    There is one truly vegetarian spider in the world. All others are mostly or all carnivorous. If you have spiders inside your home, that means you have their prey, various insects and bugs. I keep my spiders so they can cull those herds before they become a problem for me.

      I used to salt shotgun Flys and put them in spiderwebs to feed my favorite spiders, sadly they died without offspring.

      Yeah a couple spiders are good, if you have a huge spider infestation then you have a worse infestation than spiders that you might not know of
