sam3009 4 Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 came home after walking the hounds one nite and aproaching the front door, the ridgeback X went berserk. Was like somethig from the ametyville. Spooked the shit out of Me and the wife. THEN WE SAW IT! Above the front door was an 8" Rain spider. neither the wife or the dog would move, so it was clear I had to kill it or remove it. So, I got a broom from the garage, and smacked it with all I had. On inspecting the broom, I realised I'd missed and the fecker was nowhere to be seen. spent the night at my folks house only to find out they can jump upto 15 feet..........scary Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 We all know that on average, most people injest a few spiders a year while sleeping. Extra protein while you're dreaming ... I don't mind spiders. In fact I find them facinating - when they're on the other side of glass or outside Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tis TM 8 Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Hmmm, I have a bit of a love hate thing going on with spiders... I've been bitten by a little light brown stripey one that was inside my rubber glove in the milking parlour years ago, and it felt like a wasp sting, (i always checked my gloves after that)!! And I dont like splatting spiders cos they make a mess.... Usually transferd by means of a glass and a sheet of card.... If they are really big and scary, the hoover works a treat... you can actually feel some of them hitting the sides of the tube! All that said and done, I have a really impressive cartwheel spider in the bottom of my big vase, that I've been feeding flies every now and again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
