What about lunchtime? Is it okay to trap them in the morning, wait until after noon, and then kill them? So far, such questions are greeted with laughter, but no answers. <br /><br />And as to some explanation of what happens to people who kill spiders in the morning... I think it is a state secret or something, because no one seems to be able to tell me about it.<br /><br />But I suppose if you're just sweeping them, you probably don't have to worry. But do you sweep with the web or against the web? Feng shui probably has advice for that...Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01422171964652699673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-301791108611372665.post-27252263715439559692010-06-03T13:16:46.227+10:002010-06-03T13:16:46.227+10:00Spiders will suck your brain out, then crawl into ...Spiders will suck your brain out, then crawl into the empty skull and control you on behalf of the Queen Spiders.<br />Truth.<br />Death to all spiders!bassethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05865106400094050929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-301791108611372665.post-50366490473675757242010-06-03T10:03:58.620+10:002010-06-03T10:03:58.620+10:00I really, really, do not like walking into the spi...I really, really, do not like walking into the spider webs. And they insist on spinning between the door and the wash line, not my best. I do try to sweep them so that they can continue to live in the flowers, rather than kill them so that they cannot continue to eat the flies.Barbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05356146279347458771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-301791108611372665.post-68627835573748511282010-06-03T08:51:45.860+10:002010-06-03T08:51:45.860+10:00Chuckle. if it was up to me, I am not even worried...Chuckle. if it was up to me, I am not even worried by Shelob indoors.

We look up once in a blue moon, make sure that Shelob isn't overhead, shrug and say 'meh'. We do make an effort to keep the cobwebs at bay inside the place... but outside? <br /><br />Well, heck.
