"Einen rationalen Grund, die Spinnen aus der Wohnung verbannen zu wollen, gibt es eigentlich nicht, immerhin befreien sie ihre humanoiden Mitbewohner von Fruchtfliegen, Trauermücken, Motten und anderen Schädlingen, wie der nachts im Schlafzimmer beharrlich summenden, aber nie totzukriegenden Mücke."
Wenn es kälter wird, scheinen Spinnen vermehrt in die Häuser und Wohnung zu kommen, wo sie bei einigen Menschen Hektik auslösen. Die rücken ihnen dann oft mit einem Staubsauger zu Leibe. Viele fragen sich: Bleiben die Spinnen im Beutel oder können sie wieder entkommen?
