I don't have any experience growing carnivorous plants and I was wondering if there is a good plant that spiders can get trapped into. We seem to have a bit of a spider problem in our house, mainly what we're worried about is hobo spiders. My boyfriend just got bit for the 2nd time this year.

Would a pitcher plant work?

where I live we have to worry about brown recluse spiders.

P.S. What part of Seattle are you from? My family and me are moving to Renton WA just outside Seattle.

people tell me I have the body of a god... too bad its buddah.

Gosh, I feel for you Chermoni, but I can't help you much in the spider-trapping plant department. There was a "Spider" topic here earlier this year, that you might want to take a look at. (Sorry, but no plants were mentioned that trap spiders... only the ones that attract them!)
I HATE spiders & creepy-crawlys!

What The Plant Doc said there, about putting deodorant on spider bites, was interesting (although I'm almost sure that he meant antiperspirant). I think that's a handy thing to know... & so is the moth ball thing, but I don't know if I could stand the house smelling like that!

Hey... just wanted to mention that I went to Ballard High!
I was going to mention a few more things about that, but my few things got pretty wordy so I deleted them! I think we could get carried away & totally hijack Chermoni's spider topic if we're not careful (& she'll never find out if there is a plant like the one she's looking for)... so I started a topic in Banter Hall ~> Moving to the Seattle area. See you there?

Getting back on track now... I do hope someone will come along here & offer more help with your spider problem than I have!
