Comment on My wife showing me the spider whose whole family I must kill because it crossed her path once.

Spiders are our friends. They eat bugs. Let them be your little insect-control partners in your household.
I was putting up curtains for my parents this morning and a spider hanging out nearby had its web wobbled by pulling out the curtain pole, then it just oscillated violently for like 30-60 seconds.
Remarkably versatile creatures, i would probably die if i was getting shaken that quickly. But i guess it happens a lot to them because they usually live on their cobwebs, in suspension and at the mercy of wind or passing beasts.
Until you have 30+ running around at night leaving webs on and around everything that you get to walk through and clean up. And I mean everything floor to ceiling strands from them dropping down, across doorways, spanning anything they walk across. No. I don’t have a problem with them outside, do your work little buddies, but not in the house. It’s bad enough anything in my garage gets covered in webs within a day, I don’t need it in the house.

Most importantly yellowjackets, the terrorists of the natural world.
