Don't stall like you're waiting to hunt some, go your way already!
Hello Lotters,
I don't mind little ones running around the washroom but the "not so" big ones they freak me out. just so one tonight, last time I hit one but took more than 200 pellet bullets because I was a lousy shooter
.
Big spiders said not to be poisonous, but the one and half an inch and a house spiders In our house are. I got it once but it moved too fast i couldn't hit it right. Sorry, but I can't tolerate Spiders, they freak me out. this isn't like spiders that childrens played with and put it inside the match box, probably a bit bigger.
Just wished I bought Baygon when I had a chance!

Oo spiders are not a great and welcome guest in my house. We need to find a way to build a net to trap the spiders and have some super cool and small plant that can eat them up and leave no mess.

i don't think there are poisonous spiders in the city. although they can sting us when we get bitten by some small spiders. i had one painful experience with strange looking spider a very small one with color green on the skin. very small i didn't think it will bite me. but it was painful when indeed.

Since from young i don't like spiders, especially the big ones. Although the spiders in my areas mostly are not poisonous, but i just really not excited to meet any of them. Now, i don't really like spiders too, although i had grown-up because they makes my home messy and dirty. They always built their web everywhere especially on the ceiling or wall areas of my home. Whenever i sees any of them, i will chase them away with a broom. Or even spray aerosol to them, to make them faint and throw them away.

Sometimes, we don't have much time to go further place to grab the spray. Because they will tends to escape and hide themselves. So, i tends to grab the nearest possible thing especially the broom, to chase the spider out from my home...But, i must agreed using spray is the most easiest way to do.

I think that it is cruel to kill spiders just because you are scared of them. What we must remember is that we are much more deadly to spiders than they are to us. We hold the power to end their life which gives them a legitimate reason to be scared of us. We should not be scared of them. Same goes for snakes. There are lots of poisonous spiders and venomous snakes here in Australia, but that does not mean we should kill them.
Check out photo below of the spider that I found yesterday. It was almost as big as my hand. Not the biggest one I have seen but close to it!

Of course we humans are much more deadly to spiders than they are to us. How many humans get killed by spiders daily? Not many! But how many spiders die at the hands of humans on a daily basis. Millions probably! We are the deadliest animals on earth. We have killed more animals than any other animal ever has!

Hey!
I hate spiders too! In my opinion it is one of the scariest animals in the world.
I don't care about the little spiders who running around the house, but the big ones are really scarry!
I saw once in a trip a spider which was bigger than my hand and it was really really scary!
Any way, I hope I won't have to see a spider that big anymore but you can never know when you will see them.
Have a great day without spiders and other bugs :)

Hi Letran, here where I live I rarely see a poisonous spider and the biggest I have seen is the wolf spider that I have only seen maybe 2-3 in the 25 years I lived here. The biggest problem we have inside are daddy long legs and some smaller spiders I have no idea what they are..
I also hate spiders, and found that by using a cleaner, )That is everything from furniture polish, window cleaner, to disinfectant, I either buy one that smells like citrus or I add essential citrus oil to the cleaner and this has cut down on how many spiders I see..
Maybe these poisonous ones don't like citrus either. You could give it a try....

Ants, if I remember correctly, are repelled by mint...And yes, cleaning will disrupt most insects to the point of leaving..

I don't mind the daddy long legs ones but beyond that ICK! I have quite a few in my basement. I don't know what they are called but they build this lil cave next to their web to hide in and no bigger than a nickel. But still plenty big enough. My girls have also been bitten possibly by a spider a few times as well because it would look like a pimple but a big red ring around it til you got the ick out of it which was brought on by an antibiotic from the Dr to clear it up. No fun at all! So when I can I take my shoe off and kill the ones I described, as I don't know if those were the culprit or not but more than a couple is enough to make my skin crawl.

If not for the spiders, your house would be overrun with bugs. You should be grateful for them! When I lived in Florida, a very tropical climate teeming with bugs, I welcomed spiders into my house and was nearly bug-free. I don't need them where I am now so if I find any, I catch them in a glass and put them outside. Spiders are our friends!

I can't stand spiders and I don't care what size they are! I don't have a phobia, though, this fear is REAL!
I was bitten by a poisonous spider when I was 19. Not only that, I was allergic to it! I developed blood poisoning and my temperature went up to almost 105 (when 98.6 is normal). When the red streak was halway up my arm (I was bitten on the wrist) I went to the hospital where they gave me a tetanus shot. I was allergic to THAT!!! I almost passed out right outside the hospital and my fever kept going up. I couldn't even stand up after a little while, my joints were so stiff and hurting. So, back to the hospital I went (was carried). They called in a specialist, gave me an injection of something (can't remember what it was) and I finally started to get better. It took an entire week before I was back to normal, though.
So, my fear of spiders is very real. I'll kill any spider that comes my way unless it's really big. Then, I get someone else to kill it for me.

Luckily there aren't poisonous spiders where I live,but I still dislike them,and when I see a big one I am filled with disgust.Of all the creatures on Earth,spiders are the ones I hate the most.I can only imagine what it's like to live in a tropical country and see a huge spider in your house;it would be like a nightmare turned into reality!

I also hate big spiders even knowing that the most dangerous spiders are not them, but the little ones. I always run when I saw one big spider, I never had the courage to kill one and I think that, probably, I never will.

Hello moneywinner,
Just avoid them, i don't think they are mutated for some reason. most little ones here aren't really that dangerous unless you mess with them though.

I don't really mind the small spiders. The small ones, I can deal with. It's really the big spiders that I really don't like. I really, really hate the big spiders. I'm not entirely sure why I don't like the big spiders. All I know is that I don't like the big spiders.

Hello Jaiho,
Oh,
I know those kind of spiders, I think they are no threat compare to the ones I saw that night. I swear i hate those huge spiders. I can deal with cockroach but a spider? If I miss something that spider might strike back and poisoned me if i don't hit it from a distance.

Yikes, I hate spiders too, tiny ones are one thing but big ones and poisonous ones are a whole other matter! I'm told we have black widow spiders in this area, I am not sure what they look like though... My friend who lives less than a mile away said he's seen 3 of them in his house and that there are several types of poisonous spiders here. I was just thinking I need to look them up so I know which ones to watch out for, but I am scared to go looking up a bunch of spider pics. Eeek!

there are only two possible things when that arachnid (spiders) bite you:
You will turn into a hero Spider man, or you will turn into a mutant Spider freak monster, nyahahahaha
it's only a joke....
it's because their hairy looks and the so very fat in-house big but thin legged freak spiders is my most phobia triggers.....
i already have two insect sprayer besides me, i bring and carry it every time i sleep because i know, the spiders always taking advantage when we are having a deep sleep.
