So true!  I was talking to somebody and they mentioned that not only do they use the vacuum cleaner method, but they also then put a sock or something over the nozzle so that the spider can't crawl out.  I'm not quite that bad.  I still manage to squish them, and have not had to resort to using the vacuum.

If you use a cyclonic vacuum cleaner you can see them spinning round and round just as if they were in a tornado...
very funny... :laugh:

Yes and that's all fine.  Now if only they would stay out of my house.  And why do some of them have to be poisonous to me?!  That seems pretty unnecessary.
