Answer 2

I would recommend not bug bombing...especially if you have little kids in the house. We have terrible problems with spiders here in the midwest and I use the Ortho Home Max spray. It is indoor/outdoor and is wonderful. I would recommend that.

Answer 3

that kinda hard to say, it hard to see, but don't bug bomb it, the next you see a spider/bug, capture it (if you scare to approch it then set the bait ((use the glass mouse bait with dead flies and stuff))) and release in the wild, bug shouldn't be in heaven, they should be in the wild

that what i do all the time (one time at school the long legged spider and a body the size of very tiny ball approch me, i got scared and stomp it and regret it for the rest of my live)

Answer 4

Wolf spider.

Answer 5

That's a wolf spider. We have them all over the place here. Pretty common, not poisonous to people as far as I know, but they do have a pretty painful bite. They can get pretty big (I found one today that was about twice the size of a silver dollar), but they'd just as soon run away from you than bite you.  

Answer 6

Aaahhh. That's scary.

Looks like a wolf spider.
