Home & Garden Spiders can get ****ed

Catch them and let them go.

Not a single White tail or Huntsman encountered inside our home this summer, probably something to do with the fact Daddy long legs have taken over the place.

They are our personal security guards.

They're hibernating mate, a bit like those big mothers in Arachnophobia in the barn. Except these guys will be in your ceiling. Get out now before dark.

I saw a huntsmen that was almost the size of my hand under our bath mat when I went to get it off of the shower screen. I wasn't sure if it was dead already as it didn't jump off when I put the mat on the ground, but it didn't last very long under there when I stood on it.

Spiders don't bother me much but that was a bit too close for comfort.

Usually in summer after a hot day they come out at night to hunt in cooler conditions.

Either way I'm happy.

I think I copped a bite. Got a reddish lump a couple of days ago on my stomach that stings to the touch, but isn't crippling me with pain (and at this stage doesn't seem to be weeping or showing signs of infection, and I feel no nausea). Wondering perhaps if I copped a white tail bite, or even if it was just a garden spider. Should I head to the Doc, or try some antihistamines first?

Have a Golden orb spider that sets up its web on my back deck each night, probably around 10cm wide

I had a big huntsman last night up near the ceiling of my room, spayed it, it shoots its web, swings (I think by accident) like spiderman like 5 metres to the next wall the little Syd

Pretty sure Huntsman don't have webs. So no doubt you killed something worse

Really? Everyone in the family assumed it was, You couldn't actually see the web but it sort of swung across a narrow are between two walls like something I'd never seen before

From the Wiki: "As adults, huntsman spiders do not build webs, but hunt and forage for food". So I am not sure if that means as kid spiders they do?

Pretty good read here.

Yea I'm not sure, it looked fairly grown, but then again I'm not 100% sure on how big a younger Huntsman looks size wise, if they even make webs.

It may be possible that they can make webs but generally choose not to?

Get them in my garden all the time. Used to hate those things until a few weeks ago. Out mowing the lawn and I felt a sudden sting on the back of my neck, thinking it was a bee sting or something I swiped at the neck, off flew one of those bastards.

Started swelling up causing local sharp intense pain. Pain lasted only a few hours, was intense though. Felt nauseas the next day but that was it.

Only spiders I have a friendly peaceful relationship towards these days.

I think I got bitten too recently. Is on my leg, but it's definitely not a mozzie bite. Seems to be clearing up on it's own and no pain tho.

Lol wut?

A woman was on My Strange Addiction- addicted to being stung by bees. Absolutely loved it, would keep bees and make them sting her.

****en nutcase.

I'm a big fan of relocating the spiders too. I just generally do it via the bottom of my shoe.

 

[benji2]

Don't mind Huntsmen, especially if they can catch a few other insects for me. Daddy Long Legs are fine too.

Redbacks and White tails get the shoe unfortunately.

Any other spider would probably get relocated if inside, left alone if outside.

Now I know what the bite feels like i'm ok with it.

Is anyone else getting plagued with Daddy Long legs this summer?

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Spiders have been replaced with Pythons, 3 in 2 days all different species. Bit harder to get rid of as well.
