You know, they make baits and traps for ants, roaches, flies and stuff, but they don't make anything for spiders. You see a spider ambulating across the floor, you have to be fast enough or stealthy enough to swat that sucker or you're just S.O.L. They make sprays but you pretty much have to spray it directly on them so you're left with the same problem of running them down or sneaking up on them. That's no small feat with the rapid transit motherhumpers we have down here. They are some high-speed low-drag arachnids. I get an exterior treatment from the pest control people every three months, spraying under the eaves and around doors and windows and such, but I think that just runs them inside the house.
Why don't they make a Spider Motel like they do Roach Motel? I hate freaking spiders. All sizes, all types. I think it came from the time I was, like, four years old. I remember it well. I was playing outside in the yard. I raised up my arm, and on my forearm was this gigantic wolf spider. All I could do is stare at that sucker and scream. My legs finally remembered the mechanics of how to run, but unfortunately, I couldn't take my eyes off the alien life form on my arm and ran full tilt boogie into an oak tree, nearly knocking myself out. When I came to my senses, the spider was gone. Probably crawled off unfazed into a pile of leaves. I've never been able to abide them after that.
