I was in my pool today trying to catch bees that were swimming around because my niece was scared to go in the water around them. She pointed out a spider on my shoulder (not a very menacing one, but I still hate spiders) so I took the net in my hand, splashed it off my shoulder, caught it in the net, and held it under water for a few minutes. Seriously, some people can be manly when it comes to spiders, but I'm not one of them. Spiders scare the shit out of me.

Just keep tipping the jar over and squash him with the edge of it when he attempts his escape.

If you hate spiders, you must enjoy living with the insects they prey upon. Every fly they kill is a fly that I won't have to worry about landing on my food, every dead mosquito is a few less bites.

It is a male imo ( it has quite big pedipalps )
It is really hard to tell the specie if we don't have a close picture. We need to know hom many eyes it has etc...

But every giant spider you don't kill is a giant spider in your house.

Looks like a huntsman spider, they move really fast and don't put down web. Their bite will irritate, but unless you bother them they won't bother you. They are good to keep around to kill random bugs.

Actually if you're in Canada, probably not a huntsman.

Leave it to R1CH to explain everything :D

I fucking hate spiders. Most of the time I found them in the bathroom, and Mani speaks the truth, boiling them is the way to go.

Few years ago I couldn't even see a spider on TV / image. I remember once throwing a magazine and shouting in the train because I flipped the page and there was a full page spider picture :| Everyone stared at me :|

Continuously blow cigarette smoke into the jar, once he is sufficiently addicted to the nicotine u can release him back into the wild with a new addiction other than flies

Make a hole in the jar cap, fill it to the top with water and toss it in the freezer.

Get a terrarium for it and throw insects you find around your house in there. Best solution EVAR.

Leave it frozen for like 5 years (that's gotta be like 1000 years for a spider right?) and then put it out near some other spiders to dethaw. Maybe 2 teenage spiders will find him and try to bring him to their spider high school. They'll try to pass him off as a modern spider but he'll get into all sorts of crazy shenanigans. Along the way, they'll teach him about modern spider life, and maybe he might just teach them a thing or two.

Do that, imo.
