This is the second time in a year someone has burned down a house to get rid of spiders.

I keep a spider-friendly home. When I moved in there were lots of disgusting silverfish – many of them big. Now, far fewer, and usually tiny.

I let spiders be, or at most scoop them up and put them outside, except for widows and recluses.

If its in the house it gets nuked from orbit with the nearest solid object I can reach. I hate them. My blood pressure is rising just thinking that there are at least a dozen in the room I am in right now that I can't see. All venomous and ready to try their damnedest to try to kill me if it wasn't for my epidermis force field and vastly larger body size. Plus there is the whole thing about humans eat like 5 of them a year in our sleep.

I once woke up and there was a spider descending from the ceiling directly towards my face! I have an aunt that suffered a brown recluse bite. I don't know how they managed to not napalm their house. One Christmas spiders hatched from the tree and covered it with their nets. Ho ho ho! My brother just called and he is talking about spiders.

Our house has a walk-in basement and has some sort of polyfoam piece under the sill plate, before we finished it I caulked the whole perimeter inside. It really seemed to cut down on the ones that got in.

If I find them in the house I catch 'em and release 'em outside. Unless it's winter, in which case I release 'em in the garage.

Nope, nope, nope!! Fuckem! I don’t care how good they are. Too many damn legs and eyes. Yes, kill them I must as Yoda would say. I say fuckem and murder the lot of them. I don’t need spiders to kill bugs I have fucking bug spray. Yuck!!
