Bugs can be a beach.
That’s why if I see spiders somewhere stashed away in my house, I leave them be.
Except for the Hobo spiders, which can hurt you in a big way.
I figure if a spider eats one bug a week, well, he paid his rent!!
A free pad to crash in, free grub... whatta deal!
In Tennessee and Alabama, there is an old folk tale that where there are brown house tarantulas (the big brown fuzzy spiders) there are no roaches scurrying about. I tend to believe this one since inlaws used these spiders in their homes for pest control.

I hadn’t heard of Hobo spiders until a few months ago. Then someone I know was bitten by a Hobo spider and he has had three operations for the nerve damage he got from the bite, and he won’t know for a few months whether or not he will regain use of his left hand.
