Re: Spiders
Spiders are so useful, not only do they catch flies but they show that you have a dry house. I don't mind mice either which I think has been a cause of disappointment to those expecting a show - leave them where they are unless they are in the way then use a yellow duster to pick them up and show them the door.

To all you people who cry out how cruel etc., you have to understand what being an arachnophobe means!! So cut us some slack, yeah?

I still find the odd one, but at least they aren't that big a problem as they would have been if left alone.

Re: Spiders
I truly do believe how folk have a phobia against certain creatures, honestly I do, as I have suffered something similar in the past with daddy long-legs. Oooh, they terrified me , until I overcome my fear of them.However, having overcome that fear, I do now ask how can anyone be terrified of something that can not harm them? That's how I cured my phobia.
It's an untreated psychological fear of something which can not possibily harm and is probably due to a childhood experience.
Look at it this way. As a big human creature, you could end the life of that insect in a second because you're so much bigger and stronger than they are. They are fragile and are no match for you, so what is there to fear? Why be afraid of that which cannot harm you?
I'm sure I've said this before recently on here.

Re: Spiders
I know it seems illogical but we can't easily control our fears, on one occasion I was watching tv and something caught my eye on my fireplace rug, it was a HUGE spider unlike anything I've ever seen and it was running towards me!I know it couldn't do me any harm but just to see it travel at the speed of light towards my feet nearly rendered me unconscious!

Exactly, Honey. They are fast, ugly and just have no place in my home. I couldn't go about my daily business or try to sleep if I knew one was still roaming about.
