Spider bombs seem to work the best for me.  About time to do the house too!

I usually leave them be, unless they're brown recluse spiders.  I figure as long as they're around, the other insects are being kept at bay.

Usually larger spiders in the U.S. are Wolf Spiders.  In west Michigan we got them.  Killed about 5-6 so far this "spring". I don't care if they chill out in the corners of the storage part of the barn or the garage, just as long as they don't come in the house! :villagers:  They look similar to brown recluse but they are a little different in shape and they usually are larger.

Thanks for that M Clown  :cheers:

For the spider dilema  :clueless:
As a Marine Technician, diving into boats headfirst that have been on the water, I've done seen MANY species of spiders up VERY close,(amongst other things  :22yikes: :1zhelp: ). I simply lift em up, and get them out of harms way.
Could they be poisonous? Sure. But I believe that intuitively they understand that I am only trying to help them, so in turn they do not feel the need to poison me at that particular moment.  :wave:
 My advice.......get to know the spiders, then decide whether your able to live harmoniously side by side  :swaying: :swaying:

 Man, if I get bit tomorrow at work, I'm gonna be really pissed  :roflsmiley: :bricks1:

One of my Co-workers had a spider take up residence in his EAR!

No joke, he had to go to the ER, and everything. The DR freaked out when the spider was coerced from his new home.  :puke:

Needless to say, the guy gets a little skittish around the eight legged types.

Spiders would be alright as long as they followed what was said in that Canadian production film of "Spiders on Drugs."  That'd be funny to watch every time a spider drove by. :smilielol:  Wow, it's late. ::) :biggrin:

:smilielol: Prick! :lol: Na, I do hate them, badly. I'd sooner run into a car or jump a cliff if dared. Not sure why, they have never done anything to me. Snakes, crocs, rats, sharks no problem touching any. Just not spiders.

     :iagree:   I feel your pain NZ....  Spiders Suck!..   I think I have figured out why I don't like them versus snakes and other creepy creatures.  I also don't have a problem with snakes and such.  I think the main reason I don't like spiders is because I know that if I don't go where snakes and such hang out, my chances of running into one is pretty slim.  There are exceptions, but still very slim.  Spiders on the other hand are sneaky sobs.  You can be chillin' in your house and one of them can just "drop in" on you for a visit.  Had them do it before.  They also get in you bed with you.  That's why I hate em, they are everywhere.  You want to see a sight, watch old Old's Cool get it in gear when a spider gets on him.  I'm just glad I don't pull a muscle or something trying to get em off....lol      :cheers:     :cooldancing:
