Thus why purification by flame is the preferred method

If I didn't have a kid and pets, I'd just let them be. They keep the crickets dead. For the most part, if you approach them, they just run away.

The panic sets in when you walk into a spider web and it doesn't break.

F this !!

I don't mind spiders outside...saw a big Garden Spider Saturday when cutting the grass like in the pic below and just let him be BUT he better stay outside...that is all.

Wolf spiders don't build webs. Those are the only spiders I get in the house.

The cool thing about them is that they don't build webs. They overpower their kills. They're tough, and faster then hell.

Yeah AND they can walk on water... My dad lost a chainsaw in the Ohio River when the dock he was tearing out released a Wolf Spider that proceeded to run across the water in his direction... 300lb dad in one direction, running chainsaw in the other... literally over his head. lol

I had one run up my arm when we were relocating a wood pile one time... that SUCKED. I also woke up with one in my tent about 6 inches away from my head when Drewpy and I were at the Gap. That would have sucked if I would have woken up facing it... luckily, I didn't see it until after I sat up and turned around.

Flame Thrower.

Ugh. I dont mind them usually, and I hate killing anything, but bets are off if a friggin huge spider surprises me. Smack first, regret later.

I've gotten the one's with babies too...made my skin crawl for days...

Only time I've ever blacked out was when one of those huge m'fing wolf spiders tried to jump on me during a canoe trip. Witnesses report I stood up and walked on water till I hit the shore. I dont remember anything other than it coming at me. My sister remembers half drowning when I dumped her, the canoe and everything in it into the river.
