how to move this outside

Guys... It's missouri. I used to live up there and for like 90% of all spiders up there, they are daddy long legs.
Completely harmless.

A picture actually could help at this point for us to diagnose your problem as a harmless group of spiders or a spider whose bite will cause skin to go necrotic.

I'll give you my email if you want an answer.

The body of a daddy long legs is tiny. We've got em all over the place here. Brown recluses have a much bigger looking body. 

I'm interested to see what you've got, Birdbrain. Let us know!

I am against killing anything except for food, and nothing anyone says will ever change my mind

So you would rather die than kill a rabid dog attacking you?

I have not read the rest of the thread, but what you have is the brown recluse. This thing delivers a nasty bite that will fester and rot the skin around it. My friend got bitten by one once, and he still has a scar about the size of a penny on his arm. If you won't kill them, you need to remove them another way. I would suggest removing the chair leg if that's a possibility and just putting it outside. Then I would don gloves and scrape them off carefully.

Would the dog really be considered alive at that point?  If it isn't put down, it will die from its sickness. To stop it from attacking, you have to put it down. In a sense, wouldn't rabies be a form of zombification?

Spiders just terrify me, even more than staring into the face of an angry Emrakul the Aeons Torn. I would personally just call someone to stomp the living crap out of them. 😱

Yeah move those fast
Brown recluse are nasty

I don't know now. It doesn't realy look like the spider in the picture. Might just be a daddy long legs

Good on bird. I'm a spider fan too. The real poisonous varieties are few in number and can be identified with out too much trouble (though a few unfortunate benign varieties do look very similar and tend to get targeted by shoes). Plus, the internet is rife with misinformation (who would've thought) and innaccurate pictures about brown recluse bites and though necrosis from their bites can occur much of the internet e-gore is just plain bogus. I'd toss the mom in a jar and check with a pest control specialist or someone else a bit less layman than all of us before deciding their fate. If its all good just scoop up the babies with a paper towel and deposit them in a dry dark place like under a porch. It never hurts to use a glove, though, just in case.

And Bird, I value the sanctity of all life but if it's a brown recluse kill it. A live family of those are a damoclean sword for your home.

You won't kill to protect your own life? I understand protecting life and nature, but that is the way of the nature: things kill each other to eat, survive, eliminate competition and procreate. If you kill every spider that gets in your house, the ones that are afraid of human beings will procreate more than the ones who are not, it is called natural selection. Every living being is a part of the process

I took a pic with my phone...how do I post it?

Post it in any online holster (even Facebook), right click, copy image URL, post it here like this:

I may be wrong about the BB code. If so, just edit it and post the URL directly here

I'd kill an animal for food, in defense, or if it is a pest that doesn't belong to someone else, Ex. I would kill a fly, gnat, or mosquito without resentment, but I'm not about to go shoot my neighbor's dog because it keeps barking. :/ I'd kill them if I were you, but I'm not, so I recommend getting rid of them in some other way, possibly taking the desk outside, putting the spiders in a container, and then releasing them back onto a tree or something.

👆spi-I-I-I-der-sssss *shiver, shiver*

I live in Australia, and let me just say, some spiders are much better off dead. Some spiders here will kill a small child, where as others don't warrant a second look.

I actually wanted to have a pet tarantula when I was growing up, but I think my parents would have killed it.

Proper identification really helps when determining a spiders fate, and it sounds like if you are on the brink of infestation you have a bit of a choice. Do it the easy way now, or pay a professional to come and spray your house every year for 2 years until they are gone.

As mentioned survival of the fittest does apply here. Relocation may be an option but in a far better habitat than just outside your house would be more appropriate.

Spiders are fascinating creatures, but a healthy respect is always necessary when dealing with poisonous varieties.

Lastly I too understand if it was the last spider of that variety on Earth, it should be protected and saved etc, but I highly doubt this is the case. If its caused this much concern, then kill it and move on. There will be more to take its place soon enough.
