sweetheart-mine Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 ellen, where are they? how many? and you say they're caucasian?send them up here in a cab, i'll cook them what would be a normal supper for my skills, and they'll be dead by midnight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilco Worshipper Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 Bunch a jokesters you all are!!! There are so small, I doubt very much MY camera would get them. They only seem to come out at night and they appear to be dust. They seem to come right down from the ceiling. There are no lights or fixtures of ANY kind up there. It just started a week or two ago. I keep thinking they're Charlotte's babies...ho hum Quote Link to post Share on other sites

austrya Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Sounds like some type of baby house spiders. I'm sure they're harmless, but I'm not sure how to get rid of them short of spraying some sort of pesticide. Maybe suck them up in your vaccum or something? We had baby spiders hatch in our backyard last summer, but ours were black. This is what our backyard looked like: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kidsmoke Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I used to have an elderly next-door neighbor who had a positive phobia about spiders....she couldn't even stand to look at pictures of them! My son Brennan had a t-shirt with a spider picture on it, and she would get so mad at him if he wore that shirt over to her house. She'd make him go home & change if he wanted to visit her! One night I was over at Grace's, chatting with her after I'd helped her with some housework. She was lying in her bed, reading a novel before sleeping, and as I stood there beside the bed talking to her, I saw a good-sized spider begin to rappell down from the ceiling, directly over her. Knowing her phobia, I had to think fast. I reached out, pinched the spider's thread between my thumb and index finger, with the spider dangling, and said to Grace, "Hang on a second" and dashed out her back door with it. When I came back, she was understandably mystified, having never seen the spider. "What was that all about?" she asked, and I lied & said I thought I'd left the water running in the kitchen sink. Lucky for us both, she bought it. kidsmoke, rescuer of spiders and sweet little old ladies. Christy, that backyard photo looks like you guys decorated for Halloween!

Edie Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I love to watch films about them, but in person, not as much. WW, you may have "little white spiders" that can kill your houseplants. Get a natural pesticide stat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sweetheart-mine Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 my know-it-all friend finally got back to me, ellen. i'd forgotten that she has about the worst case of arachnophobia i've ever seen. in her reply, she didn't even want to type the word "spiders." she typed "ahems" instead. she is tough in regular life, though. anyway, she takes no chances, throws chemical caution to the winds, and uses a special spider-blaster version of Raid. you probably figured this out by now, but i promised i'd pass along her reply, so here you are.
