If I stepped in the shower and that was in there, I would have to move. Maybe even burn the house down on the way out. There is a whole lotta NOPE going on in those pictures.
The Tarantulas are one of our friendlier "bug" critters. Even some of our beautiful butterfly and moths sometimes do a pinch. Many REOnauts know about our many scary creepy/crawly things out here. Not the place to be if you are not used to being around them.

We don't normally use insecticides outside or inside but I do bomb the upstairs and attic every 5 years or so. I do use Amdro for the Fireants. Our biggest
threat, now, is West Nile Virus from mosquitoes and that is terrifying!! They did areal spraying, a couple of weeks ago, for the very first time ever, for mosquitoes. It's especially harmful for beneficial insects, and on up the "food chain". Very possibly millions of bees were killed. There were many protests from farmers and bee keepers but the West Nile situation is pretty serious in parts of Texas with lots of deaths. Death is not the only problem as those with serious infections can have life long debilitating "injuries" including paralysis, organ damage, and even brain damage.
I'm really conflicted about the spraying. We are surrounded, on
three sides, by protected wildlife habitats. I don't know how the bird populations will be affected.
