AUS and NZ people, what is the standard protocol for when you discover a huge spider or pest in your place of living? I've heard of some people "leaving them" so they kill other smaller pests, but what if you want it out? Do you kill it or capture it or what? And how? Fuck that would be terrifying.

Don't actually really have many insect pests. The Katipo chills on the beach and you won't run into them very often. White-tails are cunts that you should kill on sight. And Wetas look scary but are pretty harmless.

Huntsman are bro, but have a not so great habit of landing on my fucking face at night. So I generally get a tupperware container and use it to put them back outside. They help keep the insect population down, so I never kill any.
