My bedroom and animal room is in my basement, so I've kind of had to accept that my eight-legged friends aren't going anywhere. Interestingly, I've noticed a major shift in the dominant spider species the last two years I've lived here. Originally it was just cellar spiders, then over time it has gotten to the point where it is only wolf spiders. I also have a lot of house centipedes.
They keep the pest insect population down so at this point I don't mind them too much, except for when I accidentally step on one. Not a fun way to start your morning...
On another note, my boyfriend got over his phobia of centipedes by buying one. I'm not sure why he did it, all I know is we went to a reptile show and I was getting supplies and when I turned around he was holding it in a cup. We named her Princess.
