Keep it in the jar and put it in the freezer. The cold will kill them. Leave it in there for about a week just to make sure.

. . . and the egg sack. We don't need hundreds more of them running around.

Feeling sorry? Heck, they don't mind biting you, which CAN be lethal. They'll never shed a tear.

take it out in the woods and let it go and let nature decide if the hatchling live or not...spiders control insects and provide food for other small animals

I found a professor at Ohio university who will adopt it.I supposse maybe use the venom for antitoxins.

After a few phone calls I found a Universary in Ohio willing to adopt Her and Her eggs.I also found out that even in captivity She may produce 3 more eggsacs in a summer,each sac containing up to about 400 eggs.of these about 30 may survive and be sexually mature in about 3 months.Here is a picture of Her and her eggsac.
