Who don't like spiders in their house??

They don't bother me in the least. I used to raise and breed over 400 different kinds of tarantulas for the pet trade (captive bred means taking less from the wild). Everything from incredibly colored tree spiders (Avicularia versicolor) to dinner plate sized ones that conjure up many fears (Theraphosa blondi). At any given time I would have had well over 1000 tarantulas sharing my home with me.

I would rather see a spider in my home than a fly.

Unless these are the types of spiders running around your home I can't begin to understand peoples fear of them. (Unless, of course, you happen to be allergic...that's a bit different). Though to be fair, those who don't like them in the least can't begin to understand how at ease I am with them.
