An Australian mother asked her community to “remove” a spider she saw in her kitchen so she wouldn’t have to “kill” it later.
The woman, who owns a home in Sydney, took to Facebook on Monday to explain her situation before seeking help.
“Do you know anyone who would or might not object to confining spiders in their homes to transport them instead of killing them?” said.
“I am very afraid of them, but I understand that they are generally harmless and I do not want to resort to killing them as I have done before.

Most businesses will protect your property with a full-fledged insecticide spray; this means that residents must be outside for several hours before re-entering.
HOW TO AVOID SPIDERES IN THE HOME?
The most effective way to control spiders is to target their food source.
Look around your home for insects such as flies, moths and butterflies. Get rid of other insects on your property to reduce the number of spiders.
Do not leave the lights on at night as they can attract smaller insects that spiders see as food. Spiders are predators by nature, and their population size is directly proportional to the amount of food available.
Do not let clothes with pockets dry overnight, as spiders can get into pockets.
Do not leave your shoes on outside.
Seal all cracks and crevices with flexible fillers.
Cover the vents and vents with a copper mesh.
Make sure all windows have screens.
Hire a spider control specialist to help you get rid of dangerous spiders.

A lot of monster hunters have been seen in Australia in recent years and Samantha Moore has found one of the biggest hunters in her home.
Ms. Moore turned off a light switch in her Mackay home when she saw something huge moving suddenly behind her Wi-Fi box.
‘I put my head in the corner and lo! This giant spider could easily have been the size of my head,” said Daily Mail Australia.

Mackay resident Samantha Moore dreamed of the giant hunting spider hiding behind her Wi-Fi box on Tuesday.
The arachnid appears comfortably the size of a human hand or even a plate.
A photo of the fighter next to Miss Moore’s internet router shows her shocking size.
The Wi-Fi box is 21 inches long and 13 inches wide—and the Mackay resident said the creature sat on top of it at one point, and its legs passed easily over the edge.
“The spider was very scary,” he said. “We usually get the big ones, but nothing like that.”

Samantha Moore turned off a light switch in her home when she suddenly saw something big moving behind her internet router.
“This is the biggest spider I’ve ever seen.”
Brave Miss Moore said she emptied a large box of cookies on her desk and trapped the giant spider.
“It froze when I caught it, so it made the process so much easier for my already frightened self,” she continued.
