.

Step 2: Light entire house on fire.

Here, we have three rules:

I rather like that although on my property I leave the snakes alone because they eat lots of mice and bugs.
If you were the size of a spider and he was the size of a man, do you think he would even hesitate before biting you in half?
He is your enemy, it is the natural order of things.

Spiders are just like us. We are born, we live, and we die.

I have false widows in and around my property in UK, a few have come in the house. Here is one from other day:
Apparently they aren't dangerous but if they bite can still give a tennis ball size swelling < what if one bites on your eye ball right?
My default is: Normally i try and save any living animals.
I have about 20 baby ones around a window outside what would u do? (see poll)
Let it live. Spiders eat mosquitoes and other pests. They are our friends. Catch him and let him free. After all, it has a family too. Apparently they aren't dangerous but if they bite can still give a tennis ball size swelling < what if one bites on your eye ball right?

Spiders kill other spiders. When spiders come into contact with one another, a gladiator-like competition frequently unfolds – and the winner eats the loser. If your basement hosts common long-legged cellar spiders, this is why the population occasionally shifts from numerous smaller spiders to fewer, larger spiders. That long-legged cellar spider, by the way, is known to kill black widow spiders, making it a powerful ally.
I let them live. I have pet tarantulas though so I have a soft spot for little spiders. Sometimes I don't even bother letting them outside. They are free mosquito control and they don't bug me so whatever.
Just get them outside lol let birds deal with them
Spiders are the only thing that freak me out, they are so poisonous.
I don't mind snakes, but the first time I find a biting snake that jumps 20 feet in the air without notice, there will be one more decapitated snake on this planet.
I'm afraid I've got some bad news. 
I like spiders. They kill other anoying bugs. Leave them alone.
Life is precious be it human or non-human.
Let them live!
I would say let the spiders live and just leave them alone! Or replace them somewhere else, I never kill spiders. It's said that spider bring luck, so you should be nice to them, hmm but I don't have much spiders but I imagine that It would be annoying If they would be In every corner, but you just replace them somewhere outside.
Spider freaks, I have captured one of your comrades in a pickle jar after freaking the Hell out because he jumped. He will die a slow and painful(?) death if you do not send BTC.25 to 16exqdBgeEB2W6K5g51dpFWFCnicL8bUPc
Payment in full, and he'll be released outside (with proof).

Holding spiders for ransom... I can't believe it...
Are they poisonous? If not, let them be and you'll notice that the level of annoying insects around your house will go down drastically.
All spiders are venomous, though generally no more so than bees and wasps; with most spiders, a bite is just a minor annoyance unless you're allergic. Though spiders rarely bite humans in the first place. They're simply nowhere near as dangerous as most people imagine.
All I can say to this would be... die die die die, you fuken spider!

insects and spiders and others horror film creatures have their place in nature
but our house is not nature, so if you the right to kill them or take them into some forested area, if you are not heartless

I never thought that arachnophobia is such a widespread mental disorder. I suggest that people wanting to kill spiders out of fear learn more about them first.
Most spiders are not harmful, instead they are very helpful keeping harmful insects from spreading. Even those few that could be harmful do only defend themselves when threatened. No spider deliberately attacks or bites humans.
Show some respect for living animals that have done nothing to you!
Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a reason I sit with my feet on the chair: I don't want a bunch of hives on my ankles.

Birds control insects. They're a fine animal. Big, bold colors -- no sneaking around on your walls, wandering on your legs and biting your ankles. I'll take care of the spiders inside, it takes care of everything else outside.
Take them out like this
In my room is plenty of spiders web in the corners of my ceiling. Some spiders nests are under my bed and all over in dark places I am afraid to look. I never killed any spider and they never bothered me. Occasionally huge spiders are running through my carpet but usually they are sitting silent in their corners. So I guess spiders are not that bad, they eat other more harmful bugs, so don't kill them.
Well you know how many of them you have right? Catch them, get a small smooth glass (shot glass) put some ants in the bottom of it, put a cloth around the glass rim so they can walk up and into the glass, cover the glass and go visit someone you don't like much and drop them off on their street, let them deal with it.
, jokes, but ya you could catch them.

Spiders eat each other after mating, so I think the nest will shrink. Some mammals also eat spiders. The theory is that spiders go inside your house because of the temperature, so you could test this myth by putting a lot of ice cubes near them
As for me, they are free to stay if they pay me a rent -but so far none of them has paid
Awww dont kill those harmful critters 
Jk BURN THOSE BASTARDS TO THE GROUND

I've never been afraid of spiders, so I really don't care what I do with them. But to be honest, if you want to kill them, try this: Just spray a cleaner on them. It's a swift death. If you want to save them, spray water on them, but not enough to drown them.
My parents had a ton of baby spiders on their door one day. They chose to spray cleaner on them. My Mom hates spiders, for some reason.
I wouldn't kill them. If they're not harmful, then they'll help you more. I hate wasps, and mosquitoes. So it's a win/win.

I try not to kill spiders, simply because I hate flies more, so when I find one, I put him in a container and throw outside. Think about that helpful spider every time you hear a mosquito flying around 
Just relocate them lol.
It would be different if the spider was a camel spider. That rips everything apart.

Mmmm i had try to save them.. but you cant catch spiders so easily, they will run.. so maybe the only way to get them out is killing them.
But they're so cute. Look how they huddle together for warmth....or to make a smaller target.

I can't believe I'm going to be the one to lecture you on this, but just get a bowl, a piece of paper and trap the spiders by putting the bowl over them with the paper and stop being such a pussy!
I always use a jar and paper to remove spiders in the house, its just this shit ton of babies im wondering about. By the time it gets cold these bastards are coming inside.
Ooh, that is nasty. I hate spiders and definitely would kill them anyway I can. Crush is usually best, not using fire. With crushing them, you can see the corpse, but I always use folded napkins.

The only time I would ever flamethrower insects if I was dealing with poisonous ones or perhaps wasps, I fucking hate wasps because they aren't friendly at all. If you can't get them off the way I mentioned you could also just remove the window sill if there are that many and brush them off with a broom or something to make them bugger off somewhere else.

No spider fans so far its not looking good.
Just actually tried to get one of the little baby bastards on a lolly pop stick, not much luck they shoot back into window cracks soon as i get near.
Maybe i should move house to avoid bad karma, only renting.

Fuck no, I hate spiders lol. You're just lucky these arent black widows.
Is the house your renting in old? Whats more annoying is the silverfish that crawls on the wall..
House is like 10 years old on a new estate, lots of people look after their gardens i guess thats why so many spiders.
I dont like spiders either just dont like killings things even more, must be half hippy or something. If there is a potentially health threat im all for killing stuff so yeah if they black widows kill them but also move house. Although something that can bite and cause a tennis ball swelling and 20 babies outside my window is getting close to a threat?
