We had a spider like that in our kitchen. Normally the spray we use kills in a second or two. This spider was alive for around 10 minutes after being soaked in the stuff. Sucker was huge!

spiders are listed on the can. This is definitely a super spider. I don't know if it's dead yet.

I know what you mean. Some spiders are immune to the stuff if you spray it on top of them. with some of them, you need to spray underneath them as well, or you need to trap him in a cup and drown him in the stuff.

Also, female spiders sometimes clog up their air tubes with their eggs, and so that makes them immune as well. She's probably on her way to lay those eggs somewhere dark, warm, and moist.

Like your ear(cue JAWS music).

I read some time ago that insecticides tend to be ineffective against arachnids. I wonder if it's still true today.
you'd think they'd develop some kind of immunity to it over generations, but how would this be possible if they just kept with the dying cycle ?

Well, I don't know much about evolution, but I would say:

They don't really "develop" an immunity. What happens is that every once in a while a genetic "freak" is born that is either immune or not seriously affected by something. That freak lives to pass on his genes to create new freaks. The non-freaks die out because they are killed by the insecticide or whatever.

SPIDERS ARE NOT INSECTS. THEREFORE INSECTICIDES ARE NOT VERY EFFECTIVE ON THEM. Spray them with raid, and then light them on fire. don't inhale the results.

My mom does that. I hate it when she does that because they just crawl back out later.

It was explained to me that the spray clogs up their airpassages. It's not poison as far as I understood. How would an arachnid differ from insects in the way they breathe ?
