My wife can handle anything with legs. Snakes are evil incarnate. When I point out that snakes eat rats and mice, her response id “doesn’t matter. They don’t have legs.”

Well ... God love her, she's kinda like my husband. He hates anything with eight legs. Spiders just freak him out. I tell him, "Hey, spiders eat bugs that might otherwise be eating you," but he just doesn't care. At least he leaves the ones in the yard alone, but heaven help the poor hapless wolf spider who happens to be standing post somewhere in the house and my husband sees him before I do!

In all fairness, my mom is as ruthless with spiders as my husband, so ... !!
