One of these buggers found it's way into my house last night. My dog saw it first, right before the kids went to bed. It was on our living room ceiling. My kids are FREAKED out. I shot it with wasp spray then sucked it up with a vacuum.
I've found one in my garage a few months ago, but in six years these are the only two we've seen. In my prior house we used to see them every other month or so, but this is new to this house. I'm pretty sure they are wolf spiders, though it is possible that it could be a huntsman. Neither are dangerous, but YUCK!
The spider had a body about 1"-2" long and a legspan about 4"-6".
I want them gone, mostly for the sake of my kids, though the thought of one of those buggers crawling across me while I'm watching a movie does not have much appeal (not even if it is Arachnophobia!)
Anyone have any suggestions? I know spiders are tricky to be rid of, but there has to be a way...
