Big game hunt

Tweet

I thought there was only one, keeping me from my shower. I managed to get the first one out, but then I moved the shower curtain, and there was another one. Another what? you might ask. Wolf spiders. Big ones. No idea how they got in. Either one of them was big enough with legs extended to cover the top of a half dollar. Maybe even a silver dollar. I do not like to squish bugs. (Except mosquitoes, I squish them). I figure if they stay away from me, I can stay away from them. Besides, squishing a big bug leaves a big splot of a mess. Remember this method if you ever need to trap something like this. I turned a clear plastic container over the top of the spider. Important because I could see what it was doing. It was likely a "she". I then slid a sturdy piece of card stock (junk mail) underneath and across the opening. I went to the front door and flung the beastie out of the container into the mint plants. I could see each one scuttle away. I think however they got in, they could not get traction to get out. I put salt in my drains, and they are not water bugs. I wonder if they got in around the window frame. I will spray some perimeter spray around those windows. That was my exciting day. It is fall and the critters want to come in before it gets cold.
