Spiders indoors. Yay!

When you see a spider in your house, especially during this time of year, it is most likely that it is not inside because it is cold out and it wants to be warm. That spider has been in your house for about a year, from the time it hatched out of it's egg to it's full grown one inch leg span now. And it is also most likely that it is a male spider looking for a female. Most female spiders will lay an egg sac in the fall months and die. Almost all spiders you find outside, stay outside. Very few of them will come indoors where it is warm because they die before it gets too cold. Very few of the spiders you find inside have been outdoors, residing in your walls or under the funiture that hasn't been moved for the last six years in your living room. And if you are the person to have the nerves to get near them to move them outside, you really aren't doing them any favors. You may think so based on your own ideas that it will be happier outside because there are more things that spiders like to do outside and you will be happier because it isn't near you anymore. They are inside because their parents were inside and when they hatched, they were inside from the beginning and don't know anything else. And many spiders are designed for dark, quiet places where there is little food and water. When they are in the crawl space under your house, they are catching all of the bugs and other spiders under there. So they are perfectly happy there and they are set up for it. So you may ask: Why did it come out if it was so happy down there? Well, if it is fall time when you are reading this, it is pretty much the time where males spiders go looking for females and they most likely haven't found a suitable female in the boards in the walls where they are, so they go roaming until they find a female. In some other occasions, they will come out when they haven't found any bugs or water where they were, and so they came out to find it. You found it by accident and the reason it ran fast was because it saw you and wanted to get away from you as fast as you were trying to get away from it or kill it. They don't mean any harm and are just living their lives like any other creature is. They should be left alone if they are near a place that they can get away from you and hide. They don't like you anymore than you do, so leave them be.
