It should be the spider that feels "fear" at our approach -- not us (perhaps that's why they run so fast)• Spiders can bei ignored if their numbers are small and they stay in Out of the way places. They primarily eat insects already present in homes, such as cupboard pests, silverfish or clothes moths• Sometimes they eat each other or capture stray insect invaders such as root weevils and blowflies; Spiders that are more vis- ible, like the ones that get trapped in the tub or run up a wall, can be captured and released outside, vacu- umed up or swatted flat. Usually spider activity declines by mid-October. Unless you continually introduce new spiders on firewood, household spiders will retire into obscurity for another year, quietly killing several times their weight in household insect pests and flies. If you capture a spider in your home and are curious about what type of spider you have, please don't hesitate to bring it into the WSU Extension office on Monday, between noon and 3 p.m, and ask a Master Gardener to iden- tify it for you. Please don't bring a smashed spider as we need whole spiders for identification. You can put your captured spider into a container and freeze it. Ideally, unless the spider is causing a problem, just remove it and don't give it another thought. After all, they are our friends.
