[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 664835, member: 1963"] Wolf spiders come in different sizes, ranging from tiny, to scarethebejajeezusoutofyou. They are known for speed and jumping ability. The ones we get around here max out at a little over an inch including legs. Not too humungous. Earwigs are hideous, prehistoric looking insects that feed on decaying plant matter, which includes rotting paper, etc. They are actually harmless, but the males are possessed of a fearsome-looking set of pincers on the rear that are actually used to grasp the female during mating. My stuff was in storage for 6 weeks, and yes, you guessed it, indoor, climate-controlled storage, so it's likely it got infested there. I won't spray if I can avoid it. I've gotten the boxes out of here. Have resorted to killing the house spiders due to having gotten sick of getting bitten, and seem to have evicted the last of the wolf spiders. (Either that or they left due to lack of food--wolf spiders like to prey on other spiders, and probably came in to eat the house spiders.) [/QUOTE]
