I normally don't mind too much, but I've never lived Ina basement, and it makes me feel more vulnerable. I don't want to kill them, but I don't want them in my room. What can I do?

Dark walls and flooring so you never see them.

Fill your room with snakes and wasps to eat the spiders.
That's uh, quite the solution.

Well, I only have one window, and it's one of those thick ones that obscure vision. I don't know where they're coming from, but if I had to hazard a guess, I'd say it's from the ceiling above me. Its an old one and it's made of a grid and drop tiles. A couple holes in a few of them.

Also, it's not like an infestation or anything, I just saw a particularly big one, and decided to look around and found a few more. Also, several dead ones.

Who's the spider expert on CE again?

I mean is it finished or what?
Yeah it's a finished basement. Painted, clean, it's not dirty at all aside from the ceiling.

Bro, my parents split when I was 12 and I was homeless for quite some time, until my basically adoptive mom took me in. I'm only 19, I'm working on it.

Fill in and paint over those ceiling cracks and holes.

Also, supposedly spearmint oil everywhere.

There is no "would of", "should of" or "could of".
There is "would've", "should've" and "could've".

get a cat or a dog. Their movements will help deter the critters from getting on you and your main spaces and cats will hunt them.

I've worked as a licensed pest control technician for over 10 years now, and CE still doesn't call me for topics like this :(

Spiders aren't really an issue for me

Now centipedes, they're a bitch to get rid of
Now that the weather's getting nice, they're starting to come out

CONGRATULATIONS! You have saved your lovely Tina.

Oh God. No centipedes. Millipedes are cute, but centipedes. I've only seen one in this basement before and never again. They're awful.
