(OT) I know I over reacted about a spider before but
Guess what? Now my house is overrun with them! Apparently the one I killed
(along with it's little babies riding on its back) wasn't the only one. Now they're in my bedroom. And I tried to do the nice thing and "set it outside" except it wasn't having any of that. It wouldn't let me gently scoop it up on a piece of paper and put it outside. Damn thing runs faster than my cat! No, it had to get into my laundry basket. Sorry folks, I'm calling a fumigator.

Jill To scoop any bug, I use a piece of thin cardboard (like the ones at the back of paper notepads) and a wide jar or a big clear glass. I put the jar/glass over the bug and slide the cardboard underneath without hurting their legs. Then the bug isn't able to run away and off it goes outside. Bobble |

Bobble Seems I can't do the right thing no matter what. First I killed a spider with bug spray and everyone bitched about it. Last night I tried to scoop one up to put it outside and it ran faster than a cat and got away into a nice clean basket of clothes. (This one also had babies swarming off her.) I love nature as much as anyone. But I'm not going to live in a house infested with spiders. Sorry, Bobble. The bugs gotta go. Jill |

Jill Speaking as one who likes spiders (they eat ants and roaches) Spiders don't eat Palmetto bugs. They don't call this the Palmetto State for nothing Think it's about trees? Nope, it's about bugs. LOL *is* a limit FGS. I am not scared of them....and you obviously are, no sweat, no diss. I'm not scared of spiders, I just don't want them and their babies in my house. And it happened really quickly. Needless to advise: lock Persia up in another part of house till fog settles down and also consult and read directions as to safety of product for household pets! Anyone who deplores my suggestions can **** *** **** **, LOL. Hop, I already consulted with Terminex and the stuff they use is not harmful to cats or dogs. I won't have to vacate my home or lock Persia in the bathroom. I also won't have to stay a motel room, which I thought I might have to. Nope! Jill |

What will you do with the cats while it is being done? Joy |

Damn thing runs faster than my cat! No, it had to get into my laundry basket. Sorry folks, I'm calling a fumigator. the only thing I do not like is a big spider, for some reason I am a bit scared of them. However I have trained myself over the years to collect them up in a big towel and then flap it out of the window. I would not like to kill them. Like I said before, it's not their fault I have a horror of them and it's not a reason to kill them. You cannot get a spider on to a piece of paper and expect it to stay there, it will run. Tweed |

Spiders only thrive in a very healthy environment. Be glad they approved of your living conditions... |

It is not necessary to kill them, they can be put outside if you are brave enough. I am not very brave with the big ones, they are the only thing I don't like, but I manage to put them outside without killing them now. Maybe they don't like it as they are "house spiders" I don't like spiders. At all, never. |
