Spiders serenade. Who knew?

Dude, it's *always* right before they leap on your face...

Good one, Barthheart.  ;D 



Incidentally, when I got up tonight, there was a spider running down my chest toward my nether regions, and another running over the side of the bed when (upon that initial unpleasant discovery) I flung my sheets back and sprung out of bed.  Not how I wanted to start my day.  :buck2:

Martok, I've assumed that you regularly bug-bomb your livingspace with those room foggers. Is that not so or have they proven to be of limited effectiveness?

Your best bet is to use glue traps spread along the baseboards.  Spiders are polite enough to use the straight line more than to run will he nil he around the carpet.

^Most of the spiders in my place seem to prefer to traverse the ceiling and then drop down onto their destinations like tiny eight-legged Fallschirmjägeren.

They've been of limited effectiveness.  My room's on a floor halfway below ground, so they're always invading my space.  Regular vacuuming (especially of the corners and ceiling) seems to be more effective.

Good to know MD, thanks.  Hopefully I won't need them as much at my new place (it's a ground floor unit), but I'll bear that in mind, especially when winter comes around again.

Yes, I've (re)discovered that a few times in the last week or so already.  :-\

than to run will he nil he

???

Do you mean "willy-nilly?" Or am I missing some super-subtle pun that the Hater Of PunsTM just dropped?

MetalDog

Isn't will he nil he the meaning of willy nilly.?
