I know *technically* the reason you don’t want pests in your home is because they carry disease and whatnot, but honestly, my main reason for not wanting them around is because they’re *fucking gross* and I don’t like looking at them. I don’t care if spiders or *fucking centipedes*(!) eat the other bugs, I don’t like looking at them either. I have the same philosophy towards these horrible creatures as a 50s housewife has towards her husband’s philandering: I don’t care what they’re doing on their own time, but I should never see it right in front of me.
Yesterday evening we’ve been relaxing on the sofa when all of a sudden the dog started staring at something on the floor. Intrigued, I got up an looked and there was this giant hairy eight legged mf sprinting for the sofa.
He didn’t make it. Rest in peace, bud. My flip-flops were faster than you.
I wish I could speak with them and say, “Bro, as long as I don’t see you and you continue to eat insects I’m fine with it.” At the same time I wouldn’t want to know what they’re thinking.
We have wolf spiders in our basement. Usually only the really big ones are brave enough to just strut into the middle of the room – actually it’s probably because they need to shed their skin and can’t see us well. The only reason they don’t get crunched is because they would cause a huge mess. So, I carefully catch and release to a wooded area, but they sure as heck don’t get to stay!
Left a few daddy long legs in the bedroom. They do a great job of catching mosquitos, cleaning up a few ants, catching other spiders. But after having babies, that’s a LOT of daddy long legs. Still not a problem since they stay off the bed.
The problem isn’t even the webs in the corners and walls.
The problem is the dust that catches in the webs! Walls are already something people ignore when it comes to dusting, add in webs and that’s a LOT of dust.
I figure four or five spiders I can see in the corner is the maximum that need to be in there for their success. Twenty is too many. Too many babies who won’t get to be as successful because of the gradual elimination of the middle class and the opportunities their parents had, and all that.
Growing up in South Africa we had these large brown hand size spiders in the house. My aunt woke up one night and couldn’t see so she wiped her face only to wipe a rather large hairy spider off! Creepy things, fairly sure they were rain spiders

Anyway, if you like my comics, I’ve got more on [my website](https://www.butajape.com/comic/spider/).
Man, the spider caressing his head was just so uncomfortable to see
I have a policy of spider non-interference unless they trespass on the sacred lands of my bed or my bath.
As long as its small, not venomous, and/or not radioactive, i’m ok..

If the spider’s that big I’d hate to see the roaches

The language needs to be more Australian

Why do I want a whole mini series on this??
Don’t know if the spider should be catagorised like a deep voiced cell from T4S DBZ abridged or Ban from 7-deadly schmucks.

We are in constant peace as long as he/she eats the damn flies
Thanks for the new warlock patron idea.
I have a spider in the corner above my bed. His name is Steve and he’s been there for a while. We have an agreement and it works out well.
That’s why I have a cat.
Spiders keep the pests in check

Never forget the [spider bro](https://i.imgur.com/PfRYNGi.jpg)
If bugs could get that big, maybe having a big spider that has a symbiotic relationship with you might not be the worst idea..
Oh hi, Jeff.
