Why so many of us are casual spider-murderers

It's officially arachnicide season in the Northern Hemisphere. Millions of spiders have appeared in our homes – and they'd better be on their guard. Why do we kill them so casually?

I almost always catch and relocate....

Mr. SK also favors catch and release, so I tend to do that as well. Esp. spiders, but he will try to catch pretty much any bug rather than kill it

Agree. Leave ‘em alone!

Don’t worry, spiders.
I keep house casually.
