and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

Check this out - came home tonight to see two new house mates!!!Been meaning to fill that gab in for a while but its probably cruel to now :cool:

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

I love spiders but my housemate would have a fit if he saw them. I make a habit of throwing the spiders I find at him.

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

They can get really big cant they ?
i remember once searching for something that was big enough to put over one yet light enough to pick up once i had slid some paper underneath it ( and something that wouldnt break lol once i threw it outisde)

we have a corner like that behind our sofa - and they climb behind the cushions then just when your bogg-eyed watchin tv you see a shadow movin by your head - and then you let out that really stupid scream that you couldnt do again if you tried :D

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

Blimey, they're a couple of big 'uns. :eek:

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

I just pick em up with my hands. Easier to move around that way.

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

ewww - its not the spiders that fr5ighten me its that they make me jump when they suddenly set off- my god daughter was petrified by one of these once - it kept jumping towards her - you can imagine the scene the girl her mum and me all letting out those horrific involuntary screams as we tried to catch it - oh dear i think i need help :D

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

I don't know what it is about spiders that I hate, but I do!
Scream, freeze, run a mile
Until the kids are near 1!
Then I'm ok and it's not like I'm frightened of them anymore
Quite wierd really

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

Although not at the same time:D

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

there a bit hard to catch there on that corner (ive tried, the blighters are just too darned quick!)

Think one is a female and one is a male cos they're both differnt colours (although thats the limit of my spider knowledge)

Dont normally mind them, the other half hates them, but as long as they keep out of the way and eat all the nasties that may get in the beams or behind the walls then they can stay there for me (as long as the Mrs doesnt see them, then they get hoovered up!)

Just thought id share that - never seen two huge ones together!!

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

I dont mind spiders - I usually pick them up and throw them out - slugs are worse *shudder*

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

like silverfish...

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

we have a spider living in our house i havnt seen him lately just wondering if the dog has eaten him.

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

I had a beauty living under my sink last year, she was massive and I named her Aragog. Unfortunately, I accidentally sucked her up the dyson when she was out for a stroll..:( I miss Aragog, she kept lots of other nasties at bay (she must have done..... you don't get that big without eating)..

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

ah i love 'ickle piders', they have never bothered me, Reece or i usually just leave them alone afterall they are doing no harm....i know a certain male accywebber who is absolutely petrified of them (snigger snigger)

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

eww they are huge, have you found a web yet ? it must be huge, or do they not make webs when they are that big, should be quick enough to catch anything in passing hehe, i dont mind small spiders but not big ones, think its because my little brother had a tarantula as a kid i swear this spider was as big as my hand that was enough to spook me

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

Don't know what it is but I can't stand the little blitters, my Dad was the same, and my eldest Daughter takes after me. Last year I had a little poblem with ants, got one of those electrical gadgets, got rid of the ants and haven't seen a spider either, money well spent

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

I have seen them on the bid channels, just didnt know if they actually did what they said. have they got rid of all insects and are they any good if you have pets (dog + fish)

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

We uncovered the mother of all "house" spiders a few years ago taking down an old shed - it must have been older than the shed, it was a freak of nature. My Grandad, bless him, just picked it up without any fear whatsoever and tossed it into the nearby flower bed. Meanwhile, every other member of the house was halfway down the road...

These ones dont seem to have made a web - there is a kinda entrance web (which is what they're sat on) but nothing else. The one on the left is the only one that 'lives' in there - the other one must have popped round for a brew!

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

just get one of those humane catchers so that you can release them when you catch them

oh you could end up with a few hundred baby spiders in there, i think your mrs will be packed and gone if she wakes up to see a wall full of them lol, keep your eye out for a nest of eggs, unless you dont mind them

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

That had occured to me - spiders not being the most social of animals (especially with each other!) I thought I might try to catch it and then give it a good vacuuming (then im going to fill that gap in!)

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

Like Jaysay I have got a plug in repeller.
It works against rodents and crawling insects.
Does no harm to cats and dogs but will give your hamster a nervous breakdown

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

Thanks Margaret saves me rabbiting on, but they do work don't they

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

Before you evict them could you please pass on the sad news that their second cousin Horace died early this morning in a freak cardboard/catalogue recycling incident! :D

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

No problems - im delivering one piece of bad news so might as well deliver 2! You have no idea how hard it is writing an eviction notice under a microscope...

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

oh god them spiders are just like the ones I had in my old house!!
my son was only a baby and was lying on his mat playing , when suddenley one of those hugh things came running out from the side of the couch and running towards him:eek:, the only thing to do was to squash it:(, ......oohhh it was horrible, white gunk was oozing out...ewwwww....lol...funny thing where 10 minutes later another came out, but i mangaged to get rid of that by putting in the garden;)

my daughter is petrified of them, she just panicks and goes into a cold sweat, one time she nearly fainted!!, not nice at all:(

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

Mrs has a very similar recation - goes cold, white, and half a bottle of port is then required to relieve the stress!!

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

spiders i dont mind what i really really hate is daddy long legs,arghhhh, and before u say anythin i know they are stupid insects,i just hate them, i panick when i see them lol

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

If you want to see a spider worthy of the name try this one:
http://arachnophiliac.info/burrow/gallery/tarantulas/images/pterinochilus_murinus_1.jpg

You don’t get any idea of its size from the picture but I can assure that it could straddle your hand. Called a Baboon Spider it is not poisonous to humans, well not really. But the bite can be quite painful. I came across these critters in Capetown where they also had king sized cockroaches. How about a cockroach some 4 inches long and tough enough so that you could stand on one and not kill it.

Dag, first thought was "What a keen new mouse catcher!":p (absolutely shoking!)

Brian

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

I don't like spiders, see them every day, running out of things, that's why I became a plumber, with a BLOWTORCH, run now you little ******!!

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

try again, this time with the correct image attachment!!!

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

If I had camel spiders running around my house I think I may be a bit more worried.

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

And you can buy them as pets but they are really agressive. I dont know why anyone would want one but sometimes I wonder if I should buy my mum one for her birthday...

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

You wouldnt sleep for a week if you found one of those on your wall! And you certainly wouldnt be able to use the tried and tested pint glass + beer mat method for catching it!

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

Eeeewwww!
That image sent a shiver down my spine
Horrible things!

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

I remember seeing those camel spiders on Fear Factor once - the contestants had to eat them! Yuk!

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

Oh Gross! lol

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

Didnt she get a porsche for eating them?

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

Im starting to wish I hadnt started this now...:cool:

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

Why??..... Not making ya queasy now is it?:plol

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

Im alright with the idea of them on my wall - thats cool. The idea of eating them is however a little unsettling...

Having said that, check out this pic I found on wikipedia - fried spiders! spiders, chips and tomato ketchup anyone?

You have to imagine one of them sat on your plate, big black juicy spider, one leg still twitching - and then putting your fork through the middle of it.....

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

:s_sick:That's proper minging!
They big uns anorl

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

It's quite disturbing that you can actually imagine these things on YOUR plate:p

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

Yeah im actually feeling quite ill now.

Re: and now time for something a little different...(warning - shoking image!)
 

Lol.... I was feeling ill at the start of the thread:rolleyes:

You guys are turning into a bunch of sickos:eek: Of course there are those who think that eating tripe or jellied eels is a little disgusting. Why not just swat the damn things like Garfield does ... the spiders that is, not the eels.
