Today, I faced my severe phobia of spiders in order to remove a rather large one from my home. After 20 minutes of desperate struggling, it was finally taken care of. Relieved, I sat down and glanced across the hallway just in time to see a second, equally large spider strutting across the wall. FML

I usually handle smaller spiders okay unless they surprise me, but these guys were big. This happened at about 1 am last night and my housemate was asleep, so a vacuum was not an option. I did use big spray. In fact, I nailed the first one three times and it shrugged it off like a BAMF (it was a Texan spider, after all). I actually already have a cat - two, in fact. They were very interested in the spiders, but I didn't want them to get bitten, so I didn't let them get close enough to attack. I finally got the first one in a cup with a lid and filled that sucker up with the bug spray. That worked! Then I saw the second one and about died, myself. It ended up under a cup eventually, too, and met Mr. Shoe. Thanks for the suggestions, though - they made me laugh!

I'm not a violet person till I see a spider. Then I turn into Al Capone. "I want him dead, I want his family dead, and I want his house burned to the ground!"

I'll never understand why people just don't kill the things. Get a shoe and smack that bitch. Problem solved. I guess some people don't for moral reason? Are spiders a big issues over seas? Cause here in Australia they are, so its either kill the things or live with them.

I hate to tell you this but your house probably has lots of spiders in it.
