| Ugh, creatures all over this house. Gross. So tonight I'm standing in the kitchen and I see, like, the biggest spider I've ever seen in my life. I'm not the biggest girly girl around but I HATE spiders so I just screamed, quickly grabbed the wasp and hornet killer (LOL- it was the closest thing I could grab under the sink quickly) and started spraying it, then I grabbed a big bowl-thing and smooshed it. Ewwww it was huge!! I know it may have been harmless but you never know and I can't stand the thought of letting it run around the house while I am sleeping!! AND just now, a freakin' mouse went running across my floor!! ARGH I am going to have nightmares tonight. I swore I saw it last night but it was so quick that I thought I was seeing things. Clearly I was not. These little creatures need to stay outside!!! Yuck!!

| And it's not even Halloween yet! Seriously, I feel your horror - nothing worse than squiggly, yucky things invading our space and giving us the shivers!

| We have giant spiders as well once we had one you could hear thump against the wall it was crazy I run and scream and my grandma has become the spider/bug slayer. I'm not a big girly girl either but dont do bugs bigger then a fly. We havent had a mouse sense we have had Callie but before we got Callie we had one that really really looked like mickey mouse minus the clothes he was cute but i didnt want him touching me or my stuff. My mom tends to have a mouse problem but Sammy will let her know if there is one lol. Good luck with the mouse and hope you dont have nightmares but understand why you would if you do.

| We have fleas right now and I thought that was bad... I would way rather have fleas than mice!! Yuck, we got mice at my parents house when the dug up the ground for the high school next door, and nothing is worse than a mouse infestation I hope you are able to get rid of the nice ASAP!!

| Where was Jackson?!?! He is supposed to be an expert mouser! Has domestic life made him too good for work? Teddy would have fun chasing a mouse, but Max would probably bark from a safe distance and then jump into my lap.

Thor's Human Donating Member | I don't care about mice so much, though generally speaking, I don't want them infesting my space. Spiders are the creepiest things on the planet. I was lying in my bed innocently one Saturday not too long ago, and the hugest spider I've ever seen came crawling up on my pillow, cool as you please. I tried to set Thor on it, but he kept looking at me, all "why are you so freaked out???? What am I supposed to do?" When I finally got up the nerve to kill it... I COULDN'T FIND IT. No joke, I slept on the couch for a week. By then, I had enough courage to change the sheets. Still gives me the shivers thinking about it.

Jackson did not know what to do with the spider either. He was watching me kill it with great curiosity -- I'm not sure he ever actually saw it moving, lol. Then he might have been more interested. Mice don't bother me when people have them as pets, or in the pet store. I used to play with them at a neighbors house all the time. But when they are crawling around my house... YIKES!

Thor's Human Donating Member | Thor didn't even see the spider. He seemed to be thinking, "you are extremely upset. I will watch you closely to gather more information about why you are screaming and waving your arms."

| Centipedes are the absolute worse, for me. I saw a huge one on our retainer wall the other day, and lost about two years!
