it's war

I've always had a fear of spiders. never thought that in my newest residence that i would be in full out war with them, facing my fear. so far i've bombed, sprayed and bombed again in order to build myself a barrier. so far, it's worked...except one place.

when i first told my roommate that i would live with her, i was ecstatic...a whole basement to myself with a beautiful bathroom with walk in, tiled shower and seat. beautiful. i even purchased a big ass shower head for it and transformed it into my own little spa.

all was well, until i started seeing these huge spider creatures on the shower curtain...only 1 at a time. i killed them all, one smushed into the shower liner and forced me to buy a new one. i bought a drain plug, and after last nights viewing of big ugly spider 5 crawling up the wall, AFTER my latest bug attack, i've had enough. i now have a bowl over the shower drain.

i'm at a loss. i'm wet and naked in the shower, my most vulernable, and i'm asked to kill spiders at the same time? i now wear shower sandels, so that i can stomp if needed. please, if anyone has any miracles to guard against these uglies, please share!

I'm sorry you are having to battle those awful creatures! Have you tried bug spray around there? They may not be coming out of the drain.

Well, I've sprayed a couple of times...and I don't find them anywhere else but the shower. My mom was telling me that when they leave for the weekend, she has to put the stopper on the drain upstairs so spiders don't crawl out. We'll see what happens now. My guess is that I'll be in this place for a year, then I'm moving to a high rise apartment where the spiders don't habitate!
