Lastly, humans outweigh
and out-size spiders many
thousand times and are
much more likely to behave
with murderous intent. 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.
