    I guess it depends on what spiders you have there. We have like house spiders here, nothing big or toxic. Harmless.

      Ya, we used to have more of the little fat slow white ones (orb weavers I think) around when I was a kid, and other than cobwebs all over the place, they never gave us trouble. I generally try not to mess with them though, or I’ll do a catch and release. But between the Brown Recluse bite I got as a teenager that took almost an entire year to heal and the other non-poisionous bites I have gotten while asleep or watching tv that take 6 weeks to heal, it’s insta-death if any others are found inside my house.
      I just realized that I am a spider racist. White and yellow get the gentle touch, but black and brown are going down.

        I guess I understand that if they are causing so much problems. Ive never lived in a country where they can actually cause harm to humans and are inside houses.
