False Widow Spider - HELP!

Just found this little (huge) fucker abseiling from my newly opened skylight in the lounge.

A quick google tells me (s)he looks like a false widow, about 1.5cm big and could give either of my two 14 month olds who are sitting right underneath where it came in, a nasty bite.

No one tells me what to do with the crawly shitbag who is now sitting on my kitchen counter in a glass.

Any ideas?

(BTW LOOK THE FUCK AT ME CATCHING A HUGE FALSE WIDOW I AM SO f***ing PROUD OF MYSELF).

The first thing you need to do is have a word with your cats who should have caught, eaten and shat that little bastard into the litter tray better you even knew about it

I think you're safe in Shiney unless it legs it up from that London.
I never kill spiders or any insects really. They'll be more scared of you than you are of them. Release it and let it get on with its (short) life.

I'm the same really, always try to just put them outside.

Bloody loads of big spiders in the garage at the minute. Keep having to move them when i make my home brew! :)

Probably starved to death or suffocated now, has it?

It’s probably sitting there thinking “you know, I’ve eaten so many flies in the roof space and this is the thanks I get. Imagine what’ll happen when she finds out there’s cluster flies up here absolutely shitting themselves because I’m keeping them under control. She won’t be so quick with the shoe then!”
 
"'False Widow Spiders use alarm pheromones to warn their buddies about nearby dangers,' warn experts.

These chemicals are secreted by some of the group when they think they are in danger, like if the nest is disturbed or one of them is killed.

'If the nest is disturbed, guard spiders will send out these guard molecules to rally the troops,' she says.

The rest of the False Widows react to the pheromones by swarming out of the nest and attacking the intruder."
