Two times in the past week I awoke to find a tarantella in my house. They were different spiders. The first was huge, more than six inches across. She was cruising about my entryway. The second, more medium size. This troublesome girl was in my bedroom.
How can I sleep at night, thinking that these big girls have taken up residence in my house and might be dancing over me in the dark? How many other friends in hiding do they have?
And why are they in my house, anyway? I close my doors and windows before dusk and spray my house regularly.
Any suggestions why this is happening and what I can do? I know tarantellas are our friends and eat other unwanted critters. I know the girls probably won't bite me. I have tried to be a kindly sole and evict them from the premises, rather than kill them.
But, please. Do they have to live in my house? Please give my some wise advice about how to discourage them.
