Usually my husband is my spider getter. He'll coax it into a cup and carry it outside. But he's visiting his Mom and is 90 miles away. I thought about calling him but I don't think he'd pick up his stuff and drive home at 3:30 AM. Plus the spider would have been in hiding by the time he got here.

I am with you 100% on spiders. I had to get one of the guys I work with come to my office Arkansas Granny Jun 2016 #1
