Yikes! When I moved down to NC from NY, I found big black spiders walking across my floor every once in a while. SMACK! The first time it happened, I texted my son, who's lived down here for 20 years, and told him. He said, "Did it have an red hourglass on its stomach?" Like I would examine it and introduce myself to a possible Black Widow? HELL, NO. I see 'em, I smack 'em. And you're right--you might as well cancel a contract that can't stop spiders.
