Fucking Hobo Spiders!!!
 

Little bastards are attacking in swarms from now until November (it's their mating season). It's because of these little bastards that I now have arachnophobia. Killed three of them running around my apartment yesterday, plus I have bushes outside that HAVE to be filled with webs and egg cases. Thinking about poisoning the bushes with gasoline or something else (suggestions?).

Anyone else get to have the pleasure of dealing with them or brown recluses?

If you live in these states you get to have hobo spider fun: Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming.

If you live these states you get to deal with brown recluses (just as bad): Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida.

Their bites cause necrotic arachnidism

Pfew sounds like fun.

I hate fucking spiders.

damn.... that looks like a bad bite :helpme

ouch

id kill all of them before they even bite me :BangBang:

I just killed a nasty fucker in bathrom sink today. How that big fucker get inside? Now I won't sleep for about a month.

That's one mean looking spider.

I was out in my backyard and noticed a black widow (took some pics, one is at http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/9092865/ ).

It made me paranoid so I've been going out there every day killing every spider i see with 1/5 can of bug spray. It might end up costing me a few bucks, but it's fun to watch those fuckers drown in a pool of chemicals.

I'm just scared that I didn't kill all the widows. I know they're plotting against me, filling egg sacks with more troops. I don't think I could handle it if I walked outside and found a battalion of jet-black creatures waiting to bite me.

I was bit by a spider or spiders quite some time back....I was bit about 3-4 times on my stomach and 3-4 times on my back...I'm assuming while sleeping.

Itched like hell and the bites are still there...not as prominent as before but you can still see them, they have not quite disappeared.

burn the fuckers!

I fucking hate spiders:ak47:

Been bit by a brown recluse, so was a couple of family memebrs. They can range in nastyness, mine wasnt that bad cause it was very tiny and it apparently didnt get me very well. My step mom had to have a couple operations and skin grafts to try and repair a hole in her leg about 6 inches in diameter and an inche or so deep. Go and get some poison that come sin a powder form, I cant remeber the name of it now, and cover the bushes with it, if you have animals or kids this isnt the safest method but definatly the most effective. Just be sure to treat your apartment with somehting inside that is safe so that way the poison outside doesnt drive them in.

Nice, I'll have to get some of that powder. Inside, I'm going to set up glue traps in front of the doors and windows. This seemed to work really well last fall when I had a mass influx on them. At the moment though, I'm defenseless. :(

I think we have both in Washington...and in my house for that matter... fun times..
Had a roomate when I was living on the other side of the state get bit in the face...the sour was nassssty,

Glue Traps? You mean like the ones for mice? I can see where they would work, just never heard of it myself.

Don't mind spiders that much. Hate wasps tho

damn


if you know anyone that can get it for you try to get a chemical called Baygon

might be Baygon 5 anyway you spray a mixture of that and water around windows doors etc and in your basement and pretty soon you will have zero insects in your house.


i wouldnt use it if you are planning to have kids in that home though...lol

Glad I'm in Canada...man those things look nastay

Spiders are cool :thumbsup

They kill all those other nasty insects, that are a lot more dangerous.

I live in Costa Rica too, so we have some of the world's most dangerous Spiders and insects :Graucho

Yeah they are very effective.

I live in Tenn. so Brown Recs are my big issue. Thats the reason I allow big fucking spiders to hang around. Brown recs don't like the company of bigger friends so they keep away or are killed by the bigger ones. :BangBang:

I hate fucking spiders, kill em all

fuckin spiders are nasty

I have a local company come out and spray my house every 3 months. :thumbsup I very rarely see any spiders or bugs in my house.

HEy neighbor, we are in west Tennessee in Millington, spiders are everywhere aorund here.

That name sounds familiar, it may have been Baygon that we used but it was powder. I was a kid then so the name eludes me. Do you know if it comes in powder form also.

I hate few thinsg in life an here they are in order of importance:

1) SPIDERS!!!
2) Paying Taxes.
3) People who wake up before 8am for no reason other than to be awake.
4) Waking up before 10am for any reason.
5) Police.

i like that list :thumbsup

except for #5, i mean why would you hate police... as long as they're not bothering me it's alright

Damn I'd be paranoid too... Glad we don't have that problem.
