Fucking Cane Spiders
 

nothin' like going into the bathroom and seeing a 5 inch cane spider staring back at you....


time to call the bug man again.

pics?

Man I got the willy's looking at that fucker

believe me when I say, I cut that piss extremely short....

I would have to move. Scorpions I can deal with, spiders, not at all.

took no less than a half a can of Raid to kill that bastard

are those things poisonous? or just friggin scarry looking?

Lysol and a lighter...a fine way to while away a lazy Monday afternoon.

not poisonous.... just fuckin' horrible looking, fast as hell, and aggressive. They WILL chase you.... but they're not poisonous.

I had a dinner plate sized tarantula on my back patio one night last summer and the fucker wouldn't move no matter what -- I was throwing rocks at him and he just stood his ground.

So I had to get the Raid and then I felt really bad after he was nailed, especially when I read that no one has ever died from a tarantula bite around here.

It just totally freaked me out -- I don't do spiders, I cannot stand them, they scare the crap out of me... oddly enough scorps are their cousins, arachnid family tree, but they just fascinate me and don't particularly scare me... of course I know how to catch them and how to keep from getting stung as long as you see them before they attack...

spiders just creep me out terribly.

at least it wasn't a fucking centipede again...

I hear ya... I ain't too crazy about 'em either... but I think I hate roaches the most... roaches just make me fuckin' wretch....

centipedes too. Centipede has to be at the top of the 'World's Most Fucked Critters' list.... fuckin' nauseating and not to be fucked with all at the same time.

I had one of those fuckers in my house in Grand Cayman. We called them banana jumping spiders. I swear they can jump 10 feet straight at your head. Anyways I smashed one on the wall and about 100 little spiders came out of it. It was a female carring a egg sac. Little bastards were in my house for months. Once you get used to them they are ok.

You know if you want to take out a bug just whack it. Bug sprays are sadistic. I hate killing bugs, even spiders. Just sccop them up and dump them outside. They serve a purpose in the cycle of things and usually aren't bothering anyone.

shit... when it's in my bathroom it's bothering me. At that point, fuck the cycle of things.... the only cycle it's gonna see is the end of it's life cycle.

I totally agree. The only reason I whacked that one is because the woman was having a fit. She wouldn't do my laundry unless I killed it.

I can totally deal with snakes and scorpions and stuff like that... I've had scorpions, snakes, etc as pets before... I got no problem with them...

but bugs like roaches, centipedes, and spiders and shit.... nope. That's where the fucking line is. If I hadn't found the Raid, I would've sealed off the bathroom and bricked up the fucking door for good.

aim at the spider

I am with you on this one too -- I was in St Maarten a couple months ago and they have poisonous ones down there. Not a pleasant thought at all.

Aren't scorpions way more dangerous than spiders?
I've never seen one, but I thought a scorpion's sting can kill a person.

some of them.... not all scorpions are deadly. Here, I'm more cautious of the pedes than the scorpions.

:uhoh I would be headed for the hills..... crying like a baby if I found that in my bathroom.

:winkwink: :thumbsup

damn monster

Fuck that circle of life shit when it comes to spiders...LOL

I see one, it dies..end of story :)

When we were still living in Hell, there was a nest of black widow spiders under the house...a nest of brown recluse spiders near the air conditioning unit...and, fire ants everywhere you looked...and snakes....and other nasty biting things....

Now...i can walk on the grass barefoot...my dogs don't have ticks which invariably find their way into my hair....and no snakes this side of the mountains...life is good..

By the way, Amp..that is one UG-LEE spider....

But..how exactly does one cut a piss short? :)

well, the exterminator just explained to me that cane spiders are 'Contact Only'.... meaning, if they see one when they're here, they can blast it.... but residual treatments won't stop them....



this is NOT what I wanted to hear.

what usually eats cane spiders?

i don't know, but when I find out, I'm getting three of them.

Does a Cane Spider bite hurt at all?

i really don't ever want to be able to answer that...

Not where I live... we have around 40 different types and none of them are deadly to the average healthy adult who is not allergic to them.

The worst of the lot is the bark scorpion, but the same statement applies.

Other places have way more vicious and venomous species...

my son got stung a couple years ago and was fine about 5 minutes later... my nanny got stung last year, and being from Mexico, she thought it was the mark of the devil coming after her...

go figure.

I don't know man.... the one I had here was more black all over than that one... but otherwise the same. Anything that can take a steady stream of Raid Wasp Killer till half the can is gone, has my full respect. I wasn't about to study the fucker, I just wanted it dead.

i got the creeps just reading this thread


while i dont hate them as much as spiders...the big ass silverfish that have the big furry legs are freaky as hell

When I was living in Tucson we went down to the pool at night (townhouse complex) in bare feet. We came back, and found out that it was the one night in the previous five years that the male tarantulas decided to come down from the mountains to find mates. They were EVERYWHERE and it was fricken dark! The next day we found a baby (about 3" long) inside the house, even though we hadn't left any doors open. There was one crawling up the patio wall that was about 6" across, but it just left after a while. We kept the baby in a little terrarium and fed it crickets, but it only lived for a few months before it died.

The people in the area said they had never seen it before. It was like a big spider every few feet on black pavement, like that movie Kingdom of the Spiders. We didn't kill any, though.

don't cane spiders jump at any threats? the raid must have paralyzed it or something. i could have sworn those cane spiders are jumpers.

fuck yeah... he was jumpin' and runnin' like fuckin' hell man.... but I wasn't about to stop.

sounds like he was more scared of you than you were of him. :winkwink:

Yep. Same here.

OK for all you spider killers that can't at least nail them fast and quick and got to watch them writhe a slow agonizing death with Raid take this little creepy crawler to dreamland tonight!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh MooHaaHaa

For fuck's sake, I'm gonna have NIGHTMARES about that shit now!!!:BangBang:

*shudders*:helpme

I love spiders. I used to have 5 rosiette tarantulas and I loved them all :( I miss my babies!

:eek7

If it 'aint gonna kill you there's no reason to freak about it.

well, he might not kill me, but that don't mean I want the bastard crawlin' on me when I'm sleepin' either....

They can be quite friendly once you have em around for a while.. They get to know you and trust you and whatnot.. Sort of like madagascar hissing cockroaches, but a bit smarter. They're quite beautiful creatures :) I liked them almost as much as my 9 foot ball python, Oskar.

You realize that no matter WHERE you are in the world, you are never more than 5 feet from a spider at any given time.. Even in your house.

the python = cool (I used to have snakes myself)

spiders & roaches = not cool.

in the past, any spider would have gotten the bottom side of a boot. But now, I'm barefoot 24/7 so they get the working end of a Raid can instead.

My kind of girl! :thumbsup
