OK you couldn't PAY me to go in there! And I don't usually mind spiders. If I can see them that is. The thought that they might be "somewhere" freaks me out.

Spider webs like that actually give me the creeps so I aint going in there either. LOL. I will be cleaning it all up with a long broom before I go in there, and work my way in.

I held the raid spray up to that hole for about a minute and GTFO before I get poisoned.

Australian spiders are researching flying tech, so you'll be fucked soon enough.

I got bit by one on my upper arm when I was 11. My skin started dying and it left a nice sized scar. Scary stuff. You don't want to get bit by one.

If you're that concerned why not call in a professional exterminator? The problem with eliminating spiders is that they're mainly good- and they get rid of all the other pests people don't want around. I don't really kill them, I basically just shoo them out of the way (since I have pets I put them outside to keep my cat from eating them ).

I don't give a fuck if they're good insects, I don't want any in my house. They're Kill on Sight.

ive been farming some daddy longlegs in my back bathroom. i now have 8 of them, all about 3" long at the legs. thats just standing there, im sure if i flattened them they would be longer. their webs are kind of fun to watch evolve, and their "society" is pretty tight. they seem to do the same patterns every generation, which i thought was interesting. i dont kill them either, before i spray for bugs ill shoo them outside, and i will take them out of any other room in the house and put them on the trees outside rather than smash em.

use motorcycle chain lube. its like napalm in a can. it will stick and burn for a while, which is much fun. i used it in a film project back in college, coated my mc tire with it, lit it and did a burnout of flames. turned out pretty cool when cut into the scene too, it was a circle of fire spitting out little fireballs with a trail of flame behind as i took off. ruined the tire and fender tho.

They're arachnids. That is all.

Spiders are good and bad.

Good for getting rid of other nasty bugs.
Bad = bite you if you piss them off and they've been known to crawl in your mouth while you sleep at night.... :disgust:

Recluse spiders build irregular webs that frequently include a shelter consisting of disorderly threads. These spiders frequently build their webs in woodpiles and sheds, closets, beds, garages, plenum, cellars and other places that are dry and generally undisturbed. They seem to favor cardboard when dwelling in human residences, possibly because it mimics the rotting tree bark which they inhabit naturally. They also tend to be found in shoes, inside dressers, in bed sheets of infrequently used beds, in stacks of clothes, behind baseboards, behind pictures and near furnaces. The common source of human-recluse contact is during the cleaning of these spaces, when their isolated spaces are suddenly disturbed and the spider feels threatened. Unlike most web weavers, they leave these webs at night to hunt. Males will move around more when hunting, while the female spiders tend to remain nearer to their webs.

fyi

they're fucking everywhere. this is exactly why a nuke from orbit is the only sure-fire method to eradicate the beasts from your home.

That's a bad idea!

They'll mutate and take over the Earth fo sho!

I read a story in the newspaper out here months ago, maybe even late last year. A dude who was paralyzed was bit by one of these spiders, and after wards had the ability to walk. They didn't go into detail about how well he could walk, but to have legs that never works turn into even semi function legs is craziness.

If I was paralyzed and saw that thing crawling up my chest I would regain the ability to not only walk, but run like hell.

Seriously - You'd run faster and longer than Forest Gump.

Today, I saw a spider in my bathtub, so instead of killing it, i decided to bring my dog inside the bathroom to kill the spider for me. Turns out that the spider was a brown recluse, and my dog was bit. The dog killed the spider. The spider killed my dog. FML

Fuck Australia: They are attracted to water and hence are often found in swimming pools where they have fallen while wandering. The spiders can survive such immersion for up to twenty-four hours and can deliver a bite when removed from the water.

Australia is messed up. When I lived there I went to Cairns which is like a tourist place and you couldn't do shit because everything was full of animals that would kill you.

1 - Can't swim at the beach because their massive saltwater crocs would actually SWIM IN THE OPEN OCEAN

2 - Can't walk in the forests because you'll die from like a billion different insects or snakes

Why?!? What did Australia do to piss off mother nature?

Fuck that I would put on a full hazmat alien crash site suit with some chainmail armor under and some kind of poison fog gun. Fire can miss, the fog will get all over in every crevice and hidey corner. Fuck those spiders good!

Wow, was it that fast? No chance to get it to the vet and have something done? That's insane. Had no idea those spiders were that dangerous.

And sorry to hear of the dog, that's a sad way to go.
