Shiver ME Timbers!!

This email is rated PG13 for strong language SO BEWARE!

If there is one thing I HATE in this world these nasty creatures are IT! I know hate is a strong word but I can definitely apply it to all spiders...THEY ARE NASTY!

This guy has made a BIG web outside one of our windows and we get to watch it. I first saw it when I climbed the ladder to replace a bulb, and just about died. My boys think it is great and love to check on it. They climb onto the bathroom counter and look out the window to see if it is still there. So now it has become like Charlotte's web.

I looked it up on the Internet and found out that it is a garden spider. They carry all there babies in the big shield on there rear ends. They die in late autumn and the babies live on. So I need it GONE soon. I definitely do not want a breed of those nasty critters around.

Also we have been dealing with a few funnel grass spiders and I am positive I have identified some hobos around too. I have only had like 5-6 in my house but that is WAY too many for me. The hobos and Grass are aggressive too. They seriously charge right into you when you try to kill them. It is very SCARY! My skin is crawling as I write. I am trying to be brave and not scream and freak out when they are around, I just squeal and wince. I don't want to pass my fear on to my boys. Easton tells me they are nice and good. He says we should just pick the up and put them outside. I say if they come into my house they will be sprayed or smashed, as long as they are outside they are fine, but they are not welcome inside. HMMMMMMM YUCK.
HOBO (the grass looks very similar)
BOTTOM LINE... I HATE, HATE, HATE them with a passion.
