I used to live in a house with spiders in the basement. I left them alone. When they came into the part of the hose that I normally inhabited, I caught them and put them outside. Most house spiders spend most of their lives inside, so the ones that I put outside might have died because they were clueless about how to live in the “wilderness” of suburban Chicago. Therefore I was actually breeding spiders that were content to stay in my basement.
However, that experiment in breeding stay-at-home-in-the-basement spiders was ruined when we sold the house and a developer tore it down to build a McMansion.
Spiders come into my little “airy” cabin occasionally, the way lazy workers sneak out for a cigarette break. I put them outside and tell them to get back to work catching mosquitoes and midges.
