how do you handle that scary spider!

[rocklolo]

Ok you are scared s**t of spiders and you are on your own or with your childrens but do not want to scare them too so what do you do?
exterminates them by any means and force until there is no more trace of them or gently, easy in your hand taking that thing in the garden; next door with the snails.

[lindapinda]

[ELVIS68]

It`s true linda, I can`t squish them, it`s cruel

[rocklolo]

Yes lets nute them :
have on sale some mini fire instinguishers a dry-freeze .
the vaccum is no good because the spider will escape..

[Pirate1]

I don't think they will escape from the vaccum, they must get pretty bashed up when they go through the system! Also, we always vaccum something else up afterwards to make sure!

sniff : - (

[Pirate1]

Sorry :(

[rocklolo]

Last week we were in the garden at night and enjoying the barby, and always buys those cheap garden candles on bamboo sticks they are about �1.00 and makes a lot of mess in your garden. They are extremely dangerous , i have tried to exterminate one spider with a candle, the spider was quicker and went next door.

What a bloody bunch of moronic Limeys! A spider: few extra legs, bit of a furry body, does absolutely nothing wrong but live a spidery life creeping and crawling around. I've met a lot more insidious characters here on AB but I wouldn't stomp or spray them into oblivion !

[Pirate1]

Stewey. Ok, what creeps you out then?

[stewey]

People not responding to my responses. Thanks, Pirate.

[Pirate1]

Funnily enough that happens to me too. I'm persevering though!

[BBWCHATT]

I use the cheapest stiffest aerosal hair spray I can find - usually Aqua Net - I keep spraying until it stops moving. The next day - when I am absolutely certain it is dead - I vacuum it up.

[stewey]

Talk to you again, Pirate. I have to go to web, I mean bed, now!

nite nite

[unruliejulie]

I always catch em in a glass and put some card over the top then chuck em out the window. Im chief spider catcher in our house cause all the men (?) are afraid of them! I couldnt kill one just for the sake of it!

[nuoyg]

I am petrified of spiders. I handle in the following grown up manner:-
1) Point and shriek at the monster, whilst hyperventilating slightly.
2) Run up to Mr Nuoyg, shakey and in a state whilst stuttering ''t-t-t-hing, in, b-b-bathroom.''
3) If i'm on my own, please ignore number 2, as I call Mr Nuoyg screaming and crying. Once he thought I was being attacked.
4) If Mr Nuoyg is in, he goes to get a postcard and glass to get rid of the monster whilst I stand stressing in the background and saying ''hurry, it'll get away'' like it's a baddy in a 70's cop film. By this stage I'm tapping foot wildly or pacing up and down the room. Mr Nuoyg gets it and puts out of window. I give a bit PHEW and wipe beads of sweat away from forehead.
5) If Mr Nuoyg is out then I call my parents and hope they'll come round for the rescue mission, once I had to call Mr N's brother.

I don't have children but if I do, then I'll have to think of a way of making my life spider proof as I wouldn't want the poor devils to grow up copying me. It's horrible and longwinded!

[netibiza]

I absolutely agree with nuoyg - in fact spiders were one of the factors for me leaving UK and living in Ibiza. We get green and yellow striped ones that bite, but they are in the garden and I can keep away from them, else Mr N has to battle with them.

[nuoyg]

netibiza - green and yellow that BITE! omg! Do they show up so if you're in the garden you can see them from feet away, or do they just lurk and appear?
