Mr. Spidey.

I don't like spiders. They give me the shivers and a stomach ache. I try to act brave in front of the kids, but inside I am screaming. I looked out the window tonight and this is what I saw......
(Only one spider and a few reflections due to the beveled glass in the window)

I checked Mr. Spidey one more time before bed and this is what I saw.............
(That is a big moth.....Stomach begins to churn)
I am thinking of framing this last picture to add to my halloween decorations. Kinda creepy.

So here is the question: I bought some spider spray which is supposed to keep spiders at bay for over a year. We live in the woods and therefore have a lot of spiders. A lot of spiders= a lot of webs which we are constantly walking through or putting our hands on as we reach for the outside railing. Do I use the spray and kill spiders or do I come to a mutual understanding with them that if they don't hurt me, I won't hurt them? What should I do? Part of me says "die spidey die" the other part says "do they really need to DIE??".

Kill them. What are you thinking even wondering about what you should do????

I'm ill just thinking of it. Here's my philosophy: every spider has filled the measure of its creation at the moment of its birth.

My rule is, if they're in my house they die. If I'm in their house (aka, outside) then I let them live. But once they cross over THAT'S IT! Same goes for cockroaches. Oh the joys of Houston. :)
As for now you can consider them Halloween Decorations! haha

we have tons of spiders/webs too. I'm torn with this decision as well. Good luck. :) I guess I was late knowing, but Happy Birthday!! Hope you have a nice day. :)

I don't know....I am with you about the spider fear and I can only act SO brave in front of the kids....use the spray!
