2 - Swat him with something and squish him (or flush him).
3 - Open your window, yell FIRE! FIRE! and when someone shows up, kindly invite them in for a drink and then plead with them to help you. They will then proceed to do either #1 or #2 (or possibly repeat #3).
Problem solved. Next crisis, please.

see, with a normal size spider, despite my primeval (and therefore not overcomeable) fear, i usually manage #1, if there is no-one nearby i can plead with to do it for me. i'm really not comfortable with number 2 ; they may give me the screaming willies but that doesn't mean i have the right to kill them. but with a farking mutant creature from hell such as i was faced with today, i could barely be in the same room with the thing, much less get close enough to catch it. i'm just not capable of it. i know, i'm weak.
i hope you won't hold it against me.
thus, my improvised variant on number 3 today.
