Such an impressive thread!!!

I am a catch and release when it comes to all insects, except those of invasive, not natural to the area kind.

I want to say it was fall/winter last year. We would see a few hobospiders here and there, no big deal catch and release. After my wife experienced several spider bites in the course of a few weeks, that led to staph infection my policy has changed. Those...dang things..die on sight. (Working on this word filter thing..) I'm not even nice about it anymore. Stunned with deoderant and cooked on my electric fly swatter.

No problems with anything else really. I keep the tree spiders on my portch around and feed them an easy meal here and there. Good pest control if you ask me.
