What is your spider infiltration rate?

Or, more accurately, how often do you see spiders in your house, of an offensive size and manner?

Because I have seen four in the past week, three skulking about the upper corners of my habitation box, one in a chair that dodged my attempts to kill it, and it pleases me not at all. <_<

FIVE, one evidently with a great sense of timing.  What is this, a thrillomedy starring Jeff Daniels?

To what do you attribute your good fortune?  Lack of vigilance or your inhospitable Iowan clime?

Seriously, this is fucked up. :(

None, ever.  Altitude and cold have defeated the arachnid menace.

I've seen a distinct lack of daddy long legs this year and an increase in the beefy bite the fuck out of you spiders.

Yeah Ide, the fact that you live in the tropics probably has a lot to do with it.

None.  I almost never see spiders in my home in HK.  I know what you are talking about though, because we saw tons of spiders when we lived in Vancouver. 

I see lots of cockroaches though.  By contrast, we never had any cockroaches in Vancouver.  Somehow cockroaches and spiders seem incompatible.

Fairly often.  Maybe...once or twice a month.  I smash them all forthwith.  But I live in a warm place with my backyard to a greenbelt.  We have bugs and animals and shit in our house all the time.  Nothing to do but rack up giant body counts.

They both get along great in my house.

I don't remember the last time I saw a spider. I do get flying insects from time to time.

In Manhattan? Almost never. Quite freaky.

Never seen one in the 6 years I've lived here.

It is pretty warm.  Over 100 the past couple days I think; definitely was yesterday.  Absolutely miserable and gonna get worse.

Never. That is one of the great things about living in scandinavia. No large exoctic insects.
