Veritaserum Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 In my littlest dds' room. :eek: They are sleeping elsewhere tonight. Tomorrow I plan to move things around and vacuum every nook and cranny! Poisonous spiders are so freaky. *shudder* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhotoGal Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Yikes! I asked dh to kill a black widow just yesterday. Luckily it was outside, though. Spiders creep me out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang!Zoom! Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I read spider, my brain goes pow. I couldn't even figure out who was sleeping elsewhere. (Did she mean the spiders or the kids) That junk puts me on another planet totally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara in AZ Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 My parents have hobo spiders all over their basement. Yuck! Do you have those little sticky traps for them? It's gross how many collect in my parent's traps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammi K Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I used to be freaked out by spiders until I lived in Australia. When there are red-backs in every crack and huge huntsmen crawling on the ceilings, you learn that you have to relax. It always amazed me that even though they were everywhere, no one ever got bitten. I guess they really are more afraid of us than we are of them.

Veritaserum Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 It was comforting to read that hobos can't climb up smooth surfaces. We have sticky traps, but if a kid touches one, the trap sticks to the kid. :glare: I just want the icky spiders to stay outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekland Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 And my youngest has many species of spiders living in his room (and my house) on purpose. He's doing a dichotomous key on Spiders for his Animal and Plant Science class at ps, but that's not why he has the spiders... and a preying mantis. Some are in containers and others free range...

Critterfixer Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 My son currently has his spiders to breakfast.:D (Mr. Tarantula, Long-legs, Black-Jaws, Mr. Black-back--all are stuffed animals.) In his room there is a funnel-web builder in the window who goes by the name of Anansi. He likes to feed the spiders outside by catching bugs for them. Spider identification has been important to keep him safe, but at least I've only got two poisonous spiders to worry about. I don't know if he'd make it in Australia with his obsession with spiders!
