Just reading this thread is making me sick to my stomach. I don't consider myself to be a girlie-girl but bugs in general and spiders specifically cause squeals of terror for me. I can't bring myself to even get close enough to squish them. Often times I will simply vacate the area and let them have it. 9 times out of 10 when I dog-sit at my sister's house there is a spider inside. I have been known to switch bedrooms to get away from the little bastards. Yeesh! Makes my skin crawl.
