If you read my blogs then you know I am deathly afraid of spiders.  I appreciative that spiders have a purpose in nature.  I do not want them close to the house.  I especially do not want them inside the house.  If they get inside then I kill them and I don’t feel guilty about it at all.  When they build their webs around the house then I try to move them closer to the woods.  This is not an easy task because spiders tend to crawl and the only highway they see is my arm.

In one day alone I moved nine spiders from around the outside of the house.  Four of them were what we call writing spiders.  They are huge black and yellow spiders who build very large webs.  I could not even go out the back door because one of them had built her web completely across the back storm door.  I did not see one of the others until I had leaned over to turn on the hose and put my face into the web. The other five were wood spiders.  They are big, hairy and very sneaky.  They hide in cracks, or under the roof edges.  On the outside of our bathroom window was an egg sack the size of a quarter. I destroyed the egg sack and took down the webs with the broom. 

Now we have a problem with scorpions getting inside the house.  One day last week my son and his wife woke to find a live scorpion in their bed.  Fortunately they were not stung.  I killed two yesterday and the dogs killed one today.

We also have centipedes inside the house and we even had a lizard get in somehow.

We spray poison outside and Defender inside but it does not help.  We are still being over whelmed with insects.
