Damn I just saw an enormous spider run into my bedroom |
|
I grabbed a glass from the kitchen to trap it with and ran into the bedroom, but I can't find it. :scared:

11. I once found one in our bathroom in the middle of the night |
|
It ran over my foot, which freaked me out. I couldn't find it anywhere. I had a hard time getting back to sleep. knowing it was somewhere in the house, but I tried anyway. About an hour later, it ran across my bare butt. Eeeeeeeeek!

8. You'll need more than a glass to trap it. Quick. Build a web and spray |

10. Spiders creep me out so much. My mother once told me a crazy |

Edited on Wed Sep-14-05 04:39 PM by Jamastiene
idea that supposedly kills spiders. She said spray them with hairspray. So, I found this one right in the corner. I couldn't swat him. I didn't have raid. I only had hairspray. I sprayed him. As long as he kept moving I kept spraying. As much as spiders give me the creeps, watching him die slowly like that was hard. When he finally did die, I had to chisel him out of the corner. I never could get the "sticky" off the floor and baseboards there either.

12. I don't wanna kill it |
|
in fact I'm not allowed to. One way or another, me and this spider dude are going to have to find a way to coexist. I'd prefer coexisting with it outside and me inside, of course!

13. If you are not allowed to kill it, maybe you could just identify |
|
it. If it isn't poisonous, then carefully hold out your right hand and introduce yourself. By the time the spider figures out which one of its 4 right legs to offer back to shake your hand, you can run away. :P

15. The response in my dorm |

to any unwanted "creepy-crawly." Hair spray worked as good as Raid and didn't stink.

16. I think I know what happened there... |
|
Hairspray, from what I've heard, reacts chemically with the spider's exoskeleton and melts it. Get some Raid next time. More civilized.
