In reality we don't deal with alot of them in the house but any in the house is too many for me!! We kill spiders in the house probably 3-4 times a week and then the occasional little random bugs and i understand this is a part of life. But the pictures i am about to show you are not okay and not "a part of life" that i will just be dealing with!
Exhibit 1:
that would be a scorpion on my living room carpet. and this is the second scorpion we have found in our house in the last few weeks. UGHHHH!!! So gross and scary!Exhibit 2:
this one is what we call a banana spider. OH. MY. GOODNESS. it is big. and gross. and makes my skin crawl every single time i see it. And the boys LOVE it....the big boy (aka hubby) included. They feed it bugs. Disgusting. It resides in one of the hugest spider webs i've ever seen on the outside of Colby's bedroom window. Ugh.Exhibit 3:
i don't know what in the world this one is called but it was HUGE and FREAKED me out! The banana spider may have survived out of love for my 3 favorite men but this one was a goner! No way am i letting it live.....it was on the front porch which is wayyy to close for comfort. Any critter lovers out there know what kind of spider it is??!!Those are just 3 of the many, many odd and gross critters i have encountered so far here in the south! Yuck. Yuck. Yuck! Don't even get me started on "palmetto bugs" which is what they like to call roaches here. They are HUGE roaches....call em something different if it makes you feel better but they are roaches. When i say huge i mean i killed one on my front patio that was easily 2 1/2 - 3 inches long. SICK! Luckily i have only seen one in the house and it wasn't nearly that big and hubby was home to take care of it! AAAHHHHH.....save me from the critters of the south!!!! I'm guessing i'm not the only one with a critter aversion so what are YOUR least favorite?? Tell me all about the critters that make your skin crawl!!!

Nice bug shots!!
That banana spider is way cool. sorry no help on the other one. Get in touch with a bug sprayer guy in your area about keeping out skorpions. We pay $100.00 two times a year to get the outside house and shop sprayed for bugs. They land on the buildings and go die. It is a great value for the dollar to me - i hate bugs in the house too.
Love ya'll

We love all of our bugs (with some exception like ants, fleas,roaches). I enjoy our spiders most of all. I am one of the rare people that understands the need for all of these things. I am made fun of a lot about it but it really doesn't bother me. God made all creatures. Spiders don't get squashed in my house. They are trapped and taken outside. We don't have scorpions here.
I made the tater tot casserole tonight for dinner. I didn't put the peas in it because the husband doesn't like peas. It was really good!
a scorpion?
in the living room?
Oh.He11.No.
