Re: Spiders in my house!

BIG spiders. I don't think I have seen any that big around here. I am a "killer of bugs" (except for spiders). I let them live because I noticed one day that they build their web, then round up other bugs/and worms and take them into the web. When they get hungry, they bite off their heads...

As long as they do their job, they can live with me....

They are not allowed to crawl all over me tho....

I live on the edge of a forest, so it is very common to find a lot of bugs around. I guess they like to come in where it is warm. I am used to them, I know they are just from the trees....

I hate the "stink bug" as it smells sooooo bad when you kill it. I have murdered many of them this year....

Re: Spiders in my house!

We just pick them up in a tissue and put them outside before Coco gets to them.

Re: Spiders in my house!

I don't seem to get many spiders indoors and if I do and they happen to be on the floor the dog usually spots them first

This is a stink bug Longdogs. The spiders won't eat them as they smell so bad. I can hardly stand the smell when I squash them to death.....

I see quite a lot of those. Lovely colours.


Years ago I used to get flying June bugs, thousands of them from one particular tree in the road.
