Just a few days ago, I saw one on the ceiling of my bedroom when I was lying down on my bed to sleep. I could not use the insecticide spray because it was too high up. For the whole night, I was restless because I was afraid that the spider would crawl down onto my bed 🙁 In times like this, I wish I have the spider catcher.
