I use my 'assistive device' as the big buggers are really rather fast...and pretty fragile, hence no trying to drop a glass on them either.
They won't stay confined in a smooth plastic tube (check the photo for the hasty cotton wool plug) much less a hand or two.
Using a powerful vacuum ensures they are removed with a minimum of fuss & damage to them.
I used to have a BSA Scorpion too, lent it to a 'friend' never seen again...
I still have a few .22 rifles & a Victory CP2 for occasional target practice & thankfully very occasional rat dispatching.
A shot at 50 feet with a Scorpion would be very impressive (even with the optional shoulder stock), given the spring recoil is pretty violent.
However, my situation involves spiders IN the house, so while legal, it just might not be the safest option to be firing pellets near the telly & my guitars ( although my expertise in relicing is scant, this might be exactly how to do it).
These days we put down Acclaim around each room's perimeter and have a can of red Raid for anything that evades that. Both the Mrs and I have spider phobias, so aren't a lot of help to each other.
Our long departed cat wouldn't catch spiders, but she would always point them out to us.
I said maybe.....

I leave them alone providing they leave me alone! Flies are also useful in the ecosystem, but they're still likely to be on the end of a rolled up newspaper or can of Raid!

A couple of minutes later another ran across, ' odd to see two' I thought but no need to panic,
a couple of more minutes later another ran past ..
'fucking hell I've got a nest of giant spiders' I screamed internally,.
The next one I thought I'd follow it and try and find where they're coming from, It ran in front of me along the wall and under the unit, then from the unit along the side wall, then along the long wall behind me then back round in front of me, - it was the same spider doing laps of the room!
So glad I didn't scream for the wife!
Life's complicated enough without being accused of running an unlicensed spider brothel, so out to the woodpile they go
Rather than killing it, the fly simply dropped to the floor and looked a bit stunned. As it regained its equilibrium a massive spider shot out from a small gap in the carpet where it met the frame of the patio doors and grabbed the fly before scurrying back into its hiding place with its free meal!
I’d have had to burn the place to the ground!
I’m so glad I wasn’t born in some place like Brazil where they have spiders that will actually chase you, hide under toilet seats and the like! There’s even a phenomenon over there where the spiders all make a massive web and then use it to catch the wind to migrate to a different location.
Look up and all you see are hundreds of spiders in the air! No thanks!
