    Relax kiddos. They’re looking for bugs, not your bloated ass. Leave em alone for christ sakes…

    Unless you live in Australia then I’m pretty sure they’re hunting you.

    The Australian ones (whitetails) are more populous, venemous, and aggressive than you could imagine in summer. I’d have a kill one inside my house almost every day.

    It probably doesn’t help that our houses seal worse than an average tent.

      Now I have to lookup statistics on how many people die in Oz land due to these demon spawns. Mercy on your soul.

    Spiders don’t go where there’s no food for them. You don’t have a spider problem, they’re trying to fix your insect problem.

      I have macro shots of a tiny jumping spider hauling a fly behind a bathroom pic. She is most welcome to stay.

      Seriously. I have zero problem when I see spiders in my house. I’m like, “Oh, good. Keep it up, bro.” Totally happy to have arachnids around.

      Yeah, I think of them as independent contractor pest control, they come and go as they please and as long as they don’t interfere with my day to day, we’re all good.

      They do good work and don’t complain.

    I’ve seen many of you just chilling in your respective corners, not wanting fuckall to do with us gigantic bastards. With you, there were no mosquitoes.

    You homies were chill af, and though it took great effort to overcome the fear, you and yours did not disappoint. Yours have quietly and peacefully traveled my home, often very close to me, and I watched you watching me.

    Respect, spiderhomies. Mad respect, and may I continue to remember that you really just want to live, just as we do.

    your spiderbabies are terrifying af and could you guys pls make bedbugs your mortal enemy pls bc fuck those assholes thank you for your fantastic work kbye 🤘 rock on spiderhomies

    Well just regularly clean your house properly and then there will be no food for insects and thus no prey for them to eat and thus they will not be in your house.
