Why does it always happen at night!

I always find spiders in my bedroom at night right before I am going to go to bed. I am feeling all calm and snuggly, ready to fall asleep and then, Bam! Horrible spider right next to my bed!

I wish they would show themselves in the daylight when I feel more able to handle it.

 

I hope you treat them well, I love spiders, they are very sacred animals, the spider is the god of pottery and bringer of sunlight

 

I do not treat them well if they are in my space. If they want to be treated well, they should stay away from me. They are my only one true phobia, so that is how that is.

If I am outside and in their territory, I leave them alone. But my bed is my territory.

 

i hope, in one of your next lives, you wont by accident, enter som giants territory with such strong sense of privacy...

 

very odd to kill anything unnecessarily imo...

are spiders really so bad that you can't get them into a paper cup and throw them out the window?

 

the stink bug is the new cockroach. They have made there way into more homes around here. than any other intrusive insect. they are pissing me off now. Its winter, Ive heard there is an office building not far from here still infested with stink bugs.. Im still killing 2-5 a day in my own home. Its crazy annoying lol.
Since ive been in this house, Ive had raccoons in my back kitchen (not invited) rats' mice chewing electric(recent), stray cat infestation, stink bugs, pantry moths, ants, wasps.. I lived in the country for years and never encountered this kinda stuff..
Spiders ,, i welcome them long they stay in their own little place and dont bother me. They can hang on the wall indefinitely..

I thought that said 'panty moths' at first read.

Fits well with the thread title: Why does this always happen at night!

I squash them with a slipper.

People can say it's wrong to kill them, but people are all scared of different things. I am terrified of spiders, it's an irrational fear.

My brother is scared of heights, i'm not. I sky dived, but i'm not going to tell him he should jump out of a plane and simply close his eyes.

I don't like killing animals, I feel bad killing spiders but the reality is that I do. Unless of course, there is someone else around to remove it for me.

 

i read once that anywhere on dry land you never more than 10 feet from a spider...anywhere in the world

 

I think spiders remind people of their own lives as insects before (because we killed insects in another life), vivid memories of being a spiders victim lol

 

I think we are an intrinsic fear of spiders because once upon a time giant spider aliens roamed the earth and scared our caveman ancestors.

 

lol idk but in one of your next lifes youre surely gonna be a spider again...

 

The why is in your description. If a spider is in your bedroom, it would make sense if you discovered them as you were going to bed. You can't discover a spider in the bedroom while you are cooking breakfast in the kitchen.

 

a spider that obviously know better than to go near an angry human, sure.

 

Actually it happens because as night falls all the spiders around the world get an undying urge to drink human blood. This craving drives the spiders crazy and lasts until sunup. Spiders have been known to eat through 2 inch thick wooden boards during the night to feast on the flesh of sleeping hippies.

 

That's what I used to think too until I tried to rescue one from a drain and it repaid me with a nasty bite.

 

I used to dispatch spiders when I found them in the house but over the last few years, I've adopted more of a live-and-let-live approach.

I learned that most are actually quite easy to ignore. They tend to set up shop in unobtrusive corners and as long as they nab a meal now and then, they'll stay put.

If I can't ignore them, if there's one eyeballing me from the kitchen counter or above the stove, I'll trap them in a jar and put them outside, or if its winter, in my garage.

They really are fascinating creatures. And there's no better natural insecticide than a spider. They can keep your home relatively free of other annoying or harmful insects. I can't say I want to hug one but I sure respect and admire them.

 

my wife use to carefully put spider outside until one bit her.

 

Spiders and crickets get captured and set free. I have one of those little lizards we have all over Florida that has taken residence in the house and it's pretty good at keeping the pest population down and he's even learned not to get to close to the floor least the dogs turn him into a play toy.
