(6,011 posts)I'm of two minds (or a hypocrite?) about spiders. I have a pet spider on my kitchen window sill. It made a silk funnel and stays in the tunnel part, waiting for a fly to come in the back door and fly toward the light coming in the window. I gave it a fat aphid from our rose bush, and a fat sow bug from the compost pile.
The other night I dropped a brick on a black widow who came out every night on her web at the bottom of the steps to the back yard. I was afraid she would have babies that would grow up to hang out near the back door.
The black widows come out at night. I always seem to find them on their sticky, sketchy webs at around my knee, or my dog's head, height. One July I dropped a brick on 13 of them, going out each night with a flashlight to find them.

(34,136 posts)I leave them alone everywhere except in the bathroom. I refuse to allow them to be where I am naked and vulnerable!
I am with you on black widows - they are too nasty to let live around people and pets. The other ones I watch out for are recluse spiders. My MIL has a scar the size of a fifty cent piece on her arm from a recluse bite she never noticed until it festered.
