Lis,
Do i have to send you the “Be nice to spider’s” book? You didn’t think I read your blog apparently…well I sometimes do! Another thing I can suggest is to locate some Harvest spiders. They are the king of all spiders and they will eat all other spiders that enter your house. They look alot like the daddy long legs (a spider everyone likes) but are thinner. If you get some of those (I’m not sure if they can be mailed there but if they can I have some to spare) and put several in closets and the bathroom, etc. they will take over and cure your problem. I’ve done this in 3 places I’ve lived now and it works! Good luck and quit murdering the poor creatures….Lis, you know better! Auntie Brenda

Elisabeth Charlotte- remember Charlotte as in Charlotte’s web. Put a sign, or signs, around your room/house that say, “No Spiders Allowed”. Spiders can read.

Hey you two! I think the solution I learned from Darrell was to use a vacuum cleaner to suck them up. Dunno if they can crawl back out or not! =)

dude, lis, i’m feeling them crawling on me as i type. i soooort of know what you mean–we have the little buggers every-freakin-where. but we’re only talking raisin up to half-dollar size. nothing like what you apparently are dealing with. eeeeeeeewww. with the weather getting cooler they are coming in for warmth and shelter. nasty give-me-the-shivers. i pretend to like them so Abby won’t be scared of them. but its hard to not panic.

p.s. nice website!!! great to see all the adventure pics. i miss you.

Lizzy -
Send me your address. I’ll send you a non-poison solution for catching spiders. It’s a little rectangular “house” with some kind of attractant w/sticky paper on the floor. The creatures climb in and stay there. I found it at Hardware Sales. I’m not as “pure” as Evie, but I also don’t poison the little (big!!!) buggers.
Sorry to here your dealing with them. You can take heart that once you get freezing weather, you won’t get any new ones – but the heat in the walls, foundation, etc. will keep the existing ones alive and well.
How many traps do you want?
;~)

By the way, my grandma is a saint. She catches and releases spiders. Even the big ones. ESPECIALLY the big ones. She says the big ones have little personalities. Nothing like grandma having the guts to carefully capture her spiders and return them to nature to make you feel guilty about your killing spree…
