People keep saying stuff like this but I've never heard an example of an indoor pest that a spider might kill that is worse than the spider itself

What, do you have a horsefly infestation inside your home or something? Why are literal arachnids part of your pest-control setup, are you a Halloween witch?

In Australia we have flies and mozzies everywhere https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aussie_salute. A big harmless huntsman is way cool to keep around for getting them. One of the first things I noticed about moving to another part of the world was the lack of flies. God I hate them.

Houseflies are annoying in that they're hard to kill, but at least they're not sticking around long unless your house is disgusting. Spiders are always there, waiting, until you get rid of them.

Pianka reports that the Aussie salute is effective only as long as the flies are not too sticky, and that once a fly has tasted sweat, hand waving is generally useless at encouraging it to leave, with physically wiping the fly off being required.[2]

If you have so many flies in your country that a large spider being alive and free in your house is a preferable option, your ecosystem is what I like to call "hosed"

In Florida you can be a neat freak who keeps their house clean as hell and there is always like a 40% chance you'll look down at some point and a giant cockroach will be on you. It's startling to find a huntsman spider in your house at night but it's better than a roach crawling out of the cereal box while you're pouring yourself a second bowl

edit haha, beaten on the huntsman by someone on the other side of the world where they're even bigger

We'd bring in a few wolf spiders for the back room now and then when I worked at a dive bar, they eat all the insects that like fruit and sugar while staying away from people. And when the flies were back down, you'd just round up the spiders and let em free in the alley again. It was nice.

Wait which thread is this

Political Cartoons 2017/Spider Chat General

Going to share this Guardian article from a few years ago, because it's one I like to go back and read again occasionally:

quote:

A family was driven from their suburban St Louis home by thousands of venomous spiders that fell from the ceiling and oozed from the walls.

Brian and Susan Trost bought the $450,000 home overlooking two golf holes at Whitmoor Country Club in Weldon Spring in October 2007. Soon after that, they started seeing brown recluse spiders everywhere, the St Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

Susan Trost told St Louis television station KMOV-TV that in 2012 the spiders “started bleeding out of the walls”, and at least two pest control companies were unable to eradicate the infestation.

The couple filed a claim in 2008 with their insurance company, State Farm, and a lawsuit against the home’s previous owners for not disclosing the brown recluse problem.

At a civil trial in St Charles County in October 2011, University of Kansas biology professor Jamel Sandidge – considered one of the nation’s leading brown recluse researchers – estimated there were between 4,500 and 6,000 spiders in the home. Making matters worse, he said, those calculations were made in the winter – when the spiders are least active.

The jury awarded the couple slightly more than $472,000, but the former owners declared bankruptcy, the insurance company still didn’t pay anything and the couple moved out two years ago.

The home, now owned by the Federal National Mortgage Association, was covered with nine tarps this week as workers filled it with a gas that permeated the walls to kill the spiders and their eggs.

“There’ll be nothing alive in there after this,” said Tim McCarthy, president of the company hired to fix the problem once and for all.
