Why is everyone so bothered by spiders? They actually server a purpose and that is to control other pests in the home. I actually leave spiders alone in my house. I'd rather have a few spiders than stupid ugly noisy flies or mosquitos or other bugs.

If I do want to get rid of a bug like a spider or that house centipede I found, I trap it inside a clear plastic container and take it outside and set it free.

Even a huge wolf spider or Tarantula is not going to chase you down to try and get you. Its going to be more afraid of you if you approach it.



...The only bugs I really dont want to see in my house is any kind of scorpion, highly poisonous spider or a big centipede. That video on youtube of the giant centipede eating a mouse just freaked the hell out of me!!

This thread just made me very paranoid of what is in my room at the moment. I am currently checking every square inch. Dammit.

I had a huge battle between myself and at least 30-35 spiders dwelling in a small tree shrub outside my garage involving a foolish man (me) and a half empty (or half full?) container of insecticide spray. Went on for a good amount of time but I put them in their place. Damn spiders. I hate them. Call me aracnaphobic, youd probably be right. I can't even spell the damn word.
