Windex won’t kill it.

I am seeking possible suggestions on how to get rid of a creepy medium spider that is living in my aloe vera plant in my kitchen without killing the plant.  I sprayed it with Windex on 3 separate occasions but apparently it is a super-spider and is still alive. And yes I hit it with the windex each time and drenched it.  Windex works for ants… so why not spiders.  It is not a black widow but it sure could be a cousin… it is black and lives hovering over the moist soil of the plant pot.  I finally got rid of my ant problem and not this insect needs to go.  Oh I also pulled a tick out of my cat’s chin last week… what’s going on here? I got the whole tick out though… that’s like my 3rd time pulling out a tick (1st time on my own pet) – I’m a pro at that if anyone needs help although I hate ticks more than any insect.. then fleas, then spiders and then ants.

A side note: That police station that Paris Hilton was locked up in last night is my local police station down the street from my apartment. Ha.. another rich idiot busted.
