i know exactly what you mean -- and i even heard on the news a few weeks ago that that spider and scorpian population is bigger than normal so you're NOT hallucinating. We have had more than once caught thost huge things in mason jars -- scorpians and spiders both. Those big wolf spiders are so freaky!

I stepped on a scorpian about 1/5 years ago and it was horrible so really really be careful -- i went numb from the waist down and couldn't walk for 24 hours -- it was the creepiest feeling not being able to stand on your own two feet. And even scarier is that connor had walked in front of me not 3 steps and could have easily been the one who stepped on it.

so get that orkin man out there daily if you have to, and if you're in an apartment they should take care of that for you -- pester them until they are blue in the face it's their job to provide you with a safe place to live.
