I sprayed like 1/4 of the bottle on him, then dumped pure acetone on him, almost half of a huge value size bottle, and he WAS STILL ALIVE! So now I’ve got the hot-water running, and I’m not turning it off for a little while. :scared:
Spray Gel does not work??? How big is the spider…? It looks like one of those wood spiders that jump at you.
The hot water will kill it… Then make Mike clean the trap.
It was like as big as a half dollar, he was a big fucker! I could see his fangs in his shadow! He didn’t jump though, if he had Mike would’ve found me on the floor having a seizure whenever he got home.
Oh yeah, he’s definetly dead now, another 1/4 bottle of acetone and several gallons of scalding hot water did the trick. He’s dead in the trap, and mike is DEFINETLY cleaning that out!
Yep… That’s one of those nasty wood spiders… We had one in the bathroom one time. Buddy was in there with me and I was trying not to make him irrationally afraid of spiders like I am. So… I tried to stay very calm… I sprayed it with hairspray (Rave number 4… I grew up in the 80’s) so it wouldn’t move… then flushed it… and the entire time I could feel the beads of sweat of forming on my scalp because all I wanted to do was run away screaming like a little girl…
Mike gets mad whenever I scream, cause he always comes running cause he thinks I’m dying or something. Then he sees the itty bitty spider (had a water-spider in the shower once… that was scary, he was right under my leg while I was shaving!) and tells me I should stop being such a baby.
I am sitting at my desk laughing hysterically… I do the same shit.
I was sitting on the couch in the living room last night and Eurodad was on Pittspeed as usual… on the other side of the house. I look up on the wall… and there is one of those nasty thousand legger things that you can’t even step on cause they go flat… So I yell for him to come and kill it… He tries to grab it and save it… <- can’t kill them… let’s throw them outside (damn good sumaritans)… and drops it behind the couch… well I got my fat pregnant ass out of there as fast as I could… “I’m going to my room for the rest of the night”…
those things are so nasty! We had them in my parents house real bad in the basement. I don’t have them (crosses fingers) in our house, I’ve only seen one or two of them, and they were little ones, so they weren’t as quick as the big ones!
Mike can’t kill them either… he called about 1 minute after I first saw it, and I told him he had to come home immediately and kill it! He said “How would you like it if you were walking through a kitchen and someone squished you??”. So of course I told him that if I was brown and hairy with a black spot and fangs, and looked dangerous, I wouldn’t mind someone putting me out of my misery!
I think I’m going to buy stock in hairspray now… the AEROSOL kind of course, that way I don’t have to wear out my finger using the regular spray bottles! I’m ordering a case tomorrow!
No, not unless you want to see him along with all the food in the trap of the sink. I’m not getting him out!! I did check on him a few minutes ago to make sure he was still dead though, and he’s definetly dead… I checked, and re-checked.
Oh and for those who said use a gun? I think the gun we have (if I could muster the strength needed to load the thing) would blow a giant hole in the sink, not just the spider.
