1.62" and one more batch to get through.  Near perfect with the .25" via heavy drizzle Tues night and Wed to soften the hard dry ground and break the surface tension so the goodies could soak in.  Better than a 2" burst from a tstorm on baked ground that mostly runs off the hills.

I guess its spider season. My girlfriend said she killed a big yellow one that was crawling on a door yesterday, then one last night that dropped from the ceiling, and I just had one run across my desk ughhhhhhh. There must be a nest and I'm still convinced there is a nest in my car since i had 3 spiders crawl on me while driving in the span of 10 days. Frustrating

I've also noticed an alarming uptick in wolf spiders outside. I hope those suckers don't manage to sneak inside houses. But I think one may have. A few weeks ago when I was lying in bed watching videos on my phone, a black spider raced out from under the covers across the bed. I jumped out of bed and killed it quickly so I didn't have a chance to see what kind of spider it was. It may have just been a jumping spider. 

When I drained the pool last week, the number of spiders (and some big ones) that crawled onto the pool to get away from the water was very disturbing.

I used to get them in my other house, they would crawl across my desk now and then. I bought some Demon WP and sprayed inside and out and didn't see any after that.

I’m seeing a bunch outside. 

Found a large one hanging out in the wheel well of my car in the driveway. I moved him to a place in the garden. I love spiders as long as they’re outside. They keep all the flying pest populations in check.

To me, the signs outside are that our ++AN temp fall persistence is just now kicking off.

Yeah I won't bother them if they're outside, but inside that is a different problem :lol:. But yeah the number I've seen outside, especially larger spiders is very noticeable. 

Actually, I've grown to not care as much if they are inside anymore but its the crawling that creeps me out. I probably should have gotten this addressed when I was a kid...no clue where it started or what sparked it but this fear of spiders is an awful thing...if I see one near me it elicits this intense response in my body. I hate it.

Sounds like orb weavers. They’re great at killing other bugs. Non venomous to humans
