spiders drink out of the corners of your eyes as you sleep

Once I found a large (not massive) spider on the wall, so I got the Mortein (spray) and gave it a good dose. It wriggled a bit and tried to run, but eventually stood still. I waited and nothing happened, so I went and got a newspaper and gave it a prod.
Now this is the really screwed up bit.
It's left leg fell off, then it's right, and as I jumped back the body fell off as well, leaving the other legs stuck to the wall.
What do they PUT in those sprays?!

I must have missed how that killed the spider without having to get close to it, but I give you an A for effort .Larkin wrote:
Best way to get rid of a spider (without using high explosives) is the "glass-and-paper" method, where u put the glass/jug/bathtub over the spider (depending on it's size) and then side the paper underneath the glass, then you can carry it outside.
I have a few methods of spider disposal:
A. Vacuum the bastards. Makes a nice little crunchy sound.
B. Tissues-->balled up-->grab the spider-->Squeeze tissues-->trashcan
C. Airsoft gun (messy cleanup)
D. Or that one time, where I crushed a spider with my Grand Theft Auto strategy guide.
I hate spiders, but can get close enough to rid of em.

Yeah, perfect solution. A friend and I went spider hunting in his dark, dirty, dusty, musty, and dank basement and we plastered quite a few. There's nothing like plastering a big spider....until you get bits of its guts on your cheek. I screamed like a girl, I'll be honest.-Gunsmoke- wrote:

Eek spiders I'm all creeped out now, I keep 'feeling' them on me
Wouldn't that be shit if you went back into the room and your cat was the one that was dead?topthrill05 wrote:
Always have a cat on hand. Lock the cat in the room with the spider for a solid 10 hours, problem solved.
So how bad are spiders in the city there? (by 'bad', I mean if I see more than a house spider in the 6 weeks there, I'm getting on the next plane back to the States) I have been wanting to study abroad in Australia during the summer semester, but spiders are the thing keeping me from pursuing it.some_random_panda wrote:
Huntsmans? I get them all the time.
Over here, it's the redbacks you have to look out for. They like to hide under chairs and weave trap webs for ants and the like, and they're so tiny you don't see them or their webs until they bite you. Then you need assistance URGENTLY.
When dealing with spiders, fear and common sense are the same thing - get the F away from the spider as quickly as possible. Also, I am sure the spider knows how scared we are by something that disgusting and terrifying.velocitychaos wrote:
And it feels good to know that fear didn't overcome common sense, how scared do you think the spider is of something as big as we are?
The spiders in the city? Well, you walk outside and BAM you're dead. Ambulances scream through my street every day.ClickJ wrote:

Nah, you won't find many spiders in the middle of the CBD or the surrounding areas. But once you get to the suburbs, the number increases exponentially, along with crockroaches. We haven't had much problem with snakes or rats/mice, but remember, in Australia, if you live near any lake with trees along the side, chances are that there's a few snakes that you'll have walked past countless times and never seen.
Come to think of it, I see tons of small spiders during the summer here. Once the entire bit where the roof meets the walls was dotted with black spots (about 3 spiders per square inch). During that time I went CRAZY with the spray and vacuum. Damn horny spiders.
^^I'm serious. That's happened on several occasions, and once I squashed a fat spider, to find that it had babies crawling from its belly.
And a last note, ClickJ, if you find a huntsman (usually about 6 cm/3 inches big in my area) KILL IT. Chances are it's near its babies, and sometimes they can have twenty or more babies at a time. For example, I remember opening my outer wall door, and in between the wall and the door there was a huntsman and a sea of babies CRAMMED into the gap (they covered an area of around 60cm/24 inches). F'ing disgusting. I got my spray and laid waste.

just try the good old flamethrower way...Perfume/hairspray+lighter=burnt spider.Pretty cool
If these descriptions of violence were directed towards any other animal, I'd be appalled! ...But as they are spiders it dosn't bother me.agent146 wrote:

Seriously though, spiders do a good job of keeping nasty disease spreading insects like flys and cockroaches in check. They are our friends really. Appart from when they bite you...
Spiders don't bother me anymore, Me and my lass have Tarantulas, so when you have an 8" tarantula in the house the little ones don't bother you.
This is my Chilean rose.....

Looking at that, I just realised...the "tarantula" type spiders don't bother me too much. It's the ones with long spindly legs that move like bastards that scare me.paranoid101 wrote:

I killed one of these bastards in my bathroom the other day. Not very big but it scared the shit out of me. I picked up a bottle and the SOB crawled out of the open lid.

Black widows would have me running out of the room.

After seeing some of these spiders, I would run out of my house, call in an air strike and hope the insurance company would understand!
That looks like the top part of a skull, if you get what I mean.
Yeah! Damn creepy!M.O.A.B wrote:
