Are there any efficient spider traps on minecraft?

Question

I have a full suit of iron armour but I can't kill any spiders without dying myself. I was wondering if there was a simple yet efficient spider trap/killer in Minecraft.

Answer

If you're fighting spiders that are out in the open in the day, try setting fires near them so that they take damage without getting angry.

At night, try to arrange things so there's a one-meter gap they can't get through.

If you find a spider spawner, light the room completely, arrange the room so it's only got one exit, and plant one or two cacti on either side of the exit so that any spider that tries to get to you will press itself to death on the cactus. Set up water flow so that any string dropped by the spider will flow toward you.

Note: spiders that kill themselves this way will not drop any XP or spider eyes. You can make a bunch of stone swords, though, and whack the spiders while they try to get at you; they can't squeeze through a one-meter gap.

(Of course, if you find the tiny blue POISON spiders, they'll jump right through. I suggest avoiding those; they don't drop anything different.)
