Okay, I know this seems to be a topic of a lot of discussion around here... but there's a LOT of them around here!! Since we came home last thursday, I have seen no less than TWO black widows (sorry, Terri, but I hates dem! If they can hurt my kids, there's trouble...) and today I nearly DIED. I was cleaning the kitchen floor, and I saw a piece of candy stuck in the corner of my kitchen floor (you know how those darn corners collect ick) anyways, I reached out to get the candy, and somehow my body caught up before my brain did, because my hand snapped back before I even realized what it was... guess it's a good thing I err on the side of caution when grabbing in dark corners. There was a brown recluse there, hiding right behind the candy, probably enjoying an afternoon snack. He was a big sucker too. He didn't live to see the end of that jelly bean. Okay, so I wouldn't have died, but I googled the spider to make sure that's what it was and you should see the images of some of their bites!!! YICK!
And today, I was cleaning/rearranging furniture in the living room, and there was a big cucaracha under our table rug. It was smushed but still gross. They sprayed for bugs on friday, it might take a few day to wear in. And I clean religiously... There may be no hope left for me... so long as I stay in Alabama.
So, anyways... I hate bugs. I HATES 'DEMMMMMM ::pumps fist in air::
Oh, and Fay is still hanging around. Rain, rain, go away... I will post pics of the "destruction" later...

Glad you survived.
Oh ick! We have black widows, and I'm sure we have brown recluses, but fortunately I haven't seen either one in my house. Maybe I need to be really glad I have cats and that they hunt and kill anything that moves.
Okay an ounce of sanity here...
You have so many bugs because of Fay!!! They'll clear out when she does too. And the Brown Recluce didn't want your jelly bean, it wanted the bugs that were attracted to the sugar. All that aside, I do have a healthy dose of fear for posionious spiders, did you know what when I was younger and living in Oklahoma my mom was bit by a Brown Recluce, it was awful, she was so sick (she did live and suffered no permanent damage) Anyway that may have started my weird obsession. So feel free to kill the 'fiddle backs' for me!
