    Re: Spider in my bed

    As much as I want to move to Florida, the one deal-breaker is the damn insects over there...

      Any place that has spiders that could potentially be bigger than my hand, OR, kill me with one bite, is not a place for me.

        Spiders don't bother me any but Friday my wife and I was moving a tarp off my back deck and as I pulled it away she looked down and screamed, there was a moccasin coiled up where the tarp was. I hate snakes so bad, but I stomped on his head real quick and done away with him.

          What? What kind of shoe did you have on? If it was me it would have had to be a thick boot going up to my knee. Those things are crazy and the venom is bad. I would have gotten a shovel or gun and if the thing moved, I would have been gone. Luckily I've only seen 1 or 2 in the wild when fishing.

            I had on a pair of basketball shoes, he wasn't that big, and as much as I hate them being a bayou boy I'm used to seeing them and killing my share every year. I really wasn't expecting to see one this early in the year but I guess with the warm winter they are crawling a little earlier than usual.

              A few weeks ago I walked into our kitchen to see a spider that had to be three inches from the tip of one leg to the tip of another. I put on socks and squashed it with the swiffer sweeper... Lol... Gotta keep your distance.

              My first day at work down here my boss was showing me some stuff outside and I was just reaching into dark spaces, thinking nothing of it. He stopped me and said "hey, you really gotta watch when you are reaching into things. We have black widows and fiddle backs down here." Low and behold, we took a look in the corner or an aluminum box and there was a black widow spider chilling out on its web.

              It's crazy people live with these things. Recluses and Black Widows are not gonna live near my house. Some people just live with them, if those sob's are in a corner of my house or garage, I'm bringing in the exterminator.

                The Spiders get big down here, but really, it's not that bad. The spider I see the most often is the Wolf Spider, those sob's can get huge, I was chilling out there one night in my bare feet and talking to my girlfriend when I about stepped on one with babies on it's back. That was f'in disgusting.

                Banana Spiders are common too, those mfer's are freaking ridiculously big, I about ran into a web weedeating one time, I bet those things give a nasty bite. But they don't crawl around, which I like, they just stay in their web.

                The cockroaches are probably the biggest deal breaker for you. Alot of people hate them, I don't care about them, they don't bother me, but they are annoying. Palmetto bugs are just huge and you see them everywhere man. The thing that really shocked me when I moved down here from Kentucky was how much bigger things are, and that cockroaches can fly.

                First time I saw a roach fly other then the ones I've flicked



                That's a Banana Spider by the way. Wtf is this dude thinking? Yea their big Ray Allen. See what I did there..

                  Re: Spider in my bed

                  We don't have too many spiders here, but when I do see one I freak.

                  One time I got out of the shower and grabbed my towel to dry off. After a few seconds of drying off I see a dark spot on my towel...and realize it's a damn spider!

                  I threw my towel against the wall and hauled my pasty white *** as fast as I could out of that bathroom. I made it to my room at the other end of the hall, unseen by anyone else in the house. I threw the first clothes I saw on and brought along my weapon of choice, the Sole Crusher - a shoe that earned its name after its courageous victories in previous battles against the evil arachnids.

                  I was sure this guy was preparing an ambush on me as I entered the bathroom. I mean, what spider just sits on your towel for no reason? This guy had planned this **** out and his plan was to take me out. Obviously.

                  I walked into the bathroom slowly, shoe at the ready. No traps, no surprise attacks. Nothing. I see the towel sprawled out across my counter and against the wall. I approach the towel with extreme caution and reach out to grab it. I quickly tug it and take a few steps back as I hope to expose the spider.
                  At first nothing, but before I can prepare for my next move, I see something moving around on the sink. He's making a run for it and he knows that if he can get to the other side of the sink, I can't touch him.

                  There's no time left. I have to move and I had to do it at that moment. He's only inches away from safety, but for some reason he suddenly stops. I realize why he stopped right there, just to taunt me. It was like he was saying "You can't do it, you're too afraid. Come at me, bro."
                  That was the last straw. I took a deep breath and raised the shoe above my head. The shoe came crashing down on the evil mastermind spider, stunning him briefly.
                  But one hit isn't enough. It never is. I hit him again and again and again, until all that's left are a few dislodged eyeballs and mangled legs.

                  I sit among the ruins of the battle, exhausted, reflecting on the events that transpired.
                  "We live to fight another day, Sole Crusher," now fully realizing the ordeal I had just survived.
                  From that day forward, I always check my towel thoroughly before I use it. There have not been any terrorist spider attacks since then, but I suspect they are planning something soon. It's been far too long.

                  Stay vigilant, gentlemen.

                    I'm expecting a bad year for insects. I don't think we had enough of a winter to really destroy all the demons.

                    I've been killing spiders and wasps left and right.

                        Some of you guys are ridiculous. Spiders (as well as other arthropods commonly encountered in dwellings) and nothing more than a nuissance to me. Granted we don't have any dangerous spiders around here. All spiders are actually venomous, it's just that in most cases the bite can't penetrate human skin or the venom is to weak to be any danger.
