Vacuuming up spiders Does it kill them??? There was a HUGE spider and I'm terrified of them and it was the first thing I…

maybe if you just turn the vacuum on for a while it will kill it?

Spiders are the scariest mother f*** ers on the planet. Id rather chop off my fingers then be stuck in a room full of spiders.

Nope. Sure doesn't. Vacuum up some raid too. I seriously don't get the terrified of spiders thing.. unless they arent bigger than a half dollar (American ) then they don't bug me

Be happy that spiders can't fly.... Muahahahahaha!! ????

Well, it sounds like its too late to try another method of defense. I'd say your plan isn't 100% full proof. You may or may not have killed it. Depending on what is available. I will use my husbands shoe (not mine), trap it under a glass and let it suffocate and have hubs remove it later, spray it with spray glue or hair spray. It is the spiders initial response to curl up when sprayed at and this can glue them together into a ball. Lastly, if the hubs is home, yell for him! I think praying he doesn't retaliate is your only option now! lol

My ex husband told me once that we swallow spiders in our sleep. They crawl in our mouths and we swallow them. I didnt sleep for days. Freaked me out. Dunno if it true, but it was a scary thought.

I'm afraid to ask, are they called bird spiders because they eat birds? Are the size of birds? Both possibilities are frightening.

We get bird spiders in the house here. Feels like your sucking up a small animal. ?

I still check the shower head randomly throughout taking a shower because of Arachnaphobia. Most disturbing scene ever.

Stone, that mental image is going to give me nightmares

A spider never forgets... or is that an elephant? O_o

Spiders have an excellent memory. I hope he's dead for your sake.

I used to like you...

Sweet dreams. ;)

I hate wolf spiders more then any other spider. We have some HUGE ones and I always scream like a little girl

Actually ruby, some spiders carry their offspring on their backs. It could have looked like you vacuumed one, but then hundreds could pop up.

Wolf spiders!

Ruby slippers that was REALLY mean. I almost had a heart attack.

It's bag less and I already did it! I acted then thought later.

I put it outside. Will have dh empty it when he gets home. If there isn't a large (hopefully dead) spider in there I'm going to freak out that its still in my house.

Thanks I didn't think to put it outside. Geez I panic when it comes to spiders.

Ahhhh I hate spiders! I'm going to say no.

If you're not too afraid to dump out the container out of the vacuum, I say dump it in the trash and thrown that sucker outside.

If not then yeah I second putting the vacuum outside. But then you might get other spiders of bugs crawling inside it! Ahhhh!

On the contrary, the vacuum provides a nice breeding ground for spiders. They can lay eggs quickly, and soon you'll have a nest in it. They can crawl out of the vacuum and infest your entire home. Be wary at night, because that's when they're most active. You could wake up to hundreds of spiders in your room.

The above was all bull sh*t. I have no clue. ;)

I was told vacuum up dust afterwards and suffocate it.. Don't know how true, but to my knowledge I've never had one climb out...

I have no idea. I put my hand on the end of the hose and let the pressure build up. I figure that'll kill um lol. It probably doesn't though. I hate spiders.

empty the bag outside lol omgg spiders

I don't think so.

Set the vacuum on fire.

:D

Doubt it'll kill them unless you vacuum up a bunch of rocks too lol
