Don't store your boxes in a garage where tarantulas might move in. Or even better, don't move to a state with large arachnids.
That's right. We have a tarantula living in our garage. It's at least the size of my hand. I've seen it twice at a distance and I swear it could take on a small dog. People keep telling me that its not dangerous but that doesn't make me feel any better. I won't even park the car in there.
We have to set aside a day to move the boxes and bins out to the driveway and figure out where it's living. Then a young woman in the ward has volunteered to come catch it for us. She has one at home and would like another. Creepy. Anyway, I'll put up a picture when we catch the monster.

dude. i'd have already called someone to come kill the thing. animals, bugs, etc... do NOT belong in my house.
I will take Albany winters over tarantulas ANY DAY!
A friend of mine moved to Texas years ago and in her yearly Christmas letters she recaps all the creepy things she finds in her house. Now I'll have two friends to tell me about the things that live in Texas:)
SICK. When we were in Dallas we had a few huge bug experiences. We put a glass bowl over a spider once and it was so big you could hear when it threw himself against the glass. We both screamed. Good luck and I definitely want to see pics!
We also have a 'monster' living in our closet.
And attic.
And under our bed.

Sweet! You should keep it yourself. You could make a terranium and just collect nasty things for your boys to watch. (I'm totally weird and think spiders are fascinating as long as they are enclosed and I don't have to touch them.)
