Spiders

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

Spiders

Post by Moontide »

What is your opinion of spiders? I personally like spiders because they eat houseflies and other bugs. Both spiders and me agree that houseflies should not be inside the house. Also, no spiders are poisonous were I live so there is no risk of sudden death or injury from the spiders. However, it would be nice if spiders would clean up there webs when they were done with them; then, I wouldn't have to.

Spiders are fine as long as they keep their distance from me, I'm not afraid of them I just don't want to see them. I absolutely agree that houseflies should not be inside the house, I absolutely hate flies.

I generally have the problem that there are spiders and other bugs, and my personal policy is to kill all of them whenever I can. Icky! I'm not afraid, but I do not like them one bit! I especially hate it when I turn around and all of a sudden there's a spider in the middle of the room. How did he get there so fast, and where has he been until now, and how many family members does he have just waiting to crawl on my bed? These are the questions that I ponder in an unhappy kind of way when I see a spider. ;)

I echo Catspaw.

Spiders are basically evil and deserve to be smashed while yelling "Die, spider, DIE!" :yes:
The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance.

I killed another one after my earlier post today, and I didn't do the yelling that Laura is referring to, but I sensed that something was missing. I will use that next time for more spider-killing power! \:D/

I am in the camp that believes all spiders are possessed by the devil and deserve to rot in the underworld for all of time. I literally jump if I see a spider come out of no where and will jump if someone says there are spiders on me. Seriously don't do that, that is cruel and unusual punishment, if you lie about spiders being on me there is a good chance that I will have a heart attack and then my ghost will haunt you for the rest of your life.

I realize they are harmless and worst and even useful at getting rid of other pests at best... but I hate them and they must die.

Also, centipedes/millipedes.

Like the typical insect I obviously don't want in my home but for whatever reason an ant or ladybug or something doesn't really bother me. I don't like things with more than six legs. >_>

I don't like spiders, especially when they are crawling on me, but they eat little bugs, so I guess they're OK so long as they aren't in my house.

If they are in your house, then they will eat the bugs that are in your house. In other words, an enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Huh. I'm with Moontide... Sorta.
I don't mind them. Just as long as they're not poisonous or on me if they are bigger than a nickel...

I saw a spider on the wall a couple days ago in my parents room. I just walked by. I didn't think it was big enough to bug anyone.. But then my dad killed it. :( so I guess it was.
