    Well I assume they die after they are flushed.

    Flies need to be killed.
    Spiders get released.

    Infact i just remembered something.

    creenings were carried out in four mechanico-biological municipal wastewater treatment plants in two climatico-geographic regions of Slovakia (submontane region: Levoca, Poprad and Tatranská Lomnica, lowland region: Michalovce). Ovoscopical studies traced the occurrence of helminth eggs in stabilized sludges in sludge beds. The flies (Diptera-Brachycera) are considered as potential biological vectors of helminth eggs. The stabilized sludges in sludge beds showed the presence of a wide range of helminth eggs Ascaris sp. 0-184 spec. Hymenolepis sp. 0-5 spec. Toxocara sp. 0-17 spec. Taenia sp. 0-2 spec. Trichuris sp. 0-17 spec. a Capillaria sp. 0-4 spec./100 g of sample dry matter. In the areas of four sewage treatment plants 461 fly specimens (358 females, 103 males) were captured, belonging to 31 species. On three specimens of Protophormia terraenovae ectoparasites (mites) were detected. No eggs were found on the body surface of the flies.

    Just flies, we've got about 5 spiders living on our kitchen ceiling, I'd never kill them. Plus we don't get many flies in the house so I'm willing to bet the spiders are doing a good job.

    You might aswell kill house spiders because they don't survive very long outside.

    If a spider makes it awkward for me to get it out the window then I kill it, but generally I don't and they don't really bother me. Had a fairly large one on a sheet of paper the other day but dropped it and never found it again.

    Any sort of fly that makes noise and enters my bedroom must die ASAP.

    No, i feel bad. Catch and release them into the garden.
    I'm terrified of spiders though but i can manage to put a glass over them. Then they wait there till the missus gets home , she can deal with them :smiley-laughing002:
