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.

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.

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.

You can put one or two outside, but when there are dozens or more, that is a
physical impossibility.

You should be REALLY happy about this.
Spiders only thrive in a very healthy environment.
Be glad they approved of your living conditions...


Yeah right... I don't want them in my bedroom. Or in my kitchen. Get out
of my house!

Yes, that would be difficult but I would not want to breathe in the
insecticide/chemicals that are required to kill them.

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

Great. I have a feeling you will be rid of more than spiders, like,
all freeloading summer
bugs.
I had no idea SC is Palmetto State. That's ROFL funny. FL is the
Sunshine State but palmetto
bugs are abundant the they hang out by urban street lights but also
invade homes inside
your bag of groceries, etc. They fly high and go for your hair. They
don't live in MileHigh. I
have seen 5-inchers in Miami.

*Why* is it that whenever you scare them, like my turning the light on
in the garage, they run *towards* you instead of away? *that's* what
creeps me out about roaches, especially cockroaches as big as my hand...
that *FLY*!

There is really isn't any animal that creeps me out, except one. Of
course there are many, like tigers, that I wouldn't want to be in the
vicinity of without something between.

Roaches! They run *towards* you when you scare them, they're creepy and
they *crunch* when you step on them and can scamper away when they're
half crunched!!! EEEEEE-YUKKKKKKKKKKKK!

Never seen one, but I think I could cope with one, rather than a huge
spider. I am afraid of no insects, moths, nothing except those big spiders.
I have asked myself why, I still have no idea. It's not like they are going

i just cannot. Bring on the roaches, I will swap them for big spiders,
every time.
