My place has a few wolf spiders around. I don't mind them, since I like watching them and they do pest control.

For the past week though, every time I go into my bathroom, I find a male wolf spider in the sink. Since the sides of the sink are slippery, he can't walk out once he falls in. I have to rescue him with a sheet of TP. At first I assumed there were several spiders falling into the porcelain bowl, but after the sixth or so time I'm starting to get the feeling it's the same one. I've nicknamed him Steve.

Steve isn't a very smart spider and as an adult male he likely won't live for too long, but I'm worried I might accidentally wash him down. Does anyone have recommendations for keeping Steve out of my bathroom sink? I'd prefer to keep him as a roommate.

Pictures of Steve (Sorry for potato)

 

[Stet]

Kill it and place the corpse elsewhere. That'll keep it out of your sink.

BURN THE HOUSE DOWN

This is your problem right here.

 

[Wyndstryker]

If you want to keep it alive, put it somewhere far from the sink

Our OP might be one.

 

[Regiruler]

Toss him outside the house.

 

[Gr1mLock]

I would introduce steve to the business end of my shoe

 

[emb]

I probably couldn't help but kill with the water on reaction.

If you don't want to go that route, just take him outside (or move him to a totally different room) and see if he ends up back there.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Wouldn't worry there's at least 250 in any one home. Spider season is coming soon.

 

[NaturalHigh]

How do you know it is a male?

NOT AT ALL DELICIOUS HUMAN NOW RESUME LETTING YOUR GUARD DOWN

LOVE SPIDER MAN PUNCHERRRRrrrrrrrrrrrjgelfglbflkwjbfkqsdbfl

 

[Toxi]

Gonna see about moving him to my bedroom next time he winds up in the sink.

How do you know it is a male?

Enlarged palps (Used for sex) and general legginess.

 

[Halo 2]

Turn on the water now!

Shit, OP is actually dead and Steve has taken over.

 

[Alaskanbullworm]

Have scientists learned how to light water on fire yet?

How do you know it is a male?

Damn, I have the perfect response to this, but I fear of the outcome

 

[Statue of Limitation]

OP kills women in his bathtub and lets the spiders eat their bodies.

Silly beggars keep falling in sink instead

 

[Summer Haze]

My place has a few wolf spiders around.

 

[Volcane]

Chuck him outside. Probably searching for a mate, which is why he is always ending up in your sink.

Why would he look in the big white chasm of nothingness?

 

[akira28]

Steve is trying to get the magical ring from the bottom of your sink trap and you keep fucking him up.

 

[daemonic]

Maybe they're emerging from the drain. Leave Steve in the sink and watch him multiply.

 

[Hypemaster]

I'd prefer to keep him as a roommate.

*Looks at avatar*

It all makes sense now.

 

[Kerned]

He's pretty small for a wolf spider. Toss him outside, he'd probably be happier there.

 

[Volcane]

Why would he look in the big white chasm of nothingness?

Just on its travels. It doesn't know it can't get back out.

 

[Tarkus]

Smash him ya hippie

 

[PeskyToaster]

How do you know it is a male?

his giant ass spider penis

 

[Ionian]

I had a spider living in my bathroom once on the windowsill above the toilet. Every single time I had a piss he'd come out of the little nook he was living in and watch me pee. I nicknamed him "George Michael".

Then one day he never came out and I never saw him again.

I miss George Michael

Make a tiny ladder for Steve to climb out of the sink with. A piece of yarn draped over the side will help him climb out.

No lie we had a bird stuck in the wall of our house once and so my dad got a rope, made several knots in it, and threw it down into the wall. The bird climbed out using the rope and hopped down an actual ladder we had placed next to the wall and then it went out the front door.

 

[FloppyDelux]

if you want to keep him, keep in in a insect aquarium

Steve's definitely looking for a gal, but I've seen female wolf spiders around the house too.

He won't live very long and he's constantly looking for a mate. Feels wrong to stop him.

That's a genius idea. I'll try it out!

 

[Az]

I have a lizard that keeps hanging around my back porch and have also named him Steve. Deathmatch?

 

[Zantetsuken]

I'm more surprised Steve is not at the water treatment plant by now.

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

Yeah, I was gonna say just line a side of the sink with toilet paper.

 

[Twilight Gap]

Obligatory

I had my own spiderbro before. We had a pretty bad mosquito problem, but this little guy (and by little I mean huge) decided to hang out by the front door and catch all of them for us. We left him there for a while until he moved one day.

But inside? In the bathroom of all places? Sorry, Steve would be scuba diving in my house.

 

[AlStrong]

Steve's definitely looking for a gal, but I've seen female wolf spiders around the house too.

Yeah but what if their great grandmothers were related?

 

[Vermillion]

Don't we all check every now and then?

*pretends to look thoughtful*

 

[zma1013]

Does anyone have any idea wtf these spiders are that decide to make webs out in the middle of the air? I have this web in my front yard and it looks like it's floating in the air and it's about 3 feet off the ground and at least 10 feet from my house and the nearest tree that it's attached to. WTF is this man?

 

[Mr-Joker]

If Steve isn't a very smart spider, is it wise to let him find a mate and pass his stupid gene on?

I say take Steve outside and with a knife and a gun and see if he survive.

Welp, this thread is the biggest mistake of my day. Time to never shower again.

 

[LilWayneSuckz]

A thread about WOLF spiders constantly falling in sinks + OPs avatar =

Burn it down OP, especially if the spider in your avatar is a pet

 

[AcademicSaucer]

When i lived in the amazon for a few months, we found a giant scolopendra in the backyard (google that at your own risk), fire was used that day, i advise OP to do the same.
