Not to diminish the true sense of fear they instill in you and others, but good grief!!..it's just a freakin spider...you're about 500 times larger...just squash the dagone things. Recently, while working as a counselor at my daughters summer camp this summer, a 3 foot snake dropped out of the ceiling in her cabin with about 15 other freaked out girls. I cornered it and used a coat hanger to immobilize it behind the head, reached down, grabbed it and carried it out...badda bing, badda boom...no more snakie. You will be fine
