You will not believe when you will read this story, but it is true. Recently, I found a wolf spider in my own home. I could not believe my eyes, especially because I moved a couple of months ago and I was not expecting such an unpleasant visit. I was looking to move from New York City for quite a while and I was searching for a small town in a rather quiet state. This is why I chose North Carolina as my new home. I would have never imagined that once with the moving I would have such surprises, not at all pleasant. The house I bought belonged to a family with kids, so I do not think it was very tidy. I am all alone, but I cannot imagine how did that horrible spider entered my home. When I purchased the house, the couple that sold it told me this is a wonderful neighborhood. I loved it from the start because it is close to the forest, but I could never thought that I could find something like a spider this big in the house.

The area is really wonderful, but I would prefer to stay as far as possible of spiders. The one I found a few days ago was quietly walking through my bathroom. I simply could not believe my eyes when I saw it and the first thing that came to my mind was to lock it in the bathroom. Well, that was not the brightest idea I have ever had, because after searching online for details about wolf spiders, to see if they are toxic or not, I could not find it anymore.

I was determined to kill it or to take it out. Honestly, I was planning to kill the wolf spider, but when I had the guts to enter my own bathroom, it was not there anymore. I have no idea how did he enter the bathroom, but it is clear to me that it used the same method to get out of it. It is possible to be hidden after some drawers I have in the bathroom, but those are too heavy and I cannot move them all by myself. Until I can find the spider, I keep a bug spray in the bathroom and also a heavy book, to throw it on the bug in case I see it again.
