From now on, I'm "GrannySpider" as this is what my one grandson, Deaclan, calls me.
I love gadgets, but I love buying him toy spiders - and watching his delight when playing with them - even more. Through him, or rather because of him, I've lost my fear of these 8-legged "monsters".
He has obsessed over spiders for about 3 out of his 4 years now, and I sometimes wonder whether he's going to be an arachnologist one day?
Please, rather relocate spiders when you find them in your home. Kill only if you don't have any other option.
Take care.
Ps: I was able to relocate this gorgeous rain spider (she was about the size of my hand) the other night. Wish I had my camera with me, but was able to snap her with my cell phone:
