“I hate Spiders”

They eat vermin. I never kill them.

>>I never kill them.

I my past line of work, I found that House Spiders liked to eat bedbugs and I would take advantage of this for evidence (monitoring) of slight infestations on furniture. The spiders would drop their finished meals on the floor below where they nested.

One house, never found a live bedbug on a sofa, but evidence pointed to a House Spider picking off bedbugs on the guy as he napped on the sofa.

More interesting, that some bedbugs could survive a spider bite and crawl away from the spider web it was stored on.
