While we were in Utah for Thanksgiving the bug guys came out and gassed our house for the brown recluse spiders that we couldn't get rid of. The left these glue traps ALL OVER the house so that if there are any left we will catch a few and they can come back before they start breeding again. They said it was one of the worst infestations that they had ever seen. Scary to me. I scream when a spider runs up my arm now, ask my mom. Anyway, these traps have their purpose but they are very sticky. Denim has been in up to 4 in one day. Luckily when they get wet they aren't sticky anymore so they just turn loose. This particular incident he got it stuck on his forearm, then the other hand got stuck when he tried to get loose. Right after I took this picture, he stuck it to his tummy too. He was in a terrible pickle. I had to quit laughing long enough to get him out. Phoebe has also had her share of problems with the traps too. Good news is we haven't seen another yucky spider since we got home. I saw one wolf spider, but I smashed it.Sunday, December 7, 2008
Damn glue traps

I think that this is karma....didn't you used to let all of the spiders live in your Blanding house? Too bad that you can't just have your Blanding spiders in your Texas house, right? Good luck getting rid of those hummers, aren't brown ricluse (sp?) the really poisinous ones? Leave it to Pants and Phoebe to be the trouble makers :)
Sorry about the nasty spiders, but I laughed out loud at this one.
