blog 68

One thing that I am scared of is spiders. If I see a spider I don’t freak out or anything, I'm just not a big fan of them. I definably won’t be going to try and pick it up and move it outside. I will be stomping it with my shoe. I don’t know what it is about them that I hate so much. The thought of them crawling all over me gives me chills. Usually in the spring through fall, at my house we have one of the bug services come and spray in the inside and outside of our house to keep the bugs and spiders out. We live right in front of a few acres of woods so when we don’t do that, they become a big problem. Well one time, my parents weren’t home yet and I had to let the guy in walk him around the house as he was spraying. We got to the basement and there was one of the biggest spiders I have ever seen on the floor. The funny thing is, the bug guy actually yelled a little and asked if I wanted to go kill it. Of course I refused and upon talking to him I found out he doesn’t like spiders either. Kind of ironic since he works for a bug and spider service. Luckily though, after some convincing he went and killed it. Hopefully I won’t ever have to see another one of those really big spiders in my house again.

  1. Some insects just make people feel uncomfortable, maybe because of thier appearance.

  2. you would think having woods would cause more spiders to invade your house, but in california, i once killed 15 black widows on a wall by my driveway in one night and we had very few woods anywhere

  3. It disturbing our first instinct is to kill bugs, luckily we don't have predators like that.
