I HATE spiders...but I actually caught it in a plastic cup, and tossed it outside. Any time I walk past the thermostat in the dark, I am POSITIVE that it is there again! The BEST part? It was less than 10 feet from my pillow!
In one instance I was simply standing in my shed, looking uo at a top shelf trying to figure out how to get something, and I felt a burning feeling on my shoulder. I slapped it, and squished a spider.
