Where I used to live we had cockroaches and it got to a point where our kitchen was never safe. We moved right after our contract was up mainly because of this into a really nice conclave of garden homes. At first there were still some pesky roaches aloof. We noticed however that they weren't alone because there were spiders too. We stomped, vetted furniture, and finally after a while came to a startling realization. Where we failed at vetting everything from cockroaches, The Spiders succeeded and ate them, then reduced their numbers naturally. I now love spiders. Spotted one yesterday and put it on a fern I had watered recently. Hopefully he got a sip.

(and they aren't retarded, no they don't go in your mouth when you sleep)

I may be missing something with your use of Vetted. But yeah, spiders are dope. I usually don't mind them unless they are Hobos or Widows (quite venomous). And I remove Wolfs during Autumn because they have massive amounts of babies on their backs at that time. It doesn't leave much but I've got a small child.

when trying to move, we "vett" the furniture by checking everywhere and bumping it on the ground to see if there are any roaches in it... I can't think of a better word but I'm all ears.

I remember when I was young, I touched what I thought was an old cocoon in the garden and it was actually like 300 tiny spiders that burst into action.

edit: it was wolf spider babies. My buddy was obsessed with killing them because one bit him and it was almost a golfball size welt

Check. That's the word. Unless you are comparing third world immigrants to cockroaches then carry on.

Same with snakes if you have a mouse problem and hate cats as much as I do.

I tend to leave the spiders alone except for the black widows. They can burn in hell. I just wish my spiders would eat the ants. I'm always doing battle with the ants getting in the house. I think my house was built on some sort of super colony.

I have always hated flies with a passion.
As a child I recognized that spiders were my best ally in the war on flies. So I have always welcomed them in my home. They only stay if there is food, and the leave once the food source is used up.
My cats usually snack on any that set up somewhere they can reach, but the rest are allowed to stay.
I don't often get any though. I'm on the 5th floor, in a city.
