I reached for my computer mouse the other day and a spider about the size of quarter (legs included, not the body) scuttled out from under my laptop. [insert screech here]

My Spider Detente requires that I trap them and put them into the houseplants or outside.

They do seem to keep household insect pests in check. All I ever see are spiders. And lots of 'em. Callobius pictus seem to be the ones roaming my house as if they own the place.
