Whereneverever Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Crawling on me. Gack. Inside my house, even. Guess it is time to start spraying again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereneverever Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 Is it bad that even after I smack them I still have the creepy crawlies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whereneverever Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 When we moved into this home it was infested. It was a foreclosure and needed work and the previous owners hasn't kept up with spider control at all. When we painted the outside of the house we just painted over them.

Shahrazad Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 If I ever have a spider crawling on me, my husband has been ordered to grab the closest heavy object and knock me out. I now have to amend that. If a black widow is crawling on me, I would like him to shoot me. Please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa in SC Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Ugh. Black widows are so nasty! They adore our garage and shed, and we have to be vigilant about spraying, although that doesn't eliminate them. They hang out in the sneakiness of places, too, so we're always having to look before grabbing ladders, etc. In spite of that, I've never had one on me before. :shudder: That's awful!! I feel for you. And here I get icked out when an earwig ends up on me. Guess I should count my blessings, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serenade Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Um, how do you get it off you without it biting? Eek! I get wigged out just seeing them. If I had one on me, well, I don't know what I'd do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trulycrabby Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Definitely an EEK moment! Definitely time to spray! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serenade Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I just crush them. It's gross but effective. And they don't bite you in the process of crushing. Eek! EEK! You are very brave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RemsMom Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I had one on me once. Didn't know what it was until I brushed it off me onto the floor. Most spiders I will capture and put outside but I kill black widows, even when I find them outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabella Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Definitely an EEK moment! Definitely time to spray! Speaking of which, I had an eeek moment myself when reading your post, and glanced over at your avatar! I had to look closely to see if I was imagining spiders everywhere! Then I read your name, and I'm hoping that it's some sort of hermit crab instead?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Where do you live? I need to know so that I never, ever go there. Eek! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whereneverever Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 Where do you live? I need to know so that I never, ever go there. Eek! Haha! Southern Wyoming. Really, it's not so bad and these are the main pests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orthodox6 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 How horrible ! ! ! I'm squirming at the mere thought. Please purge your house of those things! In an absurd aside, the thread title reminded me that my children recently watched "Arsenic and Old Lace". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Lava Mama Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Have you lived there long? When we moved into a new house about 10 years ago, there were TONS of them around because the place used to be a big crop field. I talked with our Ped. to see what to do if ds was bit. He said they can't kill a person, but could make a little one pretty sick. They tend to stay away from people and like dark places that people don't frequent. That was a problem at the time because, as anyone knows, all little boys [ds was 3 at the time] like to poke their fingers into dark places to find out what is in there! Same theory that forces little boys to push buttons when they have no idea what they do or what they are for! So, it's kind of weird that they are actually crawling ON you! Are they some kind of mutant, alien race type of spiders? Did they have glowing eyes?! Red, possibly, green glowing eyes! Have there been any kind of strange, space-craft type of circles in the nearby fields where you live? You might want to check this stuff out! :lol: Hot Lava Mama Oh, and, yeah, go ahead and spray the h#ll out of the place! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
