Adorable Kitttens ITT

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

Yo that shit looks itchy!
I used to get bit on the feet a lot when I had those little black and red or black and brown
spiders living under my cabinet in the bathroom. (there were two).
They itched and itched.

That would drive me nuts! Would they just rush out and attack you when you weren't looking?

Well my toes would be under the cabinet, in "their space", so they would sneak down and bite my feet then sneak back up to where they were.
They weren't poisonous, just assholes.
Sure would itch and I'd curse. But when I'd look down there to smash em they'd be staring at me... with those eyes...
those "we're just doing what spiders do" eyes.
Sigh. Herman and Mildred.

squid the proper technique is to shriek  and jump around until someone kills them. or squirt them with windex til they drown in chemicals....

we only have tiny non poisonous spiders over here, though and they aren't all fluffy and shit either.

YOU LIE!

here is a dutch biting poisonous underwater spider.

I like it when nature is weird.

I am rather arachnaphobic.
Methods to deal with spiders:
Freeze them to death with an upside-down air duster can.
 Effective, but sometimes blows them around too much. Generally safe.
Burn them with an oxyacetylene torch.
 Less blowing around than the freezing method, but can't be used near anything you don't want to annihilate. Dangerous.
Pop them with a HERF gun.
 Dangerous. Even if it's non-ionizing you can still cook yourself nicely. Also harder to get and rather more illegal in most places. On the plus side, they pop as their insides boil.
Boiling water.
 Good for spiders in places you can get wet.

Yeah, but aren't you in Australia?  Its not exactly an irrational fear....

I don't know about Squid.  How can she lob those pictures like that and haunt poor Fred and Remington?  

Fred and who?
C'mon. Even if you're scared of spiders those pictures are cute.
And if not, they know what's in the thread, they can always not click.
Or click and force themselves to look till they aren't scared anymore.
These things are only as big as a dime and they can't hurt you.

'twas just a pun.  too subtle I suppose.  
Sorry for any confusion.

what is a HERF gun?

also, i don't really have a problem with spiders, but i HATE wasps.  i like to catch them and put them under an upside down drinking glass.  if i'm lucky i can catch one or two more before the first one dies.  then i put them all under the same glass and watch them fight.

i'm assuming similar tactics could be used with spiders.

Awww! Sort of like having tiny adversarial owls in your bathroom!

This has always been an effective way of getting rid of spiders for me. Not that I necessarily want to give them a chemical bath but it's the best way I can deal with it if no-one's around/willing to deal with it for me. I DID let the awful-looking spider (mostly cuz it was big and had really long legs - not a daddy long-legs) sitting on/next-to the toilet bowl be a day or two until my boyfriend got around to getting rid of it. It still died, but not a horrible chemical death at least. Sometimes he'll just try to let them out of the house, which is fine by me as long as they're not anywhere near me.

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

Yeah, I'm not really out to kill them.
I honestly don't care if they're there.
