I will tell my son that one. My son scared of them and will not be happy till we caught it even a tiny one. We tell him we caught it and put it outside. Anything for a quite life!

I have a biggy in our garden shed, it scurried into a large web which is where it will stay until I get the long-handled feather duster ;D
