I hate spiders. The little teeny ones don't bother me so bad, and the garden spiders (we call them writing spiders) are okay so long as they stay outside. I've been "fussed at" by some for killing them, telling me how wonderful they are for eating bugs. Lizards and skinks are too, and those stay out of my house. I also have a resident toad that is allowed to go where ever s/he pleases. My cat is pretty good at catching house flies. They provide him with hours of entertainment and a tasty snack when he catches one.
