My husband and daughter are arachnophobic. I am not usually (depends on the size, however) But in any case, I am the one to deal with them. My daughter is not as bad as my husband was. As long as she is not startled by one, she can take care of them up to the size of the tip of her baby finger. The only one that gave me the heebie jeebies was one that was the size of the palm of my hand in my sister’s basement. It moved fast!! I wound up throwing a 2×4 on it, crushing it. I was not going to check on it right away. I waited a day or two. But I did get it. I think it was a wolf spider. We have a lot of them around here. Outside – fine. Inside, nope. Small ones, I will capture and move. Ones that size, I can’t cope with.

I love spiders. They’re harmless and help with pesty flies by catching and killing them.

Maybe the spider is just looking for another spider so that they could become newlywebs.

Grab web string, walk it out the door. Let spider eat bugs outside.

Nothing like a spider to turn Jimbo into Little Jimbo!

Those of us who live in an area that has Brown Recluse spiders fully appreciate Jimbo’s phobia. You REALLY don’t want to be bitten by one.

Drinking glass, piece of paper. Glass over spider, paper on top to keep it in, take outside and shake it out on a bush or the grass. Easy Peasy.

I read somewhere a long time ago that every acre of land, whether urban, suburban, farmland or forest, contains at least 3,000 spiders…

Rose (or Vickie) if you can remain that calm in the face of a spider, you deal with it.

I love my spiders they are why I have no mosquitoes in summer and rarely a fly inside.

I’m not afraid of spiders, BUT one that size would give me pause
