As an arochnophile from <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />....Kansas...., who recently moved to ....NJ-.... I have to take issue with the vid, however.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />....

.. ..

As you know - all a species needs to survive is food, shelter and water. As all can be found in almost any house, and so here is my story.....

.. ..

We moved to NJ from KS and MO - depending on times and person. About 2 years ago.

.. ..

Since when I was a kid and caught my little brother eating a (Salticidae)- I have wanted to learn about spiders.....

.. ..

My children now read books on the arachnids with me- as well as other scientific fact books. My wife is the writer/ Language scholar of the house; I am the historian/scientist.....

.. ..

Well, recently, I discovered a brown recluse right here in my basement! A female, large and very with eggs, she was crawling on my teacup when I saw her peripherally! She was crawling all over my cup exploring. I had thought I had killed one at my in-laws house about a year before, but could not be certain as the spidey was crawling on the ceiling! After the slaughter it was not too hard to see the fiddle on her back BUT- always a skeptic, I was not sure.....

.. ..

To be honest, I use the basement as my office, it is unfinished and there are still boxes from the move, so it makes sense that there would be such creatures in my house. But the incident from above was a couple years ago- I guess they traveled with us.

.. ..

As a kid (teenager) I remember reading before bed and seeing them crawl out of air vents.

.. ..

Also, in college in the south of MO I watched the Tarantula migrate across the roads while driving- looking like mice crossing the highway.

.. ..

My point is, as an arochnophile, living in NJ, I have Brown Recluse in my house- with 3 young kids I have killed at least five in the past four years, and we have lived here only 2.

.. ..

I have many more stories if you would like to share, and pics too!

.. ..

Your friend in SPIDERS!

Eeeech.



Spiders belong outside...I remember in Ptown I would have great fun tossing grasshoppers into Garden spiderwebs...and watching them wrap their little packages of food...


but if I find a spider in my house, it's splatted immediately, (much to the annoyance of my husband, who places them outside gingerly, on envelopes of junk mail, scrap paper, etc. and sets them ever so gently on the shrubs...if I catch him doing this, I follow and smash the suckers...)

I have a spider rule...the first three spiders of spring get the warning, "you and your friends need to stay outside. The only reason I'm letting you go is so you can pass this message on to your friends. After three spiders, you will all begin to learn about the death penalty.". This way, I figure I've warned them. If they still come into my house...well, it's because they have a death wish. This is not my fault. They want to die? I will oblige them.


Nasty things.

Man you have to think about your kids safety. What if one bit one of the kids that would suck. I would try to find a humane way to rid my home of these creatures. We have one of those devices that plug into the electric outlet and chases bugs and mice away because I have spiders in my garage really bad and it seems to work pretty good.

While spiders have a purpose, and I find brown recluses and tarantula's pretty.( I got to pet one at the Lakeside Nature Center at Swope Park when I was a kid) if I find them I definatly kill them. So, I'm with ya, spiders are awesome, but poisinous(sp?) ones don't belong in my house.
