I have like 4 or 5 of these little bros in mine. They always pay rent via pest control

I have a mild case of arachnophobia and I just let them chill. I have a friend that has them as pets.

Have recently had a couple of wolf spiders enter my house but still not at the acceptance phase of my life so they got flushed.

Yes, but they prefer the abundance of yummy treats in the garden. Lots of them chill there.

Let one species live in your house invites more of others. Brown recluse especially. Thats a no for me dog. I spray inside every 3 months with bifenthrin and outdoors every couple months as a perimeter barrier.

The average American home has around 93 different species of insects/bugs/spiders/arthropods within it at any given time. That number is likely on the low side for where most of this board lives.

A few from around the yard the past couple of years.










Probably the coolest, the Magnolia Green Jumping Spider:

Google Australian Huntsmen Spiders and read up on specifically where they like to hide in your car

I had one bite be in between the toes. My foot was swollen enough I had to wear sneakers to work for a week. But, the jumping spiders and daddy long legs I just leave alone to catch gnats and whatnot.

We have wolf spiders and I was able to convince the wife to leave them be. Until she found a female carrying about 100 babies on her back once and freaked out. I successfully transported all of them outside unharmed.
