An open letter to the spider walking across my floor

Dear Mr/Mrs Spider

While i appreciate your late night wanderings i have one small bone to pick, in the last two days i've come across an insect flying around inside my home, once flying past the TV distracting me from the intriguing documentary the BBC is showing about the north and south poles. This is not acceptable, i see you, i can see something flying around but i can not see a web that you're supposed to make to catch this creature flying around annoying me. Why Mr/Mrs spider? That was the deal, you live here make your webs and catch the flying things, is it really that difficult? If this is a kind of strike action against the living condition i would like your terms written and submitted by the morning, if not can you please take a break from your late night wanderings and go and create one of your silky webs and catch these flying pests? Thank you for your time and i'm sure with your cooperation we can once again continue to live in peace and harmony.

Your friend
Trev

I cannot rest until any known insect within the confines of my house, is eradicated.

I have a major insect phobia. Spiders and roaches are at the top of the list but I'm unusually terrified by all insects.

Imagine my horror on a recent night when the wife was out of town... I was watching TV about to drift off, when out of the corner of my eye I notice some movement. (I am highly conscious of insect movement and keep on watch every second... immediately turning my head if even a spec of dust flies by in my peripheral vision)

What I spotted on the wall was perhaps the scariest thing I've ever seen. It was not only the largest roach I have ever seen in my life (and by far) but when I approached to kill it, it spread its wings and flew across the room. It was a giant, flying cockroach. And I can't say it enough. GIANT-SIZED.

I eventually soaked it in enough poison to kill a herd of cows, and it died. I scooped it up and threw it outside.

It took me about 2 hours to get my heart rate back down to normal and never really got over it for a number of days.

GIANT-SIZED, i am sure the insect was thinking the same thing.

don't they say if you've seen a cockroach or flea it means you have them bad?- propper infestation? Check behind your fridge, when your wifes in though.

I am reading the Secret of the silver spider by Alfred Hitchcock, in it, spiders are
sacred because they helped save the prince of Varnia, you should read this to your
spider, an ounce of commendation is worth a ton of condemnation!

Spiders aren't insects, though. Spiders eat insects, particularly gnats and flies. Spiders are good.

Why not just PM the spider instead of airing this in public?

Our spiders eat the roaches. Unfortunately the spiders are really ugly (cellar spider). Still, I treat them as friends. I have 6 on the ceiling of my room and one is pregnant.

If you make it public you guilt them into complying with your demands.
