    Can’t get lower-maintenance than a spider.

    I don’t think I could date an arachnophobe. No way I’m killing or evicting my bathroom spider! We’re bros.

      The problem with people thinking like that is the spiders are only gonna stay if the food source is abundant.

      Aka you got a lot more bugs than you think if there are spiders chilling everywhere.

        If I had a massive spider infestation, yeah, I’d want to investigate. But fruit flies and mosquitoes come and go often enough anyway. Presumably enough to sustain one or two spiders.

        Had a bit of a gnat (I guess?) problem last summer because they’re small enough to get through my window screens. Made me crazy, but even then I don’t think they were actually nesting in my home.
