It's 2:30am and I am afraid to go to sleep.

I found a bunch of tiny spiders in my room today. They were on an aloe plant when I saw them. I looked at my bed and there was at least 7 of them on my sheets. <shudder> Throughout the day I found about 4 more and right before my wife went to bed she found a big one on the shade of the window above the aloe plant. She had one crawl across her pillow too. Any suggestions?

Ever since I saw those brown recluse bite pics I have been deathly afraid of spiders. I didn't like them before but I am really repulsed now.

what would a spider want with you?

they can't eat you or go to the ball game with you

How small? Like REALLY small? Red? If so, you have nothing to worry about. But, we're talkin REALLY REALLY small. How big were they? Color?

Heh.. We've been seeing tiny spiders fall down from the ceiling on webs for a while now, and I finally found where they were comming from... There was a big nursery web right below a recessed light in the kitchen. :Q

I solved that problem though.

Hairspray + lighter. :evil:

I had a similar experience but the two spiders I saw were huge. about half dollar size. I had to go and kill them before I felt even remotely safe. it didn't help that right above my head was a hole in the ceiling up into the rafters. I worried a spider would dangle down and bite me.
