Home & Garden Spiders can get ****ed

[Power King]

Just had an encounter with one that seemed to have superpowers.

About the size of a 50 cent piece, but **** me, could this move fast. I've never seen a spider move with as much pace as this bugger just then. Was on my computer desk's edge, lost track of it for literally two seconds, and it appeared on the other side of the desk, meaning it had to go around coz I certainly didn't see it go on top.

Coz I'm a ****ing wuss when it comes to these bitches, I got an empty colgate carton to try and catch it (no way am I putting my hand next close to it with tissues). I tried to capture the spider on the desk by placing the carton over it (sort of like enclosing a spider on the desk with a glass), but because of its pace, I kept missing. Kept trying to catch it for about ten times, but this spider so damn fast.

Then I cornered it on the edge of the desk. Thoughts it was gonna go around the side or perhaps around the back (adjacent to the wall) so I couldn't catch it, but what happened next astonished me.

From about 5cm from the edge of the desk, the spider ran off it and flew through the air toward the ground

When it hit the ground the spider legged it for all it was worth. Somehow, after trying to still capture it with the colgate carton I got it on the 5th attempt.

Sealed off the open end of the carton, went to the toilet, shook the mother****er out of there so it landed in the water, and I flushed the bitch down.

Spiders can get ****ed

edit: didnt use insect spray coz I couldnt find it

Those huntsmen can move fast & jump well, but why did you flush it, why didn't you release it outside?

If you were going to kill it anyway, why not just flatten it with a book? If you're going to catch it, let it outside afterwards, otherwise just flatten it and save yourself the drama.

I hate insect spray. Last month I had a saga trying to kill a moderately small black house spider with the stuff (it was hiding on top of the shower and I couldn't get to it).

After half and hour and the spider literally drenched in the spray, I decided my only course of action was to spray the whole surrounding area. This forced the spider to ab sail to the ground, whereupon I squished it on contact.

On another note, was at the zoo today and there's some bloody huge spiders there. Not so scary in cages, but if I saw one of those walking through my house I'd either freeze and likely be eaten by the thing, or relocate the valuables outside and set the house on fire.

Maybe he didn't want his book covered in spider entrails and fluids?

I did that once (not with a book, a shoe) and hundreds of baby spiders ran out of it.

I don't know what spider it was and I don't want to know. I emptied two cans of Mortein all over the house.

 

[Dirtywhirl]

Yeah hate spiders, I live in constant fear that there is one on me. I've got one of those zappers from Asia to deal with them. It's sort of like a squash racquet, with electrified wires in place of strings, enables you to deal with them without getting your hand too close. It may seem a tad inhumane and I was once told that the things are illegal, but they do the job so well that I can overlook it.

You could always lick the book clean afterwards.

On insect spray, it doesn't kill spiders, but it does slow them down considerably, which allows you to move into book-flattening mode more effectively. Usually what happens when you unload on a spider with insect spray is they become disoriented and fall of the roof, scaring the shit out of everyone within a ten foot radius.

I kill them even if they are outside. A dead spider is a good spider. I can't believe people who just put huntsmens outside. You're practically inviting them back into your house or car if you don't kill them.

 

[rdhopkins2]

There is a great thread on spiders already with some fantastic pics! I'll see if I can find it for you

 

[Darcy S]

The worst thing is when they're running towards you and you give them a huge blast of spray and they like rear up onto their back legs and you think they're dying but then they just keep going. Freaks me the hell out.

 

[richskee]

Watch out spider!

^Because it will just return at a later stage, and may even breed.

^Inhumanity doesn't exist when it comes to spiders

^Agreed.


and richskeee... i'm giving your post on my computer monitor the finger.

Im terrified of spiders. When I get stressed out or over tired, once Im actually asleep i often wake up and swear i can see a spider somewhere in my room like on the wall next to my head or whatever. Like I will wake up from a deep sleep and see one, next thing I know, I'm outside of my room light switched on trying to convince myself I'm only dreaming or half way to my dads room to wake him up to catch it.

Once I calm down I realise its only a dream, but it always seems so real and I can never believe how fast i go from a deep sleep to sprinting outside of my room.

ps, whoever posted the spider picture, (Im not going back to check) I hate you.

 

[Schism]

Watch out spider!

Its abdomen looks like a small,badly bruised testicle.Why God,why?**** spiders.

 

[Bowski]

Was on the freeway once and noticed a huntsman just above the side window.
Shit. my. self.
Wound the window down and kicked the car into about 130 just hoping he would fly out the window. I allways compare it to when someone blows a hole in a plane in the movies and some poor bastard is sucked out.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Its late but that made me piss myself.

Once there was huntsman on my door handle. Had it not moved voluntarily, I would have died in that room.

Not the ****ing pictures again!

As I said in the other thread, I hadnt seen a spider since moving into the new place. Certainly have now. All outside thankfully (touch wood). Havent seen any black ugly ****ers like my old place, but plenty of red backs. In the past 3-4 days, ive killed about 8 of them, including two of the biggest ones ive seen.

There were two out near the front door which I destroyed, two near the back door, one in the shed, three hiding on the side of my BBQ (which also inculded eggs which I destroyed) and one sneaky ****er hiding on the inside of my garden hose reel.

Killed them. Killed them with pleasure. I dont give a **** how inhumane it is, spiders deserve to die in any and every way possible. People who let them outside are inviting them to come back inside the house and have sex with your face while you sleep. They arent thankful. They dont care that you showed them mercy. Its kill or be killed (or crawled on) in this world.

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

Bunch of candy-arsed pansies, the lot of yez! Huntsmen are no bother - the ones up here eat blowflies that are dumb enough to land near their corner of the room. Good shit too, because I hate blowies.

Had this happen to me as well. ****ing scary as...

I used to be pretty good with spiders, but woke up one day with a spider on the ceiling of my room. As I got up he disappeared, then I saw him (or another one) on my bed. Shat myself, stayed outside of my room for the rest of the day, and finally went back and covered my room in bug spray a few hours later. Very ****ing scary, and since then I am a bit of a spider bitch...

Stop it,you're giving me a chubby

You guys understand that you are irrationally scared of something that can't hurt you, right?

I can see why people are scared of poisonous spiders, as they are dangerous, but all huntsmans and the like do are eat flies and other annoying insects. Can someone explain this irrational fear?

Reason enough for me.

Are Huntsmen not particularly dangerous? I've always been under the impression they were poisonous?

Huntsmen are harmless mate.
