Spiders on my walls

I've had these little suckers running up and down my walls for the last month or so. Guess it's a Spring thing. I have no issue with them because they don't do anything but run up and down the wall. :)

But they are getting bigger and bigger. They started out about the size of a pea(legs included in measure) and now the are around the dime and nickle size.

At what size should I start worrying?

Maybe they're Daddy-Longlegs (Opilionids)--I've seen those swarm, but outdoors. They look like spiders, but they're not.

edit: BTW, you're--uh--not "using" anything that may cause hallucinations, right?

While you are sleeping, they will pry your lips open and crawl down your throat into your intestines and lungs. They will eat the soft tissues and deposit their eggs and die shortly thereafter. About 2 weeks later they will begin hatching. They will be hungry and start eating the lining to your lungs and your intestines. As they grow you will begin to bulge and feel excruciating pain. You will have to be rushed by ambulance to the ER where they will cut you from throat to belly, saw through your ribcage and use an expander to open you up. The bloodthirsty varmints will swarm from your body cavity, invading the operating room and attacking the doctors and nurses. You will be abandoned by your medical saviours as they flee to save their own lives. The hospital will be evacuated and the fire department will set incendiary devices to burn down the entire structure in the hopes of exterminating this threat to humanity. They will, of course, be unsuccessful and the entire world will be overrun and decimated by them within six months. Human life will exist only in isolated pockets of the frozen north.

The survivors, as they venture into warmer climes in the centuries to come, will encounter the evil breed and learn how to make sumptuous pies from their dead carcasses. They will be called Eskimo Pies.

Is this a FPS or RPG?

You need to call an exterminator now. This reminds me very strongly of the movie "Arachniphopbia".

It's just one of the folksy stories I tell my children when I put them to bed at night.:Q

I'm not calling exterminators.
I'm no tree-hugger but I don't like poisons being sprayed in my house. I regularly kill the spiders when they are within reach.
But the two up near the corner of my room are not really in reach. I am not about to stand on my desk and risk falling down for a couple of little bugs that could care less about me. But I think they are looking down at me and planning an attack... ok, maybe not. :p

Besides, I always heard that spiders eat other more scary bugs. :)

No, I am drug free. I've had a couple beers but I could easily smash the two spiders I see now(they are not above my desk) and scan them to prove I am not hallucinating.

What really bugs me are the spiders under my skin when I stop drinking the beer.

:Q

I'd start worrying if they start demanding things from you. I'd also worry if your computer is near where they are...they might want to climb in there and nest. :Q

What kind of spiders are they? I had them running up and down my walls as well, but they certainly weren't welcome.

Nothing worse than running down your stairs with your hand on the rail only to find a huge brown recluse inches from your hand. What's more, waking up only to find one a few inches from your face. Ever seen a person with a BRS bite on their face?

When I moved out of that place I found dead ones everywhere. One indication of the BRS is really sloppy webs; quality engineers they aren't.

If there was ONE BRS in my house, I'd be in a hotel the next day, and have it bombed, agent oranged, napalmed you name it. I've seen a brs bite, and I'm not risking messing around with those buggers. They're not as mean as a black widow----but man. Having one or two of them would be more then enough for me to have nightmares. i'm glad you don't live there anymore as I don't have to worry about you getting bitten tonight. Man that makes my skin crawl just thinking about it
