Eeek!!! Kill it! Kiiillll iiiiit!!!

This may not look like a big spider in the picture, but it was indeed a huge hairy spotted jumping spider. When compared to the size of the ceiling fan you should be able to understand why there was no way I was getting closer to get a better picture. Jim put it in a glass and flushed it,  but neither of us could confirm we actually saw it go down the drain. Do we burn the house down or simply abandon it?
