    Let him go. 1 spider is better than having all the insects he’ll kill, and you’re unlikely to see him ever again.

    Spiders are friends.

        I left a box on the floor for too long and now Billie lives in it. There is already three dessicated corpses of the enemy in the bottom.

          Yeah, each spider eats a lot of insects. If you don’t like ants, mosquitoes, and other annoying things, don’t kill your spiders. It’s not 1:1, it’s like 1:100s or more.

          And they’re far more scared of you (you’re a literal Goliath monster in their world) so if you never want to see them again, you’re unlikely to with any individual spider.

          If you treat them well, they will start trusting you. It’s weird but true.

      I mean, duh. The problem is that he’ll most likely starve in my house. There’s next to no bugs in here. But hey, live and learn. He can always leave voluntarily 😄
