Is this spider harmful?

I am so scared of its bites. How to kill it? Should I kill it now?

Hit it with your shoe.

Maybe I should ask someone to do this for me. I am a man but afraid of these insects.

Look up dangerous spiders where you live on google

If you want to kill it:

Get a news paper + cover and hit it with your hand on the newspaper + kind of smear it while pressing on the newspaper to make sure you’ve gotten it. A little messy if successful.

I think I would ask for help rather that risk being bitten by a dangerous spider.

Man I have an awful fear of spiders - I would either leave it alone or get help in getting rid of it

Next time, scoop him up and put him outside.Having spiders in your house is actually good.They kill other insects like flies.

I was bitten by a black widow when I was thirteen. I don’t know whether it is poisonous or not, but I would get it outside if you could. Away from the house you live in. Or ask someone to do it for you. I knnow it is difficult to get over fears, I am deathly afraid of moths, but I am slowly getting over these fears. You just have to do it if you want to get over any fear you have.

A good way I’ve caught critters is to take a glass jar +a thin but sort of stiff piece if cardboard. Very carefully sneak up and put the jar over the spider.

Take the flat cardboard + ease it under the jar. When it’s under carefully turn the jar with cardboard upright.

You should already have a door open to take it outside and to the place you want to turn the spider loose. I usually just put the jar down uncovered + quickly leave.

don’t kill it…
take care

Thank you everyone for replying. I didn’t kill it, it just hid itself and I couldn’t see the spider for the whole day.
