I downvoted because of the title's implication that OP kills spiders for no reason. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I just remember the very 2007-ish inverse of this: Look out for your local spider gang, and they'll look out for you. XD

I just started believing it... 😳

Judging by all the spiders I've killed at this point in my life I'm probably on the most wanted (non-exterminator) board LMAO

Jumping spiders are just the gateway to spider propaganda!

Sadly, I live in an area with brown recluses and black widows. I don't smoosh, but definitely catch and toss outside

Then who keeps the Cats under control‽

I am always this crow. I haven't intentionally killed a spider in three? years I think. they are my eight legged friends :)

Currently dealing with carpet beetles, more specifically their larvae. They like to eat things like hair and also anything made out of natural fibers. They're also extremely small. I noticed them when I emptied the laundry basket and after staring at them for a moment realizing that they were bugs, they started moving. I have hardwood floors and I keep finding them. I sweep the floor with a broom into a white dustpan and stare at it and then after 30 seconds or so I see movement. One or two each time, everywhere all over the house. I found a forgotten hair brush under the couch and there was one in there. They're completely harmless except that they will eat holes in your clothes. They take a long time to go from larvae to flying beetle. They can also survive without eating for 30 days. The original beetle could have just flown in from outside or came in on fresh flowers. They also like women's underwear because of the pheromones. The eggs must have been in a piece of clothing and then got spread around the house before hatching.

centipedes are kos, spiders are cool, spiders can chill

When I was a kid, I was scared of spiders, house centipedes, and heights. On a school trip to a tall building, I was terrified but eventually worked up the courage to look over the edge. The fear disappeared, and I realized that if I could overcome that, maybe I could face other fears too. So, I started learning about the things that scared me; spiders, centipedes, the dark, etc. I found that the more I learned about something, the less frightening they became. For example, house centipedes are harmless, clean, and even help by getting rid of destructive pests. Understanding really helps ease fear. It confuses me that some people seem to want to stay afraid instead of trying to overcome it.

Most indoor spaces aren't infested. Having a little hunter around helps keep it that way

Yeah in theory I would love to not kill them, or even relocate outside. But once I see one, it’s fight or flight

Awwwww, you get lizards? I've never seen a house lizard. I'm guessing you're Australian.
