I used the hose and the vacuum was on the highest setting. Is it a guarantee that all spiders die when sucked into the vacuum bag, or can the escape?

He will die, yes.
Spiders are extremely delicate creatures. I’m sure the vacuum injured the spider. It might have even killed him. Even if he doesn’t die right away, he would be so injured that he would never be able to find the way out. Don’t worry. He will die. You don’t need to spray anything into the vacuum or on the bag.
Also…I’m with you. Yes, I’m glad spiders eat other bugs, but spiders are creepy. I hate them.

why the hell do people hate spiders??? dont you realize they are saving your butt right now eating all the other annoying bugs?? Spiders are the LAST thing you want to kill. why the eff wont you suck up flies or gnats, centipedes, millipedes, or mosquitoes?
and yes, spiders rely on oxygen so they may well have died by dust by the time it touches inside of the machine. you make me sick….
Not right away. He could survive until the bag or canister is dumped.Its best, I know your probably grossed out but catch him in a paper and cup and put him outside. He is beneficial to the environment.
Most likely, though it might depend on your type of vacuum or if you sucked up anything after it.
I dont think a spider could navigate its way out and newer models usually have some sort of seal when turned off (at least mine does)
I have a bag less vac with a see Thur catchment compartment ,the answer is yes they get bang up pretty bad..
First off, I’d like to laugh at the first comment. "You make me sick", LOL, people kill spiders ALL the time, get over it!
Secondly, I would think it would die, and I’m fairly certain it can’t escape. You can rest assured knowing the spider you sucked into the vacuum will not come back to haunt you, haha.
All jokes aside, I really cant get over how ridiculous the first comment was. They think they’re the spider saint or something.
It probably depends on the type of vacuum cleaner. I use an Electrolux canister vacuum, and I imagine it’s conceivable that a bug sucked into the bag might later be able to crawl out the hose, if it’s not buried under too much debris or injured.
yes it will probably die, either, as someone else said, because it is injured or, more likely, from dehydration. The inside of vacuum bags tend to be very dry. Even if there is a way for the spider to climb through the opening of the bag and back down the hose, the chances of the spider knowing the inner workings of a vacuum well enough to navigate his way back to freedom are rather slim.
As far as killing spiders, sometimes I think thats the only reason my wife still keeps me around.
Next time you empty your bag spray some surface spray into the bag,it lasts for a few month and anything that gets in there will die.I also buy a flea collar for dogs and cut of a piece and put it in my bagless vacuum cleaner.
