Kill 'em All!!!
Okay now tough ones, you're gonna tell me that if you walked through one of these you wouldn't freak the fuck out? You're allies because they keep the skeeters down? C'mon! Fuck that! It's one thing to be tough, but it's another to claim that you wouldn't be screaming like a little girl after walking through one of these bastard's 'homes'.

I don't scream. I yell. I don't think I can scream. I've tried it, and it doesn't work for me. In fact, when I was a little girl I don't think I could scream like a little girl then either. Prolly something wrong with me.
I think you are missing perspective, CD. What you need is a large shipment of mosquitoes. I read somewhere that female mosquitoes are the only ones that bite, and that they are not actually feeding themselves but providing sustenance for the larvae they are carrying.
Farking goddamn mosquitoes carry diseases which they share with the unwilling. Do spiders do that? Mosquitoes swarm. Do spiders do that? And in spite of bug spray, I think I've gotten mosquito bites nearly every night this summer when I've gone out walking. The itching pisses me off.
Now if I lived in Australia, I would be afraid of funnel web spiders. Those can bite through shoe leather and the venom of one spider is sufficiently lethal to kill a grown man. And they are aggressive so they will attack - unlike most spiders which would prefer to avoid confrontation. They are about tarantula sized and they can eat mice and things. I don't know how the Australians can live near such creatures.
I have been bitten by an aggressive house spider, and that was unpleasant, but at least it was survivable. We have northern widows in the garage (there would seem to be no way of completely eradicating them - when you spray for them, the poison has to make direct contact and that is unlikely to happen), and those are a little creepy because they are able to poison people - although I believe it would require a number of bites to do in even a child. Widows are, thankfully, of the shy variety of spider and they try to avoid interaction with people. I read somewhere that most (maybe all?) spiders are poisonous. That's how they kill and eat their prey, most of them. The ones we consider dangerous are the ones that can bite hard enough to puncture human skin and deliver venom.
I'm not saying I LOVE spiders. They do kind of give me the willies. But apparently they don't bother me as much as they do some people. My oldest brother and my sons are all petrified by them. At our house, I am the designated spider remover. I catch them in a Dixie cup and toss them outside where they can eat mosquitoes. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Right now there is one living in the weight machine in the garage that is causing a disturbance in the force. Oldest son swears there is a big one living somewhere near the biceps curl attachment, and that it comes out whenever he goes to use it. To hear him talk this thing must be a good 4 inches in diameter and he swears he can hear it when it moves. I have yet to see this monster even though I've gone looking for it with a flashlight. I don't want the boy dropping a stack of weights and possibly breaking one! I suggested he use the air compressor and blow out all the cracks and crevices around the weights. But he's afraid it's going to come flying out at him, so that idea has been dismissed. He saw it catch a fly once, apparently, and that made him abort a workout and scurry for the safety of the house.
You've got tarantulas there in California, don't you CD? There's a spider that you don't hear people complaining about. So they're not all bad, you see! ;)
hey CD this is Ty Guy..
That is a garden spider (Argiope) and it has real tacky web,,,but is harmless,,,up here in Tigard we have Tegaria aggrestus (sp?) the Hobo spider,,,necrotic poison and up to 3 and 1/4"... I got bit once and still have black necrotic mark on leg...Our house is full of them at night ...they are ALL over our house...but makes webs very rarley so you should like them
no shit, sissy, put on your big girl panties alreay. sheesh.
We have black widow spiders, brown recluse and the hobo spiders to mention a few of the ugly things, but I don't care what they're called ... I HATE THEM! Tiny or huge.. I hate them with a passion.
*shivers*
Wussssssss...
WOW! Thia was a beautiful girl! Be ready! The whole family will be after you...
Claudia-
When you say, "was" you are correct. After I took that picture I busted out my WMSD's and Annihilated a few generations of these little bastards!
Spiders are pretty much annoying and useless to me, kinda like liberals.
I have two cats so there is no such thing as a bug problem around here. Wheelie and Bunker are siblings and they work as a tactical team of bug/mice killers and they are quite effective...
Kerrcarto, Supergurl & Paul-
Yeah, you talk big behind your monitors, but I bet you would unload a few steamy pounds in your drawers if you walked into one of these...
rofl "...kinda like liberals..."
Good job on that picture. Macro in the dark. Well done.
My two indoor cats have had fleas for three weeks now. Spiders don't bother me.
CD: I did get one in my hair yesterday. My husband moved the hose reel closer to the house, behind an azalia bush that had a web in it. Yes, it got in my hair when I went to turn the hose on. Yes, there was a spider in it. No, I didn't kill it.
