We've had several of these in the house and they are so FAST. They also jump when you try and squish them. They get pretty big too, bigger than any spiders I've ever seen in Idaho. When we were looking at houses with our realtor we saw one, so we asked about them. He said that they are harmless spiders. So at least I am grateful for that, and that since we've moved into our new house, we haven't seen any brown recluses or black widows.
When we were outside the other day Lindsey showed me her hand and it was covered with teeny tiny reddish bugs. At first I thought it was just dirt until I saw that they were all moving. Yuck! I quickly wiped them off with a rag and washed her hands. Then the other day when I went to feed Olivia her bottle, there were a couple tiny red bugs crawling on the bottle. I about puked and hurried and rinsed out the bottle and made her a new one. I can't stand bugs!!!
We have seen a few lightning bugs in our backyard though. I like those bugs. :)
We have some crazy bugs here in San Antonio too! I found a scorpion crawling across my living room floor last week! And we have found 2-3 dead ones around the house since we pay for pest control to spray every few months! But, in our other house we had good luck with the Ortho Home Defense spray that can be found at Home Depot and lots of other places. I wonder if there's a spray for your house and yard that's specific to your area that you could get?
