Don't worry...as tempting as it may be to chase you with a large spider in hand...you're too many provinces away...

I'm perfectly fine with the Ts. It's the tiny ones that scare me.

Okay, I've got the heebee jeebee's now. Eeek!! I hate spiders. We get lots of Huntsman spiders here. They grow as big too. Hubby chases them outside for me...I spray them until they are dripping. Ewwwww!!!!!

This is so true! So many people choose to kill what they fear or do not understand. Whenever i hear people talking about killing Garter snakes (or any snake) I cringe! They are so harmless and beneficial to the environment!

I used to kill spiders when I would see them in the house, then I started to realize I was a hypocrite! Even though I have a mild phobia of spiders...I always try to put them outside when I find them.

Sorry if the spider is in my home or areas myself or my family frequent their dead, end of story...most are poisonous, many are deadly.

Daddy long legs i leave alone because they're harmless. But redbacks, funnelwebs, mouse spiders, wolf huntsmans etc, yep date with the afterlife

You live in a very different place than we do...I may bend the rules myself if I lived there.

...okay...I agree...given your location...I'll cut you some slack too...

Pets are so expensive! Yesterday I went to get two more plastic boxes...at $4 each...no problem.

Then, after listening to the handy clerk at Canadian Tire talk to me (at length) about drilling holes, drill presses, diamond bits...

I opted to buy a new soldering gun (the one I have has a larger fixed tip) and will try melting holes instead. Well now...that was $32!!! And I don't know if it will work...

...wish me luck...

BTW...if there were pretty, over-priced spiderling 'kits' out there...I'd buy 'em...gotta be cheaper than DIY...
