The only spiders I want gone are the ones that can kill me, and the ones that get too close to me.

If I see one setting up a web in the distant corner? Hell yeah Bro catch all the pests you can.

Crawl toward me less than a foot away? Sorry smash but you sealed your own fate.

Yah I have a loose treaty in my home too. If I see you and you’re not racing towards my face (or dropping on my head)…no one has to get hurt. If you’re super active and potentially in my way…I have a little bug scoop and off you go back into nature. Also…please don’t make your homes in my bedroom…any other room is fine, basement is preferred.

However if you are hell bent on scaring the crap outta me, or crawling up on me…I cannot guarantee my fear reflexes won’t smash you. I will feel badly though.

This holds for all insects in my home except earwigs, mosquitos and super fast centipedes (I catch and release the dopey ones tho)
