There's a spider in my cupboard

Some supposedly "humane" pest control people empty prairie dog burrows with a giant vacuum cleaner.

Un huh, but I wonder what it does to their hearing. It's an important sense to a prairie dog. I was chewed out by several just today.

I am scared to death of spiders and I could never just leave it there. I would have had the vacuum out at the first sight of it.

It's very nice of you to let it live there and I can only assume that you're not afraid of them :-)

Hairy little cat-humans that eat bugs..eech And who is the role model here? :-)

My dog picks up snails and crunches them. Maybe I should supply the butter and garlic.

Spiders are our friends.

Montana, I am, sort of, scared of them. They creep me out. If one ever crawled on me I'd probably do the world's most ridiculous dance. But I know that they're not the ones chewing through my bags of pasta and leaving little piles of pasta dust everywhere. So they can stay. Did I mention I found the boyfriend on the second shelf? Yeah, they're quite a pair, and they can stay for now. At least until the next time I clean my cupboard, which could be quite a while.

Well, if she mates with the boyfriend she will probably eat him....then you will only have one :-)

LOL! Well, at least she'll be busy with the boyfriend and will stay out of your hair ;-)

I have such a fear of them that I couldn't even live with knowing they're there. Just thinking of spiders gives me the shivers.

Two words: upside-down glass.

uhm, if she and her beau meet and get right to it, you'll have not two, but two hundred hairy spiders in the cupboard. and everywhere else. Ever seen a litter of one spider? hundreds i tell ya, hundreds! do not leave both of them there unattended. at least assign a chaperon to keep an eye on them.

Damn good point, Dag

Well, so much for romance.

sorry.
may lord bless and keep spiders....far away from us!

Well, I just believe in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness - whether it's pursued on two, four, or eight legs.

I believe in life as well, but I have to draw the line at spiders.

Uhm, role model? Never thought about that... Good point, Intrepid! I will watch both us real humans...

Wow. There sure are a lot of people who save spiders. I just smash them all!

Yep, except I get other people to smash them.

I'm actually very nice to the ones I don't see. Those are the smart ones ;-)

Spiders are from the devil. <<Shiver>>

I am petrified of them....and they know it... so they toy with me.

They sit perfectly still while I am looking at them, trying to decide the best method for killing them at a safe distance (at least 10 feet) Then as soon as I glance away, they take off and I am forced to send the room into lock-down until I feel that perhaps, it has died. I am NOT in the room of course.

The best spider story I have (all you spider lovers are gonna love me for this....) was in college. My roommate always killed them for me because I literally freeze and panic at the sight of a spider. (Then, at first safe opportunity, run) She wasn't home at this time and I saw him there, in the shower. Waiting for me. Well, I can't get close enough to one to smack it and squish it. And throwing something at it is dangerous if you miss. They come right at you then and it's a race to get out of the room the fastest, spider right at my heels. So, what could I do???? I couldn't leave it there...it would find my room and....I couldn't think about that.... I got an ingenious plan. My roommate was working on a project for a class and had bought some of that Elmers spray glue. So, I went to get it. And I opened, pointed, aimed and glued that little sucker right to the wall!

It stayed there until my roommate got home. I didn't want to touch it in case it was still alive somehow.

That, is how I feel about spiders.
