Want to be kind but still evict? Buy a spider cup and a piece of stiff paper. Trap the spider under the cup, slide the paper under, and release it outside. It feels like magic.
This is great for kids. You can pretend the spider is going on a vacation to the jungle. “Bye, Steve! Enjoy the woodpile.”
You save the spider, you save your sanity, and you avoid a stain on the wall. It’s a win-win. Plus, you get a story to tell.
