LOL

Like I said, SHE killed it with an Edgar Allan Poe book. I had nothing to do with it.

okay, you know some spiders commonly mistaken for wolf spiders cant survive outdoors?

only ones i throw out are "daddy long legs" as thier spider eaters, so out they go

other than the oil i know that a non killing method that works pretty decent with all insect type things (and small rodents if you put enough out) is to put cinnamon around doors or under cabinets, whereever they hang out. they eat it and it messes up their insides and makes them confused so they leave. and on the plus side you can put it anywhere and its safe for pets and kids! not to mention itll make your house smell yuuuuumy

Here is an interesting page I found on Wolf Spiders and house spiders in general.

Jeez, I thought I was an insufferable pedant! Oh well, K.I.P. & all that... but that "giant house spider" looks nothing like the ones I see around here... I have at least 5 spider species around my little spread & none of them really looks like that pic.

Thanx for the cinnamon tip, Gauge! I'll have to add that one to my arsenal this summer.

I usually allow a few to keep the other bugs at bay....but no more than 4 a floor. I kill them in the fall. Weird huh.

[Gauge]
