As much as they gross me out, I'm not always able to kill them. They're so repulsive. I named the one under my bed Betsy. I managed to talk one of my sisters into helping me pick up the bed and kill it, since it was in an awkward place.
Another spider story - there are lots of tarantulas in the local hills, and one year we were driving home from Millerton Lake. There was a great big tarantula in the middle of the road, and we picked it up in a plastic bag and deposited it in a safer place.
In yet another story, someone or other ran over one in a car and it made a big popping sound.
Repulsive or useful, new debates never end surrounding spiders.
