I encourage daddy long legs - the Australian ones are actually spiders - because they even eat other spiders. Beyond that, I don't mind the occasional huntsman. They love nothing more than trying to give you a heart attack, but they're also big enough to tackle ugly nasties like cockroaches, millipedes and scorpions. Occasionally even mice. Naturally, jumping spiders are totally welcome  Every other species of spider can just gently caress right off.

I let the spiders in out of the way crevices be to themselves. The ones that scurry across the floor get murdered by the cats. The best thing I ever had to fight a bug problem was a carniverous plant. Sundews work nicely if they can get enough light.

I’ll admit I more often then not just say “oh hey buddy” when I see a small spider in the house, because I hope we have an agreement that he’s going to kill centipedes or poo poo I actually don’t want to be near. But lol at anyone here soap boxing about it.

My heart rate doubled reading the last page. I do not want spiders in my house, regardless of their benefits. I suppose someone not phobic wouldn't care just as I'm not going to lose my mind if I see a mouse or a snake or a leaf or whatever. I do really like jumping spiders, though  They are like a completely different thing. Daddy Long Legs (Huntsman) also don't bother me if I'm outside and there arent 99999 of them

hail santa I have a spider in my bedroom that knows he is welcome to stay so long as he keeps to the corners while I am there. He is a good little mosquito slayer, but I need to train him to do battkle with centipedes (and possibly craft a tiny set of spider-platemail for him).

A friend of mine recently caught a jumping spider in her house and has made it her pet, to the extent of buying fruit fly cultures in order to feed it. You could do that.

You haven't seen spiders till you lived on a small sailboat.

UK spiders and sneks are mostly harmless. Our most dangerous isn't even fatal unless your heart is weak. I leave em be because flies and mice are annoying.

GotLag posted:So how come North America has the brown recluse but Australia is Spider Hell? Because brown recluse bites aren't really fatal outside of exceptional circumstances. Most spider bites aren't because spiders tiny and don't produce enough venom to take down something as large as a human. Australian funnel webs just coincidentally produce a neurotoxin in their venom that's especially dangerous for primates, and even then deaths are uncommon without extenuating factors like age and health of the victim.

I like how page 666 of the construction thread is entirely about spiders.

By "are uncommon" you mean "haven't happened since the antivenom was developed 40 years ago"

It's not surprising that alkaloids (eg caffeine) gently caress up spiders, given that their biological role in plants is as insecticide For crappy construction content, when I have my shower first thing in the morning sometimes when the water starts running I get a whiff of sewer for a few seconds. My almost entirely uninformed guess this is something to do with a trap, but is there anything cheap I can do about it?

My almost entirely uninformed guess this is something to do with a trap, but is there anything cheap I can do about it? Have you tried sticking a bunch of drain cleaner/sanitiser down the drain yet? Could just be you have some bacteria growing in the trap or something.
