    Spiders that have toxic poison don't get to live near my dwelling. Doing so would just invite their family and risk being tagged by one with their necrotizing poison.
    No thanks....death by flame thrower at minimum.

    Yeah, I agree with Cranola Boy. Move it out to the woods, smash it with a hammer, blast it with a 12 gauge and then set it on fire.

    I like spiders. Spiders eat bugs. I don't like bugs. More spiders equals less bugs.

    Exactly...non toxic spiders can camp around my house all they want. Inside...they best mind their p's and q's cause my cat buster likes to play with them.

    Will drowning it in brake cleaner do the job?

    I had wasps back up in NoVa that all Motorex brake cleaner did was make them fly goofy for awhile and then they seemed to ask for it. Huffer wasps?

    Hornets built a giant nest over the back door of my cabin. I had read that carpenter bees avoid hornets, so I let them stay with the understanding that if they stung me they would be drinking gasoline. My logs remain unholed, so it seemed to work.

    Depends on the hornets...there is an aggressive type. I think they are black/white colored. See those you best run.
