Spider problem
 
I have a slight spider problem in my little kingdom. It seems that where ever I look, there's a farking spider there. Here's an example, I went to take a dump few hours back and there was this large-ish spider in the corner of the opposing wall, I killed it and got rid of the small web it had built there. Right, I just went for a pee pee and in the same darn spot there was this huge ass spider, atleast 3 times as big as the last one. And last night, as I was happily drunk, speaking with Hunter on MSN, this one arsehole climbed to my PC table, almost had a heartattack ffs. Any tips on how to get rid of them or atleast lessen their numbers? :hmmm:

Ow, and I HATE THOSE ****ING THINGS!

Reminds me of one time I hear a shreak from the kitchen.

My wife is on her toes pointing at the floor where a spider about the size of your thumb was crawling accross the floor.

Pfffft I thought to myself reached out and stomped and squished the spider.

The spider erupted into thousands of tiney little spiders crawling everywhere. It was like something out of a horror movie.

I searched desperatly and quickly for a can of bug spray but found none. So I sprayed with a can of spray oil "PAM" which slowed the pinpoint sized off spring till I could mash em all and wipe em up.

Almost assuredly some escaped. :rotfl:

Just dont do what some guy in Miami did and attack the webbing with a blow torch and burn your house down ! :o

Sounds weird but spiders do not like things like nice smelly candles or strong air fresheners. I used to get them in my basement until the wife started burning the candles that make a fragrance. It helps to vacuum once a week also Dowly:shifty:

I dont hate the little gits, but i hate the mess they make....THUMP! ''what was that i shout downstairs'' ''nothing, just a spider'' she shouts back. I go downstairs and there's a three inch thick phone directory lying in the middle of the floor with a tiny little spider underneath spread out to about 6'' in diameter.

uuuhhh... have you tryed bug bombs, or the exterminator.:rotfl:

I dont like those 8 legged crawly things... (thank god we dont have em realy in are house.)

Here we do not have big hairy spiders runing around the house divisions, etc. Mainly, just small ones etc. I let them go freely, since they eat mosquitos, so during the summer times, i can sleep! Also, centipede or zool (term that my englsish dictionary give me to the bug I want to talk) can run normally in my home, the same reason! If they can escape my cats...

Tomorrow go about your business as usual. Later in the evening put on some easy listening music to lull them to sleep. Quietly step outside where you have pre-positioned some gasoline and matches. Splash the gasoline at all exit points, doors, windows, chimney, etc, etc. Then without delay set your house or apartment ablaze. That should take care of your spider problem.

A smattering of chocolate on those spiders Skybird and you got something. :D

There's a slllight problem with that... I live in a flat. :haha:

Anyone got any idea, if same or similar methods work on spiders as for ants? We had quite a big antproblem where I lived as a kid and salt or saltwater seemed to keep them away. :hmmm:
