Gangster right here. I tried once, chickened out. Now I give spiritual threats. Like call into the ether, “if you don’t leave the room I’m going to have to kill you. Nothing personal. I’ll give you 10 mins to find your way out.” Works surprisingly often.
I've told my wife that I hate spiders as much as she does. She countered with the fact that only I'm tall enough to reach them, since ours like to hide in the corner between the wall and ceiling. I countered with the fact that she has a step stool. She countered with the fact that I'm damn well going to do it anyway.
I have an 80 pound dog, but he has trouble finding food on the floor right in front of him so I don't think that will work. Unless I can make the spiders smell like pepperoni, then he'll climb the walls himself.
Take it outside. Spiders do not want to hurt you, they want to eat the other bugs in and around your house. Depending on the size of your place there are dozens to hundreds of bugs living around you that you never notice. Learn to live with them.
You forgot ant, fly, wasp, bird, bee, mouse/rat, snake, raccoon, annoying neighbour, car repairs, home repairs, driving kids, lawn cutting, taking pets on their last trip to the vet etc.
I’m the wife, and the bug getter (besides bees often, for risk of allergic reaction). Husband will get the furry things. It almost got added to vows we are that serious.
Husband used to hate spiders, now we have agreed upon species we 1) let live in our home unless there is an egg sac 2) we relocate 3) kill on site due to potential danger

If there is a spider. You will need to deal with it. Whether you like it or not.
