i just sucked up 1 of those huge spiders with the vacuum cleaner, it's 1 with a bag that the dust and stuff gets collected in. i was wondering if spiders die in there or can they escape and climb out again?

i dont have a dyson, it's just an ordinary bog standard vaccum, and i didn't suck up the spider by running over it, i sucked it up with the hose attachment.

Depending on the vaccumm cleaner... spiders like other small creatures have high dexterity. If the dust has not got into its breathing holes, it might be alive. But if it cannot find a way out and gets trapped in the dustballs, sure it'll die.
Edit: Spiders do have lungs. Not mammalian lungs but book lungs. Anatomically different breathing apparatus.

The answer is "Yes!" The spider will die within several hours.
Insects, (like humans) need clean air (not dust) and a source of water to survive.
Some are more resilient than others, but in the long run all living creatures will die without these basic necessities. As for crawling out......I would imagine it depends on the vacuum bag seal. If it is secure and tight than the insect is trapped and will die shortly thereafter. You know, Buddhists believe that all living creatures deserve a right to exist. Just like humans. Even if they are considered vermin or a health risk to human life. It is our responsibility to create a living environment that will keep them out so as not to effect your life, I'm sure the spider wanted out of the bag as well as your house. Once life is taken away, it can never be restored.

First of all, I think that was a pretty smart thing to do.
Instead of trying to "squash" it or spray it with an insecticide, you found a way to get rid of it with very little discomfort on your part.
For vacuums WITH a hose:
If you used the vacuum that has the bag, and you end up throwing away that bag when it's full, then the spider is "captured and trapped" within that bag and is going nowhere.
If it makes you feel better, throw the bag in the trash can and be done with it.
But, no...the spider is not going to be able to get out now, it's a goner.
TIP:
And this is a good tip for those who might be in areas where you are plagued with those ugly "cockroaches".
Grab your vacuum, the one with the hose on it, and go suck up those roaches that are visible. Get as many as you can and then take the bag out to the garbage.
To be sure that you've killed them, after you suck them up, get a can of Raid or some other insecticide, and with the vacuum on "suck", spray a bunch of raid in the hose...guess what happens to the roaches then?

I'm a archaeologist and well it depends if the spider got hert wen sucked up. If he has poped a book lung it may die in a while. Spider doesn't breath like humans, so it could be that it will still survive in there but it depends on species. Pleas rather don't do it again! Call someone to put it outside for you!

Well it depends if your bag for the hoover is sealed tight because if so, the spider won't be able to get out and will possibly die or will just live on dust!

You have put a smile on my face, my 17year old daughter does the same, if she sees a spider out comes the hoover and she sucks the spider in, but unfortunetly it will crawl out again i have seen it happen. It it was a tiny one it would get tangled in the dust but a big no it will crawl out. Sorry

If it's a Dyson then the particles inside fly around at 67.5mph, that spider is going to get minced up!
Spiders don't have lungs, so how are they going to breath in dust????

It will still be alive, they are very resiliant because of their exoskeleton. It will probably crawl out again as long as it hasn't lost all of its legs in which case it will either die of starvation or shed its skin thereby regrowing its legs and crawl out again.
You shouldn't try to kill spiders, they get rid of other pests in your home like flies, mosquitos, moths and ants if you leave them alone and are completely harmless and usually not visible because they are afraid of humans. If you find one in an inconvenient place like the bath or the middle of the floor gently transfer it to a high up place like the top of a bookcase with a magazine and a clean glass or jar. Also if you are superstitious it is meant to be very bad luck to kill a spider.

I don't want to scare you, but I once sucked up a spider with one of those little vacuumcleaners, and I swear that it came walking right out again. I killed it with a shoe then, bit it was freaky, like something from the Twilight zone. But I think you don't have that problem with a none handheld vacuumcleaner.
