A new way to catch spider's.

Someone told me the other day that spiders are so abundant that even in your house and when you can't see them, you are never more than 10 feet away from at least one.

The arachnophobic person sitting next to me immediately stood up and moved herself to the center of the room!

That reminds me of the old joke: "I read that most accidents happen within 5 miles of home. So I moved."

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that doesn't kill spiders. I either relocate them outside or let them stay around if their web is behind some furniture or something.

The Spider Catcher is approximately 26" long which is enough to keep you at a comfortable distance.....

LOL! My hubby would love this tool. I'm the official spider picker upper around here. One time a big tarantula came across our driveway and I ran to get a plastic bowl to trap him. I am so fascinated with them and wanted a close-up view of them. My husband would have no part of it.

There was a spider in the bath the other day. I "convinced" it (with the help of a piece of toilet paper) to crawl under the storage door and, please, stay there for the duration of my shower. The bikes (in the storage) always enjoy company. But I'm too shy to allow a spider to see me naked in the shower!

In the fall when we have many in the place I just don't have the heart to put them outside. I just put them away from view.

I think the wolf spiders make good company. I have some large ones that like to hang out in the garage. Here's a neat picture of one:

I have a rather hands-off approach to all critters with more than 4 legs.
If I see something that doesn't belong...I usually scream like a little girl until DH comes by and removes it (grumbling and complaining, and rolling his eyes the whole time). Depending on the season, it either goes out the front door or down the terlet. Strange to think I was a biologist. But then....fish don't have more than 4 legs. I can handle anything....as long as it doesn't have more than 4 legs!
