This not so itsy bitsy spider has been terrorizing me for over a week. When I'm in bed, when I'm on the toilet, when I'm showering, there he was looking down on me. I can't tell you how many times I've looked under the rim of the toilet before I sat down on it. Finally got the muthafker trapped under a plastic drinking cup!

Was it the size of a Buick? Did you ever call for William F. Buckley to come over and kill it?

Great.


Now just keep an eye on the toilet. There was a news story in the last few months where the old horror story of snake popping up out of a toilet, actually happened.

Give it a fair chance. Set fire to the cup and if it escapes the inferno set it free.

You wanna worry when you can only trap them in a cake tin and an LP cover!!!

To be honest, unless you are Bruce Marshall or Greg Riotengine, you dont need to worry.
You get bit by one of theirs, you got 19 minutes for the Flying Doctor to get you to the Arachnid Poison Unit before you froth at the mouth Game of Thrones style! wink

Your hate towards the Spidie films now has the crawlers aware. wink

When I was in my teens, I had a pink-toed tarantula, + a black-ant scorpion not too venomous either, a bite or sting would need hospital treatment but nothing to fatal unless the owner has heart problems. its a little worst than a hornet-wasp sting.

This isn't for the faint of heart, but I had a somewhat similar experience in 2013, which I'll quote from here:

http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=97375&forumID=7&archive=0

After I took my garbage out to the dumpster today and came back in, I noticed a black bug on my trousers that looked just like a tick. Ticks carry a lot of diseases.

I rushed into the bathroom to get it over an uncarpeted floor, and closed the door in the hopes of trapping it in there with me and killing it. I tried to brush it onto the floor and it took off flying! I didn't know at the time if ticks could fly so I still had to assume I was in danger.

It flew crazy-fast, around in little circles and then changing direction so suddenly that, to the eye, it seemed to vanish. I lost it for long stretches, and in any case it never landed anywhere for more than a second or two. Killing it seemed hopeless-- but letting it live in my apartment, and bite me later at its leisure, was out of the question.

In one of those TV-like scenes where the hero looks around desperately for a weapon, I grabbed a spray bottle of "Scrub Free with Bleach." The next time I could see the bug flying around at high speed, I blasted it in mid-air with Scrub Free. It made an emergency landing in the bathtub. I instantly swooped down and let it have some more. Then I crushed it and cleaned the tub. The day is mine!

Insects are part of the natural order and they serve a purpose in this world. What purpose do you serve?

No ticks or mites in the world it wouldn't be the same, a lot of these microbe insects pollinate the earth that makes new life + food. If your unlucky enough to get stung/bite the chances of dying are a million to one.

When I was living in Phoenix, from 1990-96, I went down to the laundry room, and found several black widow spiders in webs behind the washer/dryer. Great. Blue black, with that hour glass on the thorax. Blood red that is; looked like blood dripped on it.
Lurid.

Figured I'd be better off without them. So they got offed. Never saw any more.

When you get malaria from a mosquito bite, dont come running to your friendly neighborhood spider who could have prevented it (I assume he wasnt a brown recluse, tarantula or widow).

This really happened. Got home from work the other day, turned on the lights and a spider three times the size of the one I captured was on the wall! Never seen that one before. And I've since found another one about the size of the first one. I have no idea why I'm having an spider invasion!

sounds like somebody's been laying eggs. This could be the tip of a horrific iceberg. I recall a story on Cartalk about a car that might have been parked on a lawn for a while and a black widow laid eggs....

I've held a Black Widow before, just don't have a shaky hand or they will bite they easily sense nervousness. But what you found there was dangerous an actual nest.

We used to have a big spider that would come out of it's hole(in the skirting board) when you went passed with the vacuum cleaner.It would attack said cleaner every time.Haven't seen it for a good while now.I think it must have moved,because of the noise.

I kind of agree with this.

Stepping on them and smacking them with my car. Good enough.
