I spotted one of those enormous house spiders the other day. I usually leave them alone cos they keep any bugs down, and they keep other spiders out.

I found it again today.
Dead.
Squashed.
And I have been walking about in my bare feet. :x

We supposedly have have a zillion mites living on our skin, in our hair and in our homes too, how do you feel about that?

Bigboab: how&#39;s the screenshot coming?

they sell one of those zappers in stores, they are made to look like tennis racket, but in fact they are like 10,000 volt zappers.

yeah i bought one of these the other way. extremely useful again bugs like mosquetos and stuff

One day my friend called me and said to bring the "bitch" and that it&#39;s urgent. so I didn&#39;t know what&#39;s going on so I changed the batts in the racket and rushed to my freind&#39;s house. There I found 2 huge spiders "doing it", so I zapped them like there is no tomorrow, yeah and it was ...a mess :D

Spiders scare the heck out of me&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; :unsure:

Check out this one. Camel Spider (http://www.ecologicproductions.com/video_projects/TSCK/endangered/TSCK_spider.html) These bastards can go 10 mph or something.

Something like this? Does it really work?

Nope, couldn&#39;t have been a camel spider, I&#39;m not going to run around the house at 10 mph just to tread on a spider. :rolleyes:

yeah looks like that except mine is much more powerful. It&#39;s about 10,000 volts and about 10 amps through anything that conducts electricity.

you put a lil bugger on there, cook it for about 10 seconds, you can smell the stuff all over the house :D

yeah when I was done with the spiders it smelled like we are having BBQ&#39;s in the house :D

10000 VOLTS??? isnt the household voltage something like 240?

james_bond_rulez
09-09-2003, 01:20 AM
no what they&#39;ve done is using loops of wire to get it up to 10,000 volts. it&#39;s actually very little power but if you got zapped you hand goes numb for hours.

Strange how these things always seem to be discovered by a professor who just happens to be a specialist in that particular field. Or could it be that the reporter thinks that a teacher from the local high school doesn&#39;t sound as impressive as a professor.

Now for that one I&#39;d definitely get up to 10mph - in the opposite direction I think.

They reckon you that you swallow at least 10 bugs a year in your sleep&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;.......Dont ask who they they are cos i dont want to know &#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

Yikes. Thats nuts. I&#39;d hate to fall into that web. shudders :ph34r:

I must say, I really dislike spiders. Fortunately I live in a new apartment building and there doesn&#39;t seem to be many spidres round here. I realize the benefits of spiders, though, so I don&#39;t mess with em too much. We don&#39;t really have any poisonous spiders in my area either, so that helps me not fear them as much as I would otherwise. We have the occasional brown recluse but those are generally found further south from where I live, so thats good. B)

we get the big bastards that run under the sofas, one last year was almost the size of my hand :|

england is becoming a serious breeding ground for the bastards, I hate them, i&#39;d rather have the other bugs than the spiders that keep them down

mosquitoes are the worst i think....i spent 5hrs trying to squash the little bastard but always flew away.....got the sucker in the end and trapped him into a plastic tub and just let it run out of air....BWAHAHA

Lynx could hire out her feet(with various attachments) for catching spiders. There might be money to be made there&#33; Remember no advertising on the Forum. :D

I ain&#39;t having gender reassignment just for you, buddy boy. :angry:

In case you don&#39;t know how to take that, don&#39;t bend over or you&#39;ll find there&#39;s something else you don&#39;t know how to take. :o

My spider is BACK&#33; :)

I have just seen another large spider, I assume it is the original cos they don&#39;t grow that big overnight, and it is almost the same place as I last saw the original one alive. The question is where did the other (squashed) one come from.
Since it was right below the letter box, I think it came in (already squashed) stuck to an item of mail, which would explain why I didn&#39;t remember standing on it (phew).

Can&#39;t be much of a spider though, I haven&#39;t seen it doing any web design yet. :lol:

Maybe she&#39;s not webbing because she&#39;s too distraught over the loss of her mate whom you so carelessly trod upon and didn&#39;t even bother to acknowledge.

Posting dead spiders in this or any lounge is a serious offence. Anyone caught in this heinious practice will be reported to the appropriate authorities. Moderators please note, suck suck suck. :lol:
