Thread: I hate spiders

Tweet

Spiders facinate me, but I am cautious of them. As a kid I watched a spider,( don't know what kind) fight a red wasp. The wasp kept trying to sting him, but the spider finally won, he was only half the wasps size.

Any critters I find in the house usually end up meeting Jesus, especially black widows and brown recluses.

As far as snakes, if it's poisonous it dies, if it's not I usually let it live for pest control. Have a big rat snake that's lived in the barn for years.

That one made me laugh.

I am different than most of you, I kill any spider I see but snakes don't bother me a bit.
I had to laugh at my mom when she saw the spider, she backed away and was real carfull not to get close, and I said to her " I don't remember you being scared of spiders when I was a kid". All she said was " I didn't want you to think that I was a chicken".

I hate spiders also . Remember in Texas back years ago they told us of all the ones that can hurt you . That was enough to open my eye since the little house spiders was the most I knew of . Well now a couple cans of the good raid sprayed every month or so keeps the garage clean of pests i don't want running over me while i am working on car .

Those wolf spiders are fast and can get a to be the size of a half dollar .

Guess I never let them 'get under my skin'. LOL's. The only ones I dislike are the brown recluse and black widow. They can reek havoc on your bod. I leave the rest to do thier job....cut down on the insect population. Could you imagine a world without them? Who loves flies? I detest those nasty buggers!

I noticed over the last few days that the tarantulas must be migrating....theyre all over crossing the highway close to home. Now....those things are fun to tease the family with. Just pick them up, walk in the house, and turn on the dB meter. 'Pegged'. LOL's. I swear my 16 year old son is worse than anyone.

Yuck! I used to work in an emergency room and saw a woman come in for a spider bite...to her nose! The family had the carcass of the bug and when it was identified, she was admitted. The lady lost a good part of her nose as the poison killed the skin so she had plastic surgery performed to rebuild it. Not sure what she was doing with a spider on her nose though. No more spider pictures please, you guys are freaking me out man!!!

I look at it this way, the spiders won't mess with you if you don't mess with them, but they sure will eat the critters that WILL mess with you (bugs flying in your face). If you want to remove a spider from the house, take a paper or plastic cup and place it upside down over the spider. Slide a piece of paper between the floor/wall/whatever and the rim of the cup. Now, you have him captured and can walk him outside and give him a toss into the grass.

Now, snakes are another subject. Cannot tolerate ANY kind of snake.

We are at complete opposite ends on this one!!....lol....ever see what a Brown recluse spider bite will do to you??? The small differance spiders make in the pesty insect division are inconciquencial to finding one hiding under your sheets in the winter!!!.....I will KILL ALL spiders in my house or anywhere near me for that matter.....Snakes....If I determine it to be a posionious one and its too close to living quarters, I'll kill it....but otherwise they are good mousers!!......

While in Iraq our son said he seen a few of THESE...joe

Gotta admit Joe.....dont care for those. They look like something out of a SciFi movie. LOL's.
