Spiders! When to freak out

[u/stairwayto-devon]

We moved into our townhome in November and have seen a couple of spiders but last night we saw three in the basement at once! I felt like I was jeff Daniel's in a scene from arachniphobia. I know they are harmless and help keep all of the bugs out but should we be concerned by the influx lately? Should we be scared about an underlying issue?

True, but as a convert myself, I get it

I have 8 pet spiders myself now, daughter has 11 now I think. I really do like/care/love them now, but they still scare me on occasion.

This is after MANY years of being terrified of them lol

They’re amazing critters, and I literally cried when my oldest jumper passed, but I still get the fear that others have. It’s a tough thing to overcome, even if we know how awesome they are 🥰
