What is the best, spider-friendly way to capture a spider indoors? I don't mind spiders (I currently have cellar spiders in my foyer & as a kid I had jumping spiders in my window sills). After getting bit by a brown recluse last fall (mild but miserable), I realized that it probably would be a good idea to relocate any spiders that could seriously harm my children if they were to accidentally get bit (I know spiders are defensive not aggressive). I prefer to relocate spiders, not kill them, as they are an important part of our ecosystem. Since spiders are quick runners, I haven't had have much success catching them.
