maybe for the spider, yes, but the hamsters an rats i had as a kid loved it! errrrr, put a glass over them, an slide some paper under it.
mostly i just chuck em outside though, dont like killing them.
My sister, (delightful child she was, NOT) used to delight in getting a big hairy housespider, and dropping it into a garden spiders web.
The result being that Mrs Garden Spider would rush out, tie all his legs together, and then eat him!
Yes, she was sick, and errrr, still is really!
