Okay....let's talk about big ass jumping spiders!

[AngelicAssassin]

Now there's a visual I could have done without. Thanks heaps, WriterDom..

Some have been known to suck the juice out of mice as well ...

I adore spiders, I don't understand everyone's disdain of them... Just think. They eat ROACHES.

Now THOSE are a disgusting blight on my peace of mind.

here is how i see it...if they arent renting the space they occupy in my home they get evicted. they can stay outside in the nice fresh air if they want.

lol i still prefer them to vile roaches. Living in FL, home to the big disgusting palmetto bug, spiders are a welcome tag-along.

Gee, thanks all!

I am sure never to sleep in this house again!



We don't have roaches here unless it is in the lower end of town. They simply aren't as prolific as they are in warmer climes.

Xelebes, I am twelve miles from Canada. I bet this little bugger could swim the St Lawrence River in record time!

Be glad you don't have chiggers there. They love asses, balls, and other warm moist places. And if you get them, you never get just one.

I'm down with that, and down with the spiders. I figure I can't kill anyone that likes wrapping up bodies in strings almost as much as I do.

I make M shoo them out gently or I pretend not to see the web or I let my cats eat them and nature take its course.

Not where I live. Go further north. Just don't end up in Northern Ontario-io.

I shan't be visiting the south anytime soon!




But chigger play for male subbies?
Now that has potential!

Bring them down. I have the perfect place for them to roll around in the grass naked.

Not that you have to do that to get them. They are very skilled at crawling up your leg.

If you want to torture them for about 4 days.

now that is just awwww fulllllllllllllll


But I love it.

Of course, that description reads like a horror story.

OK, I have to stop reading this thread now....I feel like things are crawling all over me. And whats a palmetto bug...same as a NY waterbug?

I didn't know a fire ant from a piss ant until a few years ago when I was unloading my car while standing on a mound. At least the killer bees aren't here yet.

Yuck yuck yuck and icky!!

I'm not a bug fan. I'd rather have spiders than some of the others cause they eat the others but still. I live in the middle of the freakin country. There's a whole great lovely outdoors our there with a rotating menu of tourists! They should be out side, free range sort of bugs.. Or at least they should be far far away from me...

How to kill an insect

Step one: Spray it with something other than water, perferably something toxic. Hell, spray cleaner works just great.

Step two: take something hard, like your shoe or a glass, and squish it.

Step three: Pick it up with toilet paper and flush it down the toilet.

Guarenteed to never come back to life. Always kill bugs three times. It's the only way to win.

The only problem with that plan is that spiders aren't insects.

If this is them, yes.


Netzach, i like you more and more every day.

Spiders Rock...

Shame on you! Kitchenwitch wisdom say: Bad luck to kill spiders inside the house. I always rescue them.

UNLESS they are Hobo spiders. Here in the Pa. NW, we have three varieties of "basic house spiders", class, Tagrensis. (the "T" in T. Domesticus.) They are: T. Domesticus, (common brown house spider,) T. Agressus, (The Hobo spider, VERY poisonous,) and T. Giganticus, (The giant brown house spider.)

T. Domesticus & T. Gigantus both eat T. Agressus, which is a DAMNED good thing. See, Hobos are evil. They are as big as the giant ones, and all three are hunters, so they track motion. But Hobos are extremely agressive, (as in, T. Agressus,) and nearly blind, so when they see movement, any movement, they're inclined to run at is, since it might be food. It makes them a little on the nasty vicious side. We hate 'em lots.

The giants are spooky, almost baseball sized, but you can tell the two apart because the giants perch high on walls, and Hobos won't go above about 3 feet. (So if you live on a second story you're safe.) I used to have the big beasties track me when I came into a room. There they'd be, an inch from the cieling, size of my own outstretched hand, and stalking me. But they'd never attack. Glad I was too scared of them to muck with 'em though- they probably protected me from the real biters!

Well Fungi- she said bug not insect. Not so specific.
but Eval- !!! I thought you loved spiders! I am crushed.

As far as bug killin' goes, my issues are mostly aphids- cause they eat my flowers, and earwigs, cause- well... EW.
Solved that by raising mantids & ladybugs and releasing them. Tres cool, mantids are.

Alright, so I miswrote. add "and arachnids" up there. It works the same for them as well.

Re: Re: How to kill an insect

Just because I love them, doesn't mean I don't know how to kill them. Up at Port Angeles I deal with the ones that bite....so I quickly learned how to get rid of them.

And yes, I do love them. Raise the Wolfie's in my house, and protect them from all who would kill them.
