      Good for you! Relocating is always preferable to killing. We love in their ecosystem too and should try to coexist when possible.

          Exactly. Me and the spiders have an agreement too 😉 its nice to be able to keep my hands clean while they take care of the wet work around our house. Especially when you live in the woods like we do, all kinds of critters out here.
