Ours will get rid of mice PDQ. Spiders she has a play with. If they're small enough she eats them. Otherwise, you figure out what's going on when she starts scuttling around and roots them out, then out with the size 11's. Kevin

Spiders are rather helpful. believe it or not. They catch and dispose of flies, that as we all know pass disease, and I understand their webs can be used to help open wounds heal. If you spread a web over the wound, it provides an open matrix for the red blood cells to form on, and hence scab over. Next time your on a deserted island with no Elastoplast, remember that! Thumbs Up!

But they make a mess on the carpet when you hit them with something hard and cause trouble when you leave them for the wife to clean up the next morning Wink
