Is there anything more unsettling than your four cats staring in the same direction down the hall, only for you to later find a spider on the back of your bedroom door?

"Aww, what are you silly little guys doing over-? GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY, IS THAT A BIG HONKIN' RECLUSE???"

#rae is such a dork #having four cats means relatively decent pest control on the house but also they will certainly chase things under the doors #Poor spider was probably terrified I'm sure and usually recluses are docile but I just don't like them out in the open #They're one of the most venomous spiders in America and they're everywhere but they usually stay away from people #Absolutely not fun to push a door open and come face to face with one eye level #I try to repel them with mint and cedar and regular vacuuming and noise but this is peak season for them #Usually they get trapped in the sinks and tub because they want water #So they usually show up in the kitchens and bathrooms #Mom got bit by one way back in the early 2000s and her skin right there is still rather scarred #They hide in clothes and boxes so just give a quick shake of the item and inspect shoes and gloves before sticking limbs in them #They also hide under furniture and woodpiles #They're honestly quite polite spiders that are afraid of you but they can bite if they feel threatened #So I have to share my house for half of the year with them as they come out #Rural Nowhere home problems amirite??
