” I don’t like to kill things.”
Good for you. I even let spiders live in my house because they eat the mosquitos I can’t catch. I’ve watched those funny looking jumping spiders hunt down houseflies on the window, so they earn their free rent. The spiders don’t bother me, and I don’t bother them. Sure the webs can be unsightly but when I see the carcass of a desiccated mosquito of fly I am just fine with it. If I have to catch one if it is a nuisance I always try to catch them and throw them in the garden. They are just doing spider things, they can’t help it.
That's where I am now. I have a Daddy LongLegs who has somehow lost three of his legs, but is still marching stoically around my front porch. I call him Cinco.
