Here's third first-person account about spiders. :-) In my last place, I had spiders as house pets. They had webs all over the place and really kept the insect population controlled. We had trouble with ants the first year, but after the spiders got established, we never had another ant infestation. At my new place, I have a ground spider that patrols near my bed. It comes out at night to say hi and walks around, always very politely keeping to areas that don't interfere with anything I'm doing. I've never found it ON my bed -- I sleep on a bedroll on the floor, but often seen it AROUND my bed. Tonight I had just sat down at the computer right next to my bed, and the little guy came out and sat there by the cord just looking at me for longer than usual. (I'd been away most of the weekend.)
