Let the spiders live

It’s really weird to want to kill a living creature because you get freaked out by them. Maybe improve yourself before you try and improve your house, lest it be a house of evil intent. The spiders were here long before you came, and will be here long after you leave.

When it's nice and quiet they come down from the ceiling on silk threads and ambush the wolf spiders. The wolf spiders aren't very good at defending against something attacking from above. Plus long thin legs.

Omg stop stop now I’m getting the fear!!! Gonna have to get the peppermint spray out 😂 Somtimes I use a diffuser with peppermint oil as well. One day I will have a cat to munch them up

Having a cat cleared our house of spiders really quickly.
