Bees are a little tricky. You have to catch them against a wall or window in a clear glass jar (so you can see you actually caught it). Then you slide a piece of stiff paper underneath to cover the opening of the jar. Carefully hold both as you remove it from the wall. The bee will be super mad by now! Open your outside door and aiming the jar opening away from your house, remove the paper. As soon as the bee flies out, close your door! Success!!!
Spiders are quite a bit easier. I've taken them out in dustpans, boxes, margarine containers, or simply on a piece of paper. The size and speed of the spider dictates what type of removal tool you should use!
Savannah has picked up on spider removal quite readily. She always thinks it's "her job" to do it now. Usually we are taking spiders out of the house and putting them in my flower bed to "eat mosquitoes."
Last weekend, however, we rescued a spider while cleaning "Daddy's work." It was a pretty good sized one. We just set it outside the office door. Later, while cleaning windowsills we found a dead Lady bug (Ladybird Beetle). Savannah informed me that Lovebug had a problem! She wanted to put it outside with it's friend, the spider. Then she proceeded to tell me the spider could eat the Lady bug!
She amazes me sometimes. Lovebugs are her favorite, I never thought she would tell me one could be eaten! Guess she thought that spider was hungry and a Lovebug with a problem would solve the other problem.
