David and I are so excited it's spring. We have a lot of fun plans for this summer, including David's awesome class schedule of rock climbing, fly tying, soccer, D&C, Methods for Seminary Teachers, and Comm 100. We're also planning on doing a bunch of activities with the school, fishing, and camping a lot in the mountains where David's parents just bought a few acres of land. Not to mention the family reunion and the Lowder water slide parties. This summer promises to be full of lots of fun... however, the one thing I am dreading about summer is our buddy, the Daily Herald...
We live in the basement of a house and, because of this, we get a lot of pesky friends that stop by. Last summer, I would hate to get out of bed first because I knew there was a spider waiting for us. We'd kill it and find another one the next day. So we named each spider Herald and each day we complain about the return of the Daily Herald in our apartment.
And today, I found our first Herald...
It's already begun and it's not even officially the first day of Spring!!
So my question today is, how do I officially get rid of our pesky friends? I tried a few bug repellents last year but to no avail. Does anybody have a great solution for this?

We pay to have the spider people come and lay down a spider barrier around the outside of the house a couple times a year. It's totally worth it because then the spiders are gone. Basements are especially bad for collecting big nasty poisonous spiders. We tried several over the counter things and finally caved and went for the big guns. With little kids I decided it wasn't worth the risk. Look in your phone book under pest control. Here it's about $50 a time but twice a year seems to keep them totally under control.
haha You guys are funny. I love how you've named them. :) We had a spider problem at a house we rented. We asked the owners to spray but they never got to it before we moved out. I know my mom puts those sticky mouse traps in the corners of their basement and spiders get stuck on them. Its kinda gross to see how many accumulate there. Blah! Good luck!
