Even in this dusty-ass southern American town I live in, we don't get spiders that large.
But, because they eat all sorts of things that hit their nets (including the insanely large amounts of mosquitoes we get each year) they're more of a benefit than a harm, so what I usually do is put a jar over the sucker, slip a piece of writing paper underneath, and once it's secure send the arachnid outside where we won't accidentally startle it.
Still... glad to see that you got rid of that unwanted house guest.
Holy shit! Even in this dusty-ass southern American town I live in, we don't get spiders that large
