How to kill Spiders ?
I have a fear of spiders and I don’t know what to do when I’m living on my own! Any tips?

There are small hand-held vacuums made to suck bugs up. Their exoskeletons are broken in the process and they die. A more utilitarian hand van meant for cleaning does the job, too.
You can place a glass over the spider, then slide a piece of stiff paper under it, and take it outside, setting it down. The paper will fall away and Mr. Spider will leave.
You can crush it if it's where that's possible. You don't have to use your hands and a tissue if you prefer not to be that close.
You can mix peppermint oil and water in a spray bottle and routinely spray doorways, windows, and spider's favorite hangouts. They don't like the smell. (Mice don't, either.) When I keep up with it, I see almost no spiders.

Well the only tip someone can give you is to conquer your fear, but I'm sure it's easier said than done, because you wouldn't be here if it was easy. Advice from yahoo is not recommended. Seek professional help from someone who is licensed to help you practice developing a tolerance for a phobia, like a psychiatrist or therapist. The most common phobia's that seeks counseling are people who have a fear of clowns, and they receive practice on how to dominate their fears.
