No, they drown. Spiders which you find in the bath have fallen in, not, as widely assumed, emerged from the plug-hole, as they cannot get past the U-bend (they drown).
It may be surprising. Spiders don't emerge from the dark, gurgling abyss of the drain hole. Sorry, myth busted. In actuality, it's more likely they come from under your bathroom door, or a crack in the window or elsewhere.
The truth – which you'll probably be relieved to hear – is that spiders don't come up the plughole of your bath. There is almost always a U-bend in the plumbing just below your plug holes. The reason for this isn't to keep spiders coming up them, but to stop items falling down and clogging the drain.
They drown and die. Then they end up in the water treatment plant where they are filtered out along with the other solids. These solids end up in large tanks called “digesters” where they are broken down by bacteria for 3-4 weeks.
The only things that are okay to flush down the toilet are pee, poo and toilet paper. Anything else can lead to sewer back-ups and blockages in the system.
Prophylactics, or condoms, are another common item many people flush down their toilets because it seems like the most convenient option for disposal.
There are only three things you can safely flush down the toilet into the sewer system —pee, poo and (toilet) paper. Just remember those three as the three Ps that you can flush. And don't forget, "flushable" wipes are not really flushable.

It is a good idea to flush multiple stink bugs at a time so that you do not waste water and soap flushing them one by one. The soapy water is also a smart way to vacuum them up. Fill the bottom of a wet vac with soapy water and then use the hose to suck up the stink bugs.
White Vinegar
In a spray bottle, mix white vinegar and water in equal parts. Then, get ready to spray whenever you see a spider—the acidic nature of the vinegar will kill the spider on contact.
Like all animal species, spiders need water to survive. That's why they're drawn to your bathroom, especially during more arid times of the year, such as fall and winter. In an otherwise dry house, sometimes bathrooms are the only place to find moisture.
It certainly could, depending on the vacuum cleaner. If there is a clear way out, the huntsman could make its escape when the vacuum is turned off. That's assuming the spider survived being sucked up, that there were surfaces it could stick to, and there were gaps big enough to squeeze through.
Depending on the strength of your plumbing system, it could take a few flushes for the spider to go all the way down. It could come back up to float in the water, but do not let it alarm you. The chances of it crawling back out are extremely low. Since there are many species of spiders, their ability to survive varies.
If you truly can't stand that spider in your house, apartment, garage, or wherever, instead of smashing it, try to capture it and release it outside. It'll find somewhere else to go, and both parties will be happier with the outcome. But if you can stomach it, it's OK to have spiders in your home. In fact, it's normal.

If you are thinking about getting rid of cockroaches by flushing them down the toilet, think again. Cockroaches are dangerous to have around. These filthy creatures are directly linked to stomach illness, asthma and various diseases.
Our sewer systems were designed to only transport toilet paper, water and human waste. Which means only toilet paper, water and human waste can be safely flushed down the toilet. Items marketed as “flushable” are regularly found in clogged pipes and broken pumps throughout the sanitary sewer system. Don't flush them.
MALES will go to extreme lengths to get females, but playing dead might not seem like an obvious strategy. Some male nursery web spiders, however, regularly feign death, and those that do are more likely to mate.
They don't feel 'pain,' but may feel irritation and probably can sense if they are damaged.
No, they don't vocalize in any way. They do, however, make sounds. Some vibrate their abdomens in a way that could be faintly audible; this is a signaling behavior used to communicate with prospective mates.
Cotton balls, cotton pads, and Q-Tips are definitely not safe to flush — they don't break down the way toilet paper does, and all they really do is clump together in your pipes and cause problems down the line.
IT IS FOR WATER CONSERVATION: The larger lever is to flush out around 6 to 9 liters of water, whereas the smaller lever is to flush out around 3 to 4.5 liters of water. Clearly, the larger one is to flush solid waste and the smaller one is to flush liquid waste.
Treatment plants effectively remove toilet paper from wastewater, but all other garbage should go in the trash can. These Items belong in the trash can. The only thing you should ever flush down a toilet is human waste (urine and feces) and toilet paper.
