Spider Prevention Remedies Anyone ?

[Jeff '79]

It seems we have large hairy spiders invading our house lately.
Besides fire and crushing them, does anyone have an eradication method ??

It'll probably take a professional pest control company to see any immediate results. Even then, you'll still find spiders in your home, but they'll likely be dead. Are you sure that the "hair" on the spiders isn't hundreds of babies like on Wolf Spiders?

She's freaking out looking on the puter now

I told her to just keep a stompin'

I actually did see her do the stomp and the spider actually jumped. These bad boys are a formidable foe.

KK & Glen..... Two of the best duelers to take the stage.



Can't let a bad thread go to waste.

Tell her those are the: mutated, venom-spitting, crawl-in-your-mouth-when-you're-asleep spiders.

See how well she sleeps tonight.

Yaaaa, NO

I heard hedge apples keep them out.

It's autumn upstate. Your house is nice and warm and the spiders are going "f*ck, it's chilly out here, I'm moving into this guy's bathroom."

They've been eating flies and mossies for you all summer. Least you could do is let them live out the rest of their short, difficult lives in warmth, you big sally.

No really, kill 'em all. Hate the f*ckin' things.

They are part of the arachnid family which means they have exoskeletons.

Sprinkle borax around all the areas they are. The fine dust will grind their joints aparts and they will succumb ( works great on fleas too )

Hmmm.

Early fall out here activates all our spiders. To spiders, our house suddenly resembles the European Union throwing out the red carpet to muzzies! Here they come! Tiny terrorists turning up everywhere and turning a quiet evening into an adrenalin-pumping killing spree....

I'm constantly getting the Arachnid Cardio Workout every time I walk through their damned webs! They are such jerks!

I forgot to mention that they are also the ones with the extra long, serrated fangs and that can jump across the room!
...oh yeah, and make that clicking sound when they are coming for ya.


What you aught to do; is just go ahead and play a copy of Arachnophobia for her.

[StaticCling]

Take off, Nuke from orbit. Only way to be sure.

[FRISKY]

Sticky traps and Black Flag 'spider killer' spray around the doors and anywhere else the spiders get into the house.

Keep your pets and small children away from from the sticky traps...

[stingraymyway]

Can't believe I watched the video and the spider didn't die by fire.

Face full of webs immediately turns into "king fu fight against invisible opponent". And your nosy neighbor is always strategically placed to see it all.
