i hate them to after i got bitten by a black widow spider last week.painfull

If you are in the deep south then it is probably a Wolf spider. They are not dangerous to humans but can get agressive and will bite you. Kind of like a bee sting.

Haha...we are first time pool owners in a rural community. My "city boy" hubby came to greet me when I came home.."honey, we have a boilogical issue!!" He promptly escorted me out to the pool where there was a ginormous spider hanging out on the wall. She ended up falling in when we were trying to remove her and OMgosh, she was so big because she had a gazillion babies on her back...Ewwwwwwwwww. It took us a bit but with a bucket and a spray bottle of dawn soap we got most of the 8 thousand babies that accompanied mama. Needless to say, we skipped swimming that day. Btw, ends up she was a wolf spider.

ahem.... :-)

My spider problems cleared up after contracting a pest control service.
