The sound of a spider dropping makes me feel sick....

I have never heard a spider dropping. I have seen rabbit droppings and dog and cat droppings. But i must confess that i have never tried to listen in. And i agree with Judy, i dont think i could even hear a spider dropping.

I find it hard to believe you can hear them hitting the floor or anything else. You must have much more acute hearing than I have.

In my place also there is spider, but I think it is too little to make a sound when it falls. Even, I never hear its sound when fall from the wall. Is spider in your place too big?

I share your hatred of spiders but I have never heard them fall.

I was imagining the big spiders there ... they would have enough weight to make a sound hitting the floor. Like you, it would affect me as I don't like spiders either ... like you I don't want to kill them either. Gracious, I can understand.

Hmm. I am not sure if you are weird or not. But I sure have never heard of anyone becoming ill from the sound of a dropping spider. As for spiders in general, I enjoy smashing them. They are fine if they are outside. But if they enter my house their lives are finished.

I am not too afraid of the spiders we can find at home, as they are mostly quite tiny, so I can't hear any sound of them dropping as well. I can't imagine how the sound is like, but I certainly do not think you are weird. Some people are just more sensitive to some kind of sound.

Here it is rare to see the spider, especially the big one. Perhaps the city is not suitable for the spiders to live. I ever saw a big one in the countryside and it was terrible.

Oh yes! Like a Huntsman or a Wolf Spider or something bigger even? I've heard it before, but rarely. Like you I always catch them & put them out. I've become quite good at it! I minimize unfriendly spiders by keeping lots of Daddy Long Legs around! A few months ago... ready for spider stories? .... a few months ago, I spotted a large female redback with eggs on the outside door, in the corner. She had knitted a great big "ball & chain" style web, purpose - built for catching very large animals (snakes, lizards, etc) & killing them with one bite, eating the whole carcass themselves. You can see a Youtube video of this which aired on the evening news. Anyway, our State Government made a law many years ago that we Must kill them on sight. I flat out refused to do this & besides, there was no way anyone could get in a clear shot with anything. I kept an eye on the situation each day (tricky to avoid!). One morning, after weeding the garden (any of my neighbours'd be surprised to read this, but yes, I do weed it!), I walked up to the door & saw a heavily pregnant Huntress go right into the strongest, stickiest web on earth & gobble the redback up in one gulp! I was very grateful, but later jammed her leg in the door accidentally (didn't see her hiding), breaking it off & watching fluoro blue goo ooze out.

I've never understood people being scared of spiders. But then I don't live in Australia. If I did, I would probably understand.

Oh friend, your senses are high . Guess u might be bitten by a spider without your knowledge as you are even able to hear the sound when a spider lands on the floor etc. Lol Spider-woman hihi jk :)

I am really glad that we don't have big spiders. Here they are really small but still I don't like them.

....how big are these spiders that you can hear them when they fall? I don't like spiders but thankfully I don't see too many. I have accidentally stepped on a grasshopper and I can still hear and feel the crunch it made under my shoe, eeegghhh I still get the heebie jeebies thinking about it.
