How do you capture spiders?

It was probably a Wolf spider. Even if it were a tarantula, just pick it up (not that I would ever do it, but...). Both species are pretty benign and will only attack prey, not humans (unless they are really really provoked). The reason it is moving fast is probably because it is running the hell away from you. The best way to capture it is to corner it and then catch in a large jar.

I've seen HUGE wolf spiders. I hate em, they give me the creeps. I was actually thinking of how big of a mess it would make if you smashed a tarantula with something. That would be disgusting.

Yeah, wolf spiders get pretty big. I don't like anything bigger than a common house spider inside the house. It is pretty tough to look at a large spider and think anything other than "That thing is going to suck out my guts".

Well, personally, if I had a spider that big around me...I've get a full body suit, helmet, etc., find that fscker and pick him up w/ some tongs. Then I would toss him in a little glass filled with liquid nitrogen/tetraflourothane.

Good plan. 🙂

I hate spiders, so I usually get a gut reaction to smash them flat as quickly as possible. However, in this case the spider is large enough that this would likely squirt spider guts everywhere (much like stepping on a ketchup packet). Raid would probably work too slowly, and he'd get out of the way fast so you're not likely to empty the entire can on him, so I'd go with the hairspray. A good aerosol hairspray will clog up his air passages, and he'll go into convulsions almost immediately.

Yes, cause spiders aren't predators of other bugs.

Tarantulas arent native to New Hampshire. So if theres one running around in your apt, you need to get a can of raid and do the outline of the your apt.

Bugz is suck!

I live in CT and I think the spider belongs to a neighbor. The guy downstairs looks nuts enough to own spiders. I am not too eager to start spraying my apartment with Raid but I will look for other types of poisons. I really do not want to wake up with the spider in bed with me.
