That’s why I only kill the roaches that venture into my house, if I see a roach in the street I leave it alone to thrive that way all future offspring will be selected for street only living.

I’ve gotten brave in my old age. I only relocate them if they become extremely inconvenient …like my doorway spider (sorry frank). I ignore house spiders entirely as they transit my house. Good luck, leggy friend.

I have a pretty orb weaver on the porch (or I did last summer). Hope I get another.

I kill plenty I don’t see, too, whenever I bug bomb my home.

I once tried making a similar argument to a game warden about only hunting deer during the day. They were not appreciative of the take.

This was after I hit a deer with my car while driving home from Thanksgiving, it was not a good time.

Birds also only eat spiders they see. Not sure how that’s any different

I recognised this problem years ago and decided to also let them eat bugs in plain sight. Unfortunately my house isn’t big enough to counter evolution on my own, but I feel there is more people out there who also stopped killing spiders because of this.

Good, we should make them even more reclusive and smarter. Honestly, an army of highly intelligent bug killers specialized in keeping out of my sight hiding in the interstices of my house sounds like an awesome idea

Why kill spiders? Oh, maybe it’s Australia.

i select my spiders based on how effectively they can eat and rid me of the annoying gnats

Aren’t they already smart?
