    I've always wondered this, yesterday I vacuumed up two huge huge spiders and today when I went to empty the cylinder (Dyson) all that was in there was dust, I've always noticed this but what the hell happens to all the big stuff you vacuum up?

    They crawl out of the vacuum into your bed.

    As my distinguished colleagues have pointed out, those clever, man-eating beasts have indeed escaped and not only that, from the comfort of your bed, are now plotting their next step, sucking all the blood out of you while you sleep, thereby nourishing the next generation of what you mistakenly call "dust" - which are actually trillions of highly intelligent beings - nanospiders - the most recent batch, which you now know - were safely and cleverly transported and cocooned in the Dyson cylinder before they hatch into wilier beasts - all before going on to the next village, town, hamlet - it's all part of a conspiracy called the "World Wide Web"

    Nice knowin' ya.

    Get a shocking thing, in the shape of a tennis racket or something similar. Or, just get something flat, and smash them :D

    After you suck them up give them the gas chamber treatment with a shot of Raid or similar. They'll be there later.

    Well, I don't imagine they have crawled out, I spread them heavily with both Hot Shot and RAID and they looked pretty damn dead to me, I also crushed their legs. It's not just bugs though, even if I vacuum up large objects they still don't show up in the cylinder :s

    I just make it up as I go along... so, in a hair more time it took to read it, it was written.

    Mike, these little spiders aren't as scary as the camel spiders you saw in Iraq? Or are they....

    That's because, with some spiders, they will act dead and sometimes their legs will regenerate in as little as 2 or 3 hours!

    This is why I do not VACUUM them...

    I smash them with a fly swatter, scoop them up with the fly swatter, and then take them to the nearest bathroom and flush them down the toilet.

    It's the only way to be sure... why take a chance?

    I've known people that have been bitten by spiders and it looks horrible what it does dissolving their flesh into gooey icky stinky flesh. Hate to piss off a spider and then get bit and wind up looking like these people.

    Sweet Dreams!

    Last week found a black widow (~1 inch) hanging from the shower head. Was about to kill it clapping my hands, then worried about being bitten before it dies!! :eek:

    Ended up knocking it down and squashing it with a shampoo bottle.

    There are a lot of them around here, but I usually only kill them when in the house or garage.

    Spiders can crawl out your shower/tub drains. They tend to "float", so they won't always go down the drain and out the house. They just crawl right back in the house again...

    This is why I make sure they are good and dead and have their guts splattered (so I know they're definitely dead). Wait until they assume the "dying spider position" (legs all curled up with guts splashed out). Then, and only then, do I flush them down the toilet...

    This is why I just call them "squishies"
