i would just get the f*ck out of the house at that instant and just bomb it. and then move about 50000 miles away from the nearest spider.

I'd be calling the military and asking them to napalm the house. I'd rebuild but it would be on electrified stilts.

Man, I had these bastards crawling under my bed for months and I didn't even know. When I moved out I found them under the mattress, in the bedframe, etc.

*shudder*

Death to the BRS.


That gives me the creeps just thinking about it.

Well the bombs I bought to take care of the wasps that are now gone say they kill spiders. I have 8 cans and I am using them all upstairs and downstars and were going over to my wifes mothers house. I guess on a good note they took care of my wasp infestation. On the bad side I would of much rather of had the wasps.

Were not freaked out right now. Everyone is calm. I have enough to do the whole house and then some and it wupposedly keeps killing for 2 months after that. Which at that pint will be bombing again to get the babies that hattched and will yet again do it 2 months after that as well for good measure. Im sure if I keep on it and get some traps and place them all over the house I can have it all under controll. Fo rthe mean time though there is going to be bed checks before anyone gets in them and checking of shoes and slippers as well.

If I was single I wouldnt even be doing all of this. Im not to frightened by them. if I leave them alone they will leave me alone. I am doing this mainly for my wife and kids fo rthey dont need to go through the pain and suffering if one of them should get bitten. If it was me it be traps and watch what I grab, slip into, and step.

Anyway this will be my last reply till tomorrow where I will take pics of the hundreds that came out and were killed laying all over the floors :D

50+ posts in a spider thread and not one mention of Syringer?

I'm disappointed in all of you!

I hate spiders more than any other insect on the planet. Wasps are probably number two on that list.

I know two people who have been bitten by those. It's not pretty. If you get it diagnosed and treated right away it's not too bad.

this is one of my favorite threads; the polar opposite replies to that of the op's.


the op gets mancard pts x 1000

My sentiments are the same as everybody else who has posted.

I would just run.

Actually, if you can identify a BRS bite early on, the chances of any serious damage are pretty slim. Probably will have to have tissue removed either way though. :p I'd rather get bit by a BRS than a black widow/various other venomous arachnid/insect/snake/etc.

Yeah, definitely +10 to the man card points. Being a city boy, I would have jumped out of my pants after seeing that thing. And if it jumped at me? I think I would have literally screamed :p.

But now I see why that house was so unbelievably cheap.
