My husband says we have "dust spiders" -- he says they eat dust (???). I wonder if he says that just to make me relax when I see them. Because I'll make him come running to kill them. He hates to kill bugs. He'll take them outside. :)
I love to kill spiders. We had a problem all summer with bees and I was the one who had to deal with them because my husband is so terrified of them. Me, I hate, hate, hate spiders. I hate any bug even though I know that they have their place. We have bugs, racoons, lizards, coyotes, snakes, deer but I cannot handle spiders. ICK! ICK! ICK!

i dont like them either, the way they move the way they drop to the floor when under threat so you cant get them as they hide behind furniture, crawl along the ceiling until theyre big and brave enough to come down, jumping spiders are the worst theyre just evil YUCKYUCK YUCK !

but as others have said in this thread they do eat other insects which i cant stand either and my father once showed me a very old spider dying :cry: which kind of gave me some humanity towards them for about five minutes

Guys, guys. Spiders are so cool! They pretty much mind their own business, unlike those pesky insects that hunt you down and suck your blood or sting you or sit on your food. And they eat those pesky bugs!

I used to let a large brown spider live in my window between the panes of glass and believe me, she kept the mosquitoes out of my apartment just fine! It was neat to watch her work her stuff over those bugs.

I think they're pretty amazing. Especially the cute little fuzzy jumping ones with the eight eyes. Very cool.

I have a phobia about them, if I see one in my room, I won't sleep in my room that night. I prefer the ones that build webs and stay away from people, but the ones that wander, they scare me, especially the small ones, because they could be on you right now. >.< *checks his shirt as he twitches* I can handle any bug, but I can't handle a spider! *continues to eat ice cream and stay depressed*

i love spiders. come to manitoba you'll find why...
Okay, why do you love spiders in Manitoba anyway??

There's a huge spider web on my front porch right now. I figure it's a good Halloween decoration. :) There's like a hundred dead bugs in it. It's like a whole family of spiders sharing the same web. I thought they were kind of solitary creatures?

What is the purpose of a spider? I hate them. Disgusting things. They are really bad this time of year. ICK!!!! We spray and they still get in.
:doh: What is the purpose of Homo sapiens?

Sometimes I wonder where respect for life went? I mean......isn't a clean environment important? Spraying....YIKES.......

I respect all life, I catch spiders and place them outside. and whether you believe in evolution or creation...all living beings are unique and God's cretaures :)

Ever realized that if there were no spiders, you would have too many other bugs?:D

I understand what you're saying. My husband always takes bugs outside. Not roaches though. But when I have 50 ants in my kitchen I can't carry them all outside...:)
