whats with all the f*%#ing spiders???

There have been like 10 big ugly spider sightings in my house in like 2 days! I dunno what the hell is going on, I sure hope its not a nest.

Here's the most recent trespasser. First one Ive seen like this, and right on my front door.

Now, off to go eliminate him...

I'm lucky, we've only killed two teeny ones in our house, and that's in the last YEAR.

The yard on the other hand..

its got like herpies on its back! i think its just the time of year, because whenever this time comes, they start popping out about know, you should see my house, we have those zeebra ones everywhere, they freak the shit outta me

Hey, at least it;s not a camel spider :lol:

spiders are sick :( there were 2 crawling on the ceiling this mornin'

its got like herpies on its back!..

Those are babies.

Yeah........Thanks for posting those pics. I'm going to have nightmares now!! :uhoh:

I have three spider bites on my legs...

No kidding about the spiders! I have three spider bites on my stomach, arm and hand. I'm a little freaked out because I woke up yesterday morning with them...which means the little bastards are in my bedroom somewhere...
Looking at those pics is not going to help me sleep at all.

Spiders are the only animal on the planet that gives me the 'heebie-jeebies' :shudder:

Pfft.

Got Raid?

we don't have much problem with spiders here, but the ticks are everywhere. we've picked a million off my dog already, and its barely summer so far. most people attribute it to the rain though....we got about 7 inches last weekend :grinno:

BAH!
Spiders, no biggie...post the Camel Spiders!!! Those were awesome!!!

Not sure, but I went on a mountainbike ride on some trails that haven'st seen a lot of use lately, and in the process ate more than my share of spiderwebs.

I did find a black widow in my house 3 days ago. There have been a lot of them in this area lately, so I have to be especially vigilant around my kids.

Raz, you rock!!!

I tried to google image search them but I only found a few and none showed them being that big!!!

Yeech, I'm with you YogsVR4, I hate spiders. :eek:

I first heard of camel spiders when that infamous photo of our troops in Iraq holding two supposably camel spiders attached to each other. the pic was posted on the internet earlier this year. At first I freaked out, not knowing if was a fake, but eventually the truth came out that they do not grow THAT big.

pic and full text at snoops.com (http://www.snopes.com/photos/bugs/camelspider.asp)(be forewarned, although the pic is fake, its still gives you the creeps if you do not like spiders.)

o man i hate spiders period, and camel spiders ust plain freak me out! i've heard that in sand they can run faster than people, and some poeple have shot at them(and i dont blame em' i would too) oooo *shivvers*

spiders are nasty.

gimmie a can or deodarant and a lighter and what them BURN.


Burn burn yes your going to burn

Well you can try searching for the Wind Spider, which is the same as the camel spider. The myth about it jumping 4 feet in the air or whatever, they're all fake. Now this is one deadly ass spider...feel sorry for the people in Sydney

Sheez, that is one nasty looking spider, makes the camel one look tame.
hmmm Looks like the one in the picture attacking is a female. Why is it that almost every female insect has a bigger bottom.

I'll tell you one thing, ifsee a something like that in that sort of stance, I don't know what I'll do. yeech.

Werid thing is that it's deadly when a human gets bitten but not so much when a dog :screwy:

spiders are cool, roaches on the other hand...

Lets not go there, I think anything with more than 4 legs is creepy. They say NYC is the rat capitol of the world, but I really think the title goes to roaches. Wheres that Raid can.

The bad thing is if you do see one roach, you know you are infested. I hear that one egg can have as many as 25 or more. Its hard keeping up getting rid of them.

What happened to lets not go there!!! :disappoin :biggrin:

we got alot of spiders up here in New Jersey but the worst is the Black Marcuse spider, which can be serious when bitten by one. :uhoh:

I squashed a small lil spider at work while reading this thread :icon16:.

we have recluse spiders here in utah i think

we have recluse spiders here in utah i think

the brown recluse and the black widow are the only two spiders we have to worry about here in the states.

Yup yup 'n in some places none at all!!! In the US that is. I've seen 2 black widows...

we have recluse spiders here in utah i think

We have a LOT more black widows where I'm at. Killed over 30!

WTF in Utah are you??
edit: nm I read the profile.

Yea, I sometimes get black widows in my back yard. Doesn't concern me tho...I just kill'em.

i never get black widows in park city, people thought that it coudn't happen, but i remeber seeing like one, but thats it, in cali there were tons of them in a shed that we had.

btw: anyone seen the movie aracnaphobia, think i spelled it wrong, but dam that movie freaked the giggle's outta me when i was younger

Hey Carsuperfreak

Me saying "lets not go there" is my way of saying you guys are right, if spiders are bad and creepy, roaches are worse in my opinion. :22yikes:

Speaking of which, the times I went to Miami, Florida I encountered the Palmetto bug, man is that thing scary, the biggest roach looking thing that flies. Its amazing how many types of spiders and roaches there are. Sheez, I'm grossing my self out already.

TS out

BA HA HA HA...I ain't scared of spiders, i'm more afraid of them caterpillars, now those are weird :screwy:

When I lived in CO. some friends of ours had a huge black widow they kept in a fish tank. The used to "pet" it and such. I wanted to "pet" it with a rock...

I wanted to "pet" it with a rock:lol: Too funny

Damn!......is that a hose it's on?

that's what it looks like

roaches arent that bad...my friend has a hissing cockroach as a pet, its kinda funny he keeps tickling his belly and the thing starts hissing, yeah and i dont really like spiders either, i cant tell if he is poisonous or not, so i try to not get bitten...

Best thing about spiders is...throughout your entire life you are never more than 3-5 feet away from one.....(I know a lot of people will probably be looking under the computer desk..since they like dark and cool places) :D

there are only two to look out for, and they are both medium sized.
the black widow we all know has a red/orange hourglass shaped patch on the bottom side of its abdomen(stomach).
the brown recluse has a violin shaped patch on the top of its abdomen (back).
just to throw this in there: the daddy long-leg spider is not a spider, and it is not poisonous to us. its just a myth that "its mouth is too small to bite, but it is the most poisonous spider".

yup, that are the most deadly spider in Australia alright, and as far as I know, the world.

We have everything bad here, the most deadly snake, the most deadly spider etc. If you get bitten by the funnel web, you have like 1 hour to get to a hospital, or you die. Maybe it's less than 1 hour, not sure.

I haven't actually seen one my self, and I don't plan on it either!

A friend of mine had one living in his house, I went to check it out, I saw it, but I don't think it was a funnel web.
They're the most famous spider, yet in the past 10 years the hasn't been 1 fatal accident resulting from a spider bite.
They live in the bush, rarly spin webs, if they do, they're a funnel web (hence the name).
But sometimes, if you live near the bush, they can actually some inside your home and they find them selfs to dark, moist area's like under the sink, even your shoe.

yea its like 45 mins...damn you aussies got it bad :grinno:

IN the US we have a very deadly spider of our own, the Brown Recluse Spider.

This is what a bite looks like after the venom has taken its tolls. (is it ok if i posted this)

That is the most disturbing, aweful, sick, tiwsted avatar ever!
Oh and nice pics :thumbsup:

see thats why i hate spiders instead of roaches, look can roaches do that?

Looks like effects of flesh eating disease but yeah, my uncle got bit by one and he didn't notice it for a few days till like a large portion of his leg was black...

This is sooo coool

jk (its quite disturbing actually)

hm.....i dunno, that doesn't really look real to me; why would someone let the bite sit there for 10 days without treating it?

Amish kid said..throughout your entire life you are never more than 3-5 feet away from one

Which brings us to the next question, how do they get there in the first place. I do believe my family and me try to keep the place as clean as possible, but every once in a while you see them, in a corner, under a desk. Things that make you go hmmm.

They crawl there. :)

yup, that are the most deadly spider in Australia alright, and as far as I know, the world.

We have everything bad here, the most deadly snake, the most deadly spider etc. If you get bitten by the funnel web, you have like 1 hour to get to a hospital, or you die. Maybe it's less than 1 hour, not sure.

That and they are very fast and aggressive unlike the Black Widow, which isn’t very aggressive, and butt ass slow once it isn't in its web. Also, the Australian Sea Snake, there is no anti venom for that right? You get bit, and you die.

Anyhow, I find spiders in my house all the time. I don't know what kind most of them are but I have my names for them. The ones I do know are yellow sacs, wolf spiders, black widows, and the good old daddy long legs. We also have the ones with white specs on their backs and they move around like they're on crack so I call them the raver spider and there is another one that is red and very slow, looks like a crab. I have also found a lot that look like brown recluse spiders. They're probably just house spiders but I kill them just to be sure. I would hate to be bitten by a hobo or recluse. One other I found that baffles me was a huge gray spider. I was out in the garage and saw what looked like a wadded up piece of paper on the ground. I went to pick it up and it sprung to life. It was a damn spider; sort of n ash gray in color, and huge with legs and all it had to be a good 4" in diameter and its body was good sized as well. Pretty fast to as it ran out side before I could stomp on it. I'm still trying to figure what kind of spider it was.

...they move around like they're on crack so I call them the raver spider...

:sunglasse

Raz, that was just sick...I'm at work and almost got caught with that...here comes lunch......been bit by three black widows. I'm now officially immune. The local hospital here takes my blood to use as anti-venom. I also wanna become immune to Cobras...You get paid for your anti-venom blood then.

hm.....i dunno, that doesn't really look real to me; why would someone let the bite sit there for 10 days without treating it?

There's actually no official and effective vaccination or anti-biotic for the recluse spider venom. S if you get bit, you have to live with it. :uhoh:

wow

so it doesnt kill you? it just does that to you??




not that having to endure that looks mych better
