    The spiders and I have an accord: They get 6 inches down from the ceiling as their territory, and any dark place where I can’t see them. If they make themselves visible outside that area, they’re deported to outside. As long as they abide by this, I will throw any other bug I find in my house except bees into a spider web.

        Bees are in danger and far more important to the ecosystem as pollinators than as spider food. Plus any bee in my house is clearly just lost and confused rather than trying to move in.

    I grew up in Jamaica and had a shower made out of concrete. I used to always have to run the (cold) water for a few minutes before i got in so all the bugs and frogs could get out.

    I haven’t seen many spiders this year. Maybe 10% of what I had last year. I’m not even sure I’ve seen any in my house this year. It’s weird. They use to be all over the outside of my house. Kept a lot of mosquitoes and insects away.

    Don’t know why the change this year. I haven’t done anything different.
