RE: Country by Country 22: Guatemala
It's probably less nice than you think. I keep the spiders alive for the selfish reason that I'm in the middle of a murderous crusade against mosquitos. I hate mosquitos too much to kill spiders. If a spider kills just one mosquito, I consider that spider an ally.
Also, I once worked up the nerve to try to remove the spider from my bathroom, but it moved so fast I decided that it was best to not anger it. Instead, I focused my efforts on making sure the spider couldn't crawl under the bathroom door, into my room.
I consider spiders my allies too as they eat those bugs that annoy me...but they shock me in the bathroom. I keep them alive for selfish reasons too lol. But I like geckos and lizards more... and I feel bad when my cat brutally kills them.
I'm with ya. I'd rather have 50 geckos in my bathroom than one spider :) I loved finding lizards in my rooms in Thailand and Venezuela.
