dangerous brain Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 they still have a bad bite and inject anastetic so you cant feel them eat away at your face,not a good site to wake up and see ya mucca with half a face Thats a bloomin myth they don't chew on humans faces only camels arses lol. I can guarantee you if one of them f*ckers was on your face you'd know about it anesthetic or no. Funniest one I remember was waking up every morning and there'd be one or two on top of various peoples mossie nets in the tent. You'd just back hand them off of there from the inside before you got out of bed. One morning one of the armourers sleepily performed said backhand, only mr camel spider was on the inside of the net not the outside. Mr camel spider landed on mateys chest. Que matey boy jumping up into the mossie net entangling himself in it with flailing arms and legs and screeching like a banshee. He couldn't get away from the spider cos it was trapped inside the same net with him. He couldn't get any further than a couple of feet in any direction as the mossie net was attached to the tent roof. Oh how we did guffaw.

Hermit Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 However on closer inspection this thing was massive, I kist you not the leg span must could span roughly 3inch the body was nearly the same size of a wasp but longer and thinner. Like this chappy? Just found him by the crapper - glad I noticed him before I sat down! [ATTACH]63054[/ATTACH] The glass is just over 3.5 inches wide.

boombastictiger Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I have a shoot on site approach in my yard...0% tolerance for spiders....I have spider corpses on the wall to warn off other spiders... The war on spiders is deadly, they are dirty players and dont play the rules of engagement fairly...I have been ambused several times whilst on the toilet....the most memorable was when i was taking a shit and a suicide spider comes running from under the door (which was infront of me) and kept running straight at me...what could I do i was in the most vunerable position, pants down, sitting on the toilet... Then there are the hybrid spiders that are the Heros to other spiders , those eletric "wave" and sprays dont work...these spiders are militant I once witnessed a spider walk out of the garage, stop next to one of the electric wave wall socket spider repellant things, look at it, smile and then come running straight FOR ME.. Just to scare a few people on here, the black widows sisters actually lives in the south of england especially around surrey...it cant kill likes its black sis, but it can inflict a nasty bite and put u in bed for a few days....

creative Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 hate spiders myself......... but didnt when I was younger.... I lived in Oz and ....as you do when you are young... me and my sister used to go looking for trapdoor spiders! we used to shove sticks into their burrors to see if we could get them out! Another on was by my dad. He was a builder over there.... started digging a trench out for house foundations.... went to lunch, came back and found that they had disturbed a redback spiders nest/colony type thing. Apparently hundreds of the little buggers in this trench... One of australias most venemous spiders and they had to flamethrower the trench to kill them all before work could resume!:blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need to kill them, just put them outside, preferably still alive! As for the false black widow, we get those in Eastbourne, as I've had to clear a few from the dining room/conservatory. I must admist they do look surprisingly like the poisonous beasties! No bites yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprash Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Who ever keeps throwing them outside can you please stop and just kill them, why let them out to come and terrorise us poor people that get the willies from them. It must be that time of year as the gf said last night she was sat on the sofa and this huge thing came running across, pint glass job over the top of it and disposed off. Then two hours later another one crawled out from the under sofa....... Im just glad I was at work on a night shift, seriously it still creeped me out today being sat on the floor next to the sofa. And now reading this Im starting to fear a trend of these evil little critters, that maybe they seem to like sofa's, maybe their nesting in there, Ooohhhh feck, time to pull apart the newly purchased sofa for investigation...... And I always relaxed in the thought (cant remember where this came from, maybe read it, maybe someone said it, maybe I made it up for my own peace of mind), but spiders supposedly dont like soft ground under them, so should 'shy' away from surfaces like beds and sofa's. Not working out good so far is it....... But I blame my dad for this fear, as I have no reason to hate them so much, again I can deal with daddy long legs, and any other insects, but I will always remember as a kid, seeing my Dad leap 20ft at the sight of a spider, so think I have just picked that fear up from him...... This world would be a better place with out them...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest supraimpose Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I've had two memorable spider encounters, beyond the usual ones. The first was when I was about 12, and my bro and I were playing football in the back garden with the next door neighbours. One of em hit the ball towards me, but mis-hit, and the ball struck a green bucket a few feet in front of me. The bucket sailed up in the air and passed over my head upside down, landing behind me. What I didn't realise at first was that the bucket had been full of some kind of spider nest, and there were hundreds of tiny green spiders in it. Of course, all the web and most of the spiders had emptied onto my head as the bucket flew over me, so my hair and face were covered with a thick spider web crawling with hundreds of pissed-off tiny spiders. I'm not sure how I managed not to scream like a little girl, but I wasn't actually that freaked out, and I just squeezed my eyes shut and brushed it all off as quick as I could. I think my mates bricked it more than I did The second one scared the **** out of me. I must have been about 14 and was doing my homework on the dining room table, above which there was a hanging light. I was quietly working away, when a jet-black spider about four inches across including its legs dropped off the light and landed with a loud "thwack" right next to my pen. I just about had a heart attack and jumped right out of my chair. After I'd calmed down a bit I let it loose in the back garden. Neither compare with the time with the fire ants though, but I think I'll save that for another day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
