Posted: 4/18/2007 5:19:31 AM | Gypsy made a deal with a spider
If it didn’t come down beside her
But despite the pact
She had to act
Coz apparently she thought it desired her | |

Posted: 4/18/2007 5:30:42 AM | Gypsy couldnt go ahead with the kill
Because she felt like such a dill
to think a spider would have cared
he was wondering who was more scared
To see her in all her glory
is now a totally different story | |

Posted: 4/18/2007 6:41:42 AM | I just can't keep away from this thread...even though there are no Aussie spiders,that I know of,lurking in my English home... I still have had to do a few checks now and then just to be sure,a few Uk spiders, but they're small in comparison to yours... I think ...quick close off all the airports and docks   | |

Posted: 4/18/2007 4:26:01 PM | I'm sort of with caves and 1800 here,
Not sure if it'd be a nice experience to be going to the toot in the middle of the night and being confronted by a giant toad eating spider.
It could lead to going to the toot prematurely | |

Posted: 4/18/2007 11:06:06 PM | Imagine the size of the spider thats going to be able to tackle and eat a whopping great cane toad..........they would have to be huge!!!
Suddenly im not minding Mr Toad so much if cat sized spiders are the alternative!! | |

Posted: 4/19/2007 5:36:11 AM | | Im afraid I use my friend Baygon, I am petrified of spiders esp those scary looking huntsmen. My crazy mother actually found a funnel web in her bathroom and caught it in a jar, then deciding she wanted to keep that jar transferred it to a different jar. | |

Posted: 4/20/2007 3:18:21 AM | ^^^ I've seen a giant green tree frog do exactly the same! It didn't move or hop away. It just sat there with the tail wiggling around hanging out of it's mouth. I went and got my son to witness it just in case he didn't believe me.
Thank god they don't grow 6 ft high. | |

drop a takeway container on top of it, and slide a piece of paper underneath it. Its heaps easier than a jar.
I still have one problem with that! My hands are still too close to the spider. I'm a wuss when it comes to spiders and yes, as soon as I started reading this thread, I was instantly looking around the room.
The ex used to pick them up and take them outside but I just can't do it - so yes, I'm a fan of Mr Mortein. | |

Posted: 5/2/2007 8:42:55 PM | | Around here at the moment it's a sad season for the huntsman spiders. Many of the bigger ones seem to die off around now, and I find them on their last legs (all 8 of them) around the place. It's the only time of year I will kill them, just to put them out of their misery. And I see the juveniles darting around...knowing they will be the big hairy things that return to scare the be-jeebers out of me next Summer. Not sure where they go in Winter but I never see any of them during the cold months. | |

Posted: 5/3/2007 4:28:19 AM | Never had the pest control guy here ever! Not after seeing The Naked Lunch! Never seen a c0ckroach either. But as for the spiders...well they dont bother me and I don't bother them...much. I have various methods, but nothing works like mortein. If I see one unlucky enough to be a black in colour and looking suspiciously venemous, I like to throw caution to the wind and just step on it. If it rolls up into a big enough ball and there's a doorway nearby... it's conversion time!  | |

Posted: 5/3/2007 6:14:28 AM | When my kids was little, they were afraid of spiders. We used to have one of those black house spiders in the corner of the kitchen window. I figured I should show them there's nothing to be frightened of and have a little fun while we were at it.
Anyway, the trick is to catch a fly and throw it against the fridge. This stuns the fly long enough for you to flick it into the spiders web. Before long the fly begins to come around and realising he's tangled, starts to struggle. Of course, this alerts the spider who comes tearing out of his hole ready for lunch. The kids stood on the kitchen table squealing and marveling at the impromptu demonstration of the natural food chain . . and their father's uncanny Richard Attenborough like talents.
So years later, just the other day I found this very colorful (dead) butterfly and thought I'd glue it to the top of my daughters bedroom mirror . . she'd like that sort of thing, I figured.
Upon first gaze at my little surprise, she ordered me to take it outside as she was afraid of butterflies . . moths, too.
She's OK with spiders, though.  | |

Posted: 5/3/2007 12:25:48 PM | | Ahrr no they don't...they make an air bubble/membrane..and a can of spray is only good if you spray the spider. a spider is not an insect so spraying a surface is pointless cause 1) spiders don't clean themselfs like insects and to the hairs on a spider don't pick up the dry chemical and 3) if you watch a spider most walk on the tips of there legs... i should know i did pest control for 14 yrs | |

Posted: 5/3/2007 7:31:30 PM | | Grizzly...I have a spider question for you. Based on what you've said there, is it possible to spray my home without killing my huntsmen spiders? If I did it during winter when they are all AWOL for example, are you saying they could come back in spring and be quite OK?? (Also, if you happen to know where they go during winter, I'd be curious to know that as well. Do they all die like many I see, are they likely to be hiding around the house but in places Iwon't find them, or do they physically relocate elsewhere?) | |

Posted: 5/3/2007 8:20:25 PM | You could always try chasing the little sods with a hair dryer...the spider doesn't get hurt as it runs away once the air is too hot for it to comfortably remain.
Just make sure you have an extension lead attached that wil reach everywhere.
Spiders can also be trained to walk forwards and backwards on command...
But if you pull all their legs off they go deaf | |
