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:

1. Watch your back.
He'll probably run over you in the night.

3. I know, he's gonna be waiting
until I'm just on the brink of dropping off, and then he'll run over my head. x( :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
it with raid. :P

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.
