I once woke up in the middle of the night in a crummy motel room with mice crawling all over me, several of them. I had to sleep the rest of the night with the light on, that was the only way to keep them from crawling back on me.

At least it wasn’t spiders, that would have totally freaked me out.

Better mice than bed bugs!

Pack a hunk of cheese in your luggage. Leave it on the motel floor at night. Or, better yet, call the desk and ask them to bring you one, and tell them why.

Had a brown grey fishing spider actually wake me up from the noise of running across a poster in my room back and forth- these spiders are like tarantulas, and they carry their egg sacks with them- and are super fast- took me awhile to liberate the room from the creature- they are so big that they actually fish for, and eat small fish- our house was plagued with them as we were close to a stream

I returned from a trip one time, got into my car with my white polo shirt on, turned it on and when the air kicked in, about a thousand baby spiders were blown out and on to my shirt

Luckily, this being Florida, the car's temp had killed them all first
