Been to CA a number of times, just not since the 1980's--you're right. There is a small area in CA where they grow natively--I just don't remember seeing them there.

Good grief, thanks for that mental image. I always have hated getting up at night and going into the bathroom in the dark to sit on that cold, dark toilet. Now I will HAVE to turn on the light and check it first!

Hasn't the OP heard of insect bombs? A good exterminator would have solved the OP's problems...

Oh well, we have enough people moving to Texas as it is...

I started hyperventilating just by reading that posting. What about the Dallas Area? Is it that bad there too? In the normal Family Home Neighborhoods? Is it possible to build spider proof houses? I was really concerned about moving to Texas, but now I'm terrified...
