Are there spiders in your home?

IronKnuckle's Ghost

The answer may surprise you!

TheStig

Yeah they're just doing their thing, eatin bugs.

Me and the spiders have an agreement. They're safe as long as the wife doesn't see them. Cellar spiders get a little more leeway because they stay up and away.

Black Widows are the exception though. I will seek out any destroy any I can.

Spiders can chill unless I find them in my bedroom or the shower.

I am very modest, you see, and I do not want a spider to peep me naked.

I, on the other hand, am a spider exhibitionist.

Is that a dabbing astronaut?

A dabstronaut, if you will.

Brovid Hasselsmof

Do you mean apart from the 15 tarantulas on my shelf?

Listen I got eleven foot ceilings, they have the high ground here

This home is more accurately categorized as a web.

I actively encourage spiders to come here and eat all the bugs that get into my old ass house.

Pinfeldorf

No this is a spider-free zone. Right? Wait, do you know something I don't?

I have not seen a spider in the house ever, and I've lived here since January of last year.

Honestly, it's kind of weird.

You’ll see them when they WANT you to see them.

Spiders are my friends.

When you look around and don't see any spiders, I think that means you are the spiders

i have spiders outside but definitely not inside

If you’re at a party and can’t find the person who is a spider, it’s you

I’m the guy sitting on the couch alone petting the house spider instead of talking to people

Literally about ten minutes ago I was surprised by a spider crawling on my arm. Sneaky little bugger.

sometimes I wake up to see one descending on a string from the ceiling

But where there were only eight sets of footprints, that's when eight spiders carried you.

I thought I had spiders, but ever since my new roommate Georg moved in I haven't seen any

MechMantis

Something something larlar.

My house has been infected with ambulatory cactuses.

I am concerned.

Is Georg a frog?

DemonStacey

I'm a spider catch and releaser.

Sometimes we get a few more of these gnarly looking brown spiders though. I appreciate what they do and thus do not kill them. But I also would rather they stay more out of sight.

The SO is terrified of them though so that means I get called on for lots of catching.

no, he's an outlier

BahamutZERO

Georg:

"average person eats 3 spiders a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

Around the end of summer the orb weavers were out in droves, webbing up the outside of my house and in the basement. They've taken to less visible spots recently though.

Odin

Yesterday as I came home from work, a spider dropped in front of my face as I was coming through the door, like it wanted to say hello

Cello

Yeah they're just doing their thing, eatin bugs.

Charlotte lives on the wall of my bathroom near a nightlight and sometimes makes me wonder if she's dead because she mostly just freezes up when I go in there for a few days before suddenly scrambling up and down the wall

She appeared about two weeks back and is always in that small zone on my wall; I'd resolved to move her back outside if she really got in my way but has been quite polite about it all

I assume she's paying the rent as I never see any other bugs and yet she doesn't really put up webs in my view, so, dunno how she's still alive really but she must be eating something

Rhesus Positive

No this is a spider-free zone. Right? Wait, do you know something I don't?

I haven't seen a significant spider in this house since I moved in

I imagine Taliskitty eats them

MulysaSempronius

Yeah they're just doing their thing, eatin bugs.

There was a small spider hiding behind a paper decoration we put up by the bathroom mirror. My daughter made sure that we never hurt the spider, and that we let it be. She loves spiders.
All spiders get to stay put, as long as they aren't in the way.

Darmak

Yeah they're just doing their thing, eatin bugs.

I don't see a lot inside the house, but it's a big house so they're probably there. Especially in the attic, I've never been in there. I did follow a cute lil jumping spooder around the living room and kitchen a few months ago. She was trying to catch some flies for a nice snack.

Outside though there's a ton of orbweavers and yellow garden spiders around. Some black widows and brown recluse too, but they're a bit more rare.

My 2 year old nephew also loves spiders. I have a big wooden spider ornament on my bedroom wall and whenever he comes into my room he runs up to it and says "Pider!"

He also refers to all insects as "piders", because he's an idiot.

MegaMan001

Yeah they're just doing their thing, eatin bugs.

We live kind of out in the country and welcome all spiders in a live and let live situation.

I keep telling my daughter spiders are okay and our friends but she still freaks out.

Peen

Yeah they're just doing their thing, eatin bugs.

We have too many spiders because we got two new cats and I think they're eating more of the centipedes that used to eat the spiders and keep them in check so the basement is just a warzone for us, the spiders think they own the whole thing!

Xaquin

spider, I hardly know her

I dunno

Jedoc

Yeah they're just doing their thing, eatin bugs.

I've got some tiny little microspiders that spin webs in the corners of my windows and eat the gnats that hang around my houseplants.

Once my bathroom sink got this really annoying infestation of drainflies, so I started using the other sink until a spider set up shop and cleaned up the neighborhood.

I also get these neat red fellas who come in after the sowbugs that are the only bugs I regularly see in my house. And, of course, the occasional wandering wolf or grass spider.

I don't have the jumping spider population I had in most of my previous dwellings, which is a bit disappointing. I always like to look up and see them on the ceiling just going about their business.

Calica

Yeah they're just doing their thing, eatin bugs.

I figure if there are spiders in my apartment, it's because they're finding food; and if they're finding food, they can stay.

Juggernut

Yeah they're just doing their thing, eatin bugs.

I haven't actually seen any spiders in here but if there are they are welcome in my space so long as they stay under the size of a nickel. Any bigger than that they gotta stay in the hot water heater closet or they get cupped and taken outside.

This is a small apartment.

Raijin Quickfoot

Yeah they're just doing their thing, eatin bugs.

When you cup a spider and put it outside it comes back with at least 3 of its friends.
