If you have a lot around, then try dehumidifying rooms (especially the bathroom and basement) - that will help make it less pleasant for them.

re: OP - Add me to the "Cool spider-pet!" group. As long as you can find a way to release the young'uns safely (and preferably far from the house). It is interesting that we have such a deep fear of venomous creatures when it's very easy to die from other causes (usually involving oversized tin cans colliding or dense pieces of metal lodging in our bodies). Not a critique, just a musing - maybe it's the death we can't see that freaks us out.

I love bugs and try to be chill about them at all times, but it's hard not lose my shit when one of those bastards the size of my kid's palm is skittering along at head height, even though I *know* it's not poisonous. Overriding the primal instinct to flee takes work.

When I visited San Diego a few years ago, I was continually surprised by how laid back everyone was about everything. My confusion reached its nexus when a guy I was talking to said he had seen a black widow in his house that morning and had meant to do something about it, but then he got busy and forgot, so I guess there's one in there somewhere.

I think he saw the look on my face and knew I wasn't coming over for drinks.

This is the first lady to lay eggs. Some horrific book on spiders we have lying around the house says that once a black widow mates, she can store the DNA of her mate *inside her* for the rest of her life. Yay!

Please tell us everything about your delightful creature in a mighty feature. Where did you get it? Why do you have it? How do you care for it? I yam fascinated.

One year there was an egg case in my Weber mini grill, dormant over the winter...thousands hatched one day, swarming over the lip of the black metal.

I have so many questions this morning! I'm always bummed out by people who can't check their fear and look at spiders with any sense of curiosity or wonder. I get it, it's a spider, it has 8 legs and is all spooky and primates have an instinctual fear response to them, but jesus, get a grip. It's a photo of a spider in a container.
