my friend is in Australia for the second time, and she apparently has had her first huntsman spider sighting.
I'm in the Midwest and I've seen cockroaches, house centipedes, ants, and small spiders indoors, among other things, but not gigantic spiders (inside at least). What do people in countries/areas with HUGE critters do? Any clever inventions or methods? With the relatively small size of bugs I get, I usually just have to squash with toilet paper or let it go.

I check all over, but since it's winter there's nothing around. They only ever come out during summer

Do you kill 'em ?

Looks fake.
I can't even imagine what to do. The cup/bowl trick just isn't fathomable with that large of a spider.

Even if that picture is fake (just got from google), there are still huge spiders, etc. out there that would seem terrible to just squash.

Only casuals kill huntsman. They are harmless and eat other insects.
Most of our lethal spiders are small except funnel webs. Generally you just leave spiders alone unless you're a total pussy.

For really large spiders I use a schooner glass or a flower vase to relocate them from the house.
It's hard not to accidentally take the legs off when they're really big.

you're the pussy here mate, spiders all deserve to die just like almost every other dirty insect does.
any fucking spider wanna get at me I'll squash the shit out of em you get me.
I always put my finger up close the spider and let it crawl up my hand, then walk it out of the house.
I don't see the issue here, I would let that spider also crawl up my arm so I can just walk it out of the house.

Spiders are literally fucking harmless fuck off. They do so much good and so little bad and are not aggressive. Hate bugs? They'll take care of em. You could even say spiders are bro tier. Sick of this spiders are evil meme when it is just untrue and forced by hollywood having movies with giant spiders being evil.

Sometimes I just pick them up with a dust and pan and release them out. But if they're really scary or aggressive I just squash em

blah blah anger anger bro bro bro bro. let's say we don't wanna kill the huntsman in your living room. you're comfortable just letting it walk around the place freely?
i don't like to kill spiders. they kill the other bugs, where I live, their small size doesn't cause a lot of concern. this is asking people who have dealt with very large insects in the home what they tend to do.
>>61710717
Yes. They get a place to live and they keep other things out
