LOL! I'm not afraid of spiders in the least, but then, I haven't come across the really huge ones. However, I really don't like cockroaches or any other flat crunchy insects!! Once, I lived in a house with lots of other people - we had chickens, rabbitts etc. out in the back, and the owner brought back sacks of bread for them. Soon after, the cockroaches were all over the place. We had to empty everything out in the kitchens, when we took the fridges out, there were loads of eggs sitting on the warm pipes. In the end we got rid of them by using some blue stuff we smeared over the edges and doorsteps.
