Put a glass over it, slide some thick paper or cardboard underneath, and let the bugger go a good distance from your house. Spiders are good, they eat the nasty flying biting insects. Don’t kill them. I dunno what everyone’s problem with spiders is. I love spiders, and have several. They’re actually really cool.

Fuck spiders, I’d rather deal with Mosquitoes then a huge ass spider lurking around my bed at night. Don’t wake up with dry mouth!

so many spiders in my house (especially my basement) i just try to ignore them. Really isn’t anyway to get rid of them all in this old farm house.

Biggest one we had so far was the size of a mouse, I kid you not.

You guys are all pussies.

Everyone realizes they swallow a handful of spiders a year in their sleep right?

If you wake up before consumption, they will bite the inside of your throat and top of your mouth… it’s happened to a family member before. They had to go to the emergency room before their throat swelled up so much they couldn’t breath.

After it happened we read that this same occurance happens to thousands of people a year… fortunately you’ll wake up from the bite and the swelling takes a long time. Now if you are hammered…?

Also, global warming has increased the habitat in which brown recluses can live, so it’s not surprising if there were some in Buffalo… or even more than before…

:bsflag: The brown recluse has been in this area for a long ass time, its just very rare that people have encounters with them. It Has nothing to do with some made up problem like global warming. Also, if a spider bites your throat it will not cause it to swell up unless it is a poisonous spider. I landscaped for 10 years…I can’t tell you how many thousands of spider bites ive had. None of them swelled. They just leave a red mark and itch like a mother fucker.

No it was a common wolf spider. The brown recluse is a very small spider…its venom however is meant to cause severe pain and disalve flesh so that the spider can drink the insides of its prey. This is why it causes the flesh to rot from the inside out when a human gets bitten. A friend of the family had been bitten by a brown recluse when he was in florida. it looks like someone took an icecream scoop and dug a chunk out of his calf.
