    I hate spiders

     



    Went in the house after a campfire one night and got greeted by this gross sucker. I realize there are bigger spiders in other parts of the country but this ranks right up there in my Its gotta die category. It got a good shot of Raid before this picture so it was more like dead spider walking at this point. spider.jpg

    This time of year they all want to move inside, I get daily call's (scream's) to come kill the latest intruder.

    Last year I was working in the garage, my oldest was hanging out with me when she starts hyperventilating because she see's a spider. I go over and see this big-a-- wolf spider cruising by, I give it an upclose look at the sole of my Wolverine boot, not real hard cause I dont want to do a major clean up. When I pulled my foot back there was a wave of about a million (give or take) baby spiders running all over, needless to say I became LORD OF THE DANCE right now. This was the first time I ever saw momma spider playing taxi, and hopefully the last.

    I don't mind spiders at all. Matter of fact, when I see one outside with a web, I'll swat down flying critters and throw them into the web to feed him/her. Back in NC, I had a lovely Garden spider fattened up to larger than that dude in the photo. 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.

    here we have garden, wolf, black widow and recluse. we also have found in the past month 2 copperheads, a black racer, a garter, and a green garden snakes. When my hubby sees one of the snakes he goes to the opposite direction. I pick them up and move them to a different location near the woods to keep them away from my kids and dogs. The only problems I have with animals are the 2 legged kind. Never know what they are going to do.

    I have had those, they can run really fast. 3 nights in a row, same time, same place, one runs across the carpet. I do not care for them either but I do enjoy the garden spiders, especially when I can watch them capture and bind up a grasshopper.

    We have a little beach get-away down in Baja. Lots of Black Widows. Problem with them is they like to hide in dark places, like under the toilet seat!!! Well, I guess that's a good place to catch flies, but.... look out! Went down one December and found a Rattlesnake in the house, hibernating. Got in under the door because I had not installed the threshold yet. I tried to scoop it out with the shovel, but it had other ideas. So I ended up chopping its head off with the flat edge, and even then the mouth was still clamping down trying to bite me. I put the body in the Fridge overnight and skinned it the next morning. While I was getting the skin off, the carcass was writhing around and wrapped around my arm! Very weird. After I got the skin and rattles off, I took it down to the beach for the birds to eat. The headless naked carcass then coiled up and the neck stump stood up in a strike position! Those birds would not go near it for at least an hour until the found out it was harmless. Someone told me that by putting it in the cold Fridge, I slowed down the metabolism. But still, what do you have to do to kill one of those things!!

    I'm with Tech, Barb.

    Spiders don't bother me and rats don't bother me, but snakes? Well, they just scare the very .... ah, .... stuffing out of me.

    And I'm not real fond of scorpions, either.

    My son (who only rarely shows signs of being intelligent) was building a retaining wall at his house when he found a fine, fat, black widow spider. He captured her and put her in a big pickle jar in his garage, and fed her whatever bugs he could find just to watch the battle. Big cockroaches, big beetles, and even scorpions. The black widow killed (and ate) them all.

    Then one day he found an egg-sack in there. Then a few days later another one. And then they hatched out and there were literally THOUSANDS of baby black widows in the jar.

    At that point his wife declared that the game was over and gave him an unladylike ultimatum (like "GIT RID OF THOSE #%"@<&:-# THINGS NOW!). He asked her how he was going to do that.

    She made him take the microwave out in the driveway and nuke the whole jar full of his little pets. She's a mean woman.

    Okay. That's the end of today's biology lesson.

    Used to be a popular song that went something like: "I don't like spiders and snakes, and that ain't what it takes, ......... "

    I've had my share of "involvments" with both of them types of critters, including the "millions of babies" thing; swatted one down that was webbed up across a walkway, and it sort of "exploded", and I had 'em all over me.
