Hi, Last week I saw a big spider I think its a Huntsman spider.
Now, I don't know where it is...But next time I see it should I kill it?
Theres bunch of roaches in my house...Do Huntsman Spiders eat them?I hate roaches most but I just get the feeling that someday it will go somewhere and bite me.What should I do? Thanks!

In the tropics people are often glad to have huntsman spiders
in their houses, because they do eat the roaches. It is next to
impossible to keep such things out of houses in the tropics,
and difficult even in temperate areas. The spiders are not
aggressive and their bite would be of little consequence if
they did bite. About the only time a spider bites is when it is
trapped against a person and can't get loose. You didn't say where you are located geographically, but, if you are in the
United States, the only spiders you need to worry about are
the widow spiders and the recluse spiders. Neither of these
is a really serious problem because of their lack of
aggressiveness.

Huntsman Spiders are harmless if you leave them alone & WILL eat the roaches just hope the spider mates & you get a lot of spiders then no roaches & the spiders will leave when food is all gone problem solved

Yes, do not kill him. He wont bite u, let him eat the roaches, or, If u can't stand to look at him, just get him out of the house. For the roaches, well, do not use any chemical warfare weapons. It is best to destroy them manually. I know, my house is filled with roaches. and don't let them lay eggs. _

Just get a bit of paper and a glass (Pint glass would be good) Put the glass over the spider slide the paper under it then throw it outside away from your house.

Kill them and the roaches - then clean your place - dirt attracts roaches - roaches attract all types of critters looking for a meal.....

Since I have a lifetime fear of spiders (arachniphobia), I think the only option is to move.
