For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
This poem is about true events. And these are not small spiders, but are up to 4 inches (10cm) across. Too big for me. Sigh.
SPIDERS, SPIDERS
Spiders, spiders, everywhere!
I see them climbing up the wall,
And while I sit, on me they fall,
I really don’t like them at all!
Spiders, spiders, everywhere!
As they run, they really zip,
They make me jump and even trip,
I even squashed one on my lip!
Spiders, spiders, everywhere!
I see them sitting on my chair,
I’ve caught them running through my hair,
And in my bed they really scare!
Spiders, spiders, everywhere!
They’re in my clothes and in my hat,
They are chased around by my cat,
But they will bite and make her scat!
Spiders, spiders, everywhere!
They always run across the floor,
But I can’t take it anymore,
I smash and toss them out the door!
But the next day…there’s even more.
Sigh.

Spider problems. But squashing it with you lips sounds horrible. Poor Muffin 😦
I kind of like them though when they’re far away from me because they catch other insects in their web. Damn flies.

Is there a pesticide that can be used to kill those beasts? I know with having cats around, you have to be careful. I heard one time that pouring peppermint essential oil on cottonballs and putting them around the home will help with some pests.

I do have a spider spray that does work but very toxic so I don’t like to use it indoors. however, I have been spraying outside this summer under the deck where they like to live and that seems to have worked good. Not as many spiders this season and that should be over now until next year. I like that peppermint oil idea, might try that one, smells nice too.

Get you see wasp spray and spray the spiders. They die quickly.
