******* ants

They're everywhere at home. The slightest crumb or anything remotely sticky and they're all over it. Trying to get two teenagers to remember to clean up after themselves so there's nothing for the ants is doing my head in

******* pain the arse
killed my first huntsman of the season. well thought i did. despite a 6m fall and a small dose of insecticide it survived. came back to find it had sought shelter, so i chopped it. Still alive, found a trail of ants, place its quivering body on it and let david attenborough take over

If you must be an arsehole, at least make it swift

All my huntsman friends get moved outside gently, and that's only for the wife's benefit

people who kill non-dangerous spiders like huntsman are pricks, just take them outside.
if you must be a prick, then as marklar 33 said, avoid giving the spider the guantanmo bay treatment and just kill it ffs.

Huntsman spiders are like bloody Terminators when it comes to using insect sprays, you can spray the shit out of them and think you've killed them and then come back to find it's come back to life and scurried off somewhere else.

Bashing it to death with a blunt instrument is the only sure fire way to kill the campaigners.

There's a reason the "Spiders can get effed" topic exists. Hate them. :mad:

Imagine coming home from high school and a spider the size of your fist (at the age of 13 or thereabouts) on your kitchen wall. You will get the heaviest thing available and smash the bastard.

I move all spiders outside. They are good for your garden. I put a glass over them. Put a peice of paper underneath and then move.
Saw a huntsman on the inside of the front door gave him a friendly nod upon my departure of the house. Next day he was in the corner of the roof in the hall near my bedroom so gently nudged him with a broom and he ran down the wall where I could put a container over him and safely returned him to thegarden and thanked spider bro and sent him on his way.
