My mother used to kill every spider on sight, or give out a loud yell to summon me.
Since she knows i get mad if she kills em, she calls me to take them outside. After time though, i conditioned her to simply leave them be, she doesn't even phase anymore if she sees them and is able to simply ignore them now. She's a lot less stressed now because of that :) My stance has always been the same, i dislike mosquito's more then i dislike spiders. So spiders are in and mosquito's are out. Peace, -Boem- Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes

Lol i once picked a tiny spider from the floor, trying to save it from my mom sweeping. The damn thing bit my finger and i never trusted spiders since.
I am the light of the morning and the shadow on the wall, I am nothing and I am all.

" Then they're just spiderbros that want to keep your house safe from pests :) Must have been thinking of Redbacks and/or funnels then. I'm "Murican" so my knowldge of Anywhere's fauna is rather lackluster " I think he means the porcelain throne, as in the toilet. Not my real account anymore, use it for forums while I work You might also know me as "Thisisnotmyrealaccount" to which I forgot the E-mail for.

"I think he means the porcelain throne, as in the toilet." Yes, correct. Here in Oz we call it "the throne" among other names. For example, after a long night on the booze, you might say it was the "phone to jesus", or "driving the porcelain bus"... or the "dunny", "loo", crapper, etc, etc. Spiders, on hot Ozzie days need a drink and seek out moisture, especially the larger ones. So we quite often find them in the shower or toilet. When it's colder, places like sock drawers and your shoes and clothes are favourite hiding places. Most of the Ozzie spiders are venomous. Some of them will kill you and are quite aggressive when disturbed. The Ozzie funnelweb being a fine example of this. |

I relocate all spiders I find in the house to outside, I even have a glass container for such a purpose. Sometimes when I catch a large Huntsman, I'll find a moth and put it in the jar and watch it get devoured.
For those who have a policy of killing spiders on sight, shame on you. Huntsmen are large spiders and no doubt leave a large mess to clean up. Let them live as they'll clean up some of the other more dangerous spiders. "Withdrawing in disgust is not the same as apathy"

Huntsman Spider
While-tailed spider
 They're not really comparable Sarah, I'd probably be more scared of the massive thing that hangs out on toilet paper and wrestles with snakes. Although in saying that, the white tail fills me with a sense of dread that the Huntsman doesn't. Probably because I've never encountered a Huntsman before, and also possibly because white tails are aggressive, evil, sinister, hellspawn-spiders. They even look menacing, and will run at you if you look in their direction. Need some help? Contact us at support@grindinggear.com

" For someone that is highly allergic to many, many types of insects it's more a matter of self preservation. I've been hospitalized once over a damn spider, never again if I can help it... Search google images for "brown recluse spider bite" and you'll get a better idea of why I feel this way. (Don't do this if you're squeamish though, you've been warned) :P Just a lowly standard player. May RNGesus be with you.

" Most people are allergic to being bitten by a venomous spider to some degree. When I was younger, I was bitten on the eyelid by a spider whilst I was sleeping. I woke up and wasn't able to open my eye. It healed, I was fine after a few days. I don't know which type of spider it was. I still believe in life. All creatures great and small with the exception of mosquitoes, which is why I'm happy to have spiders living outside the house. As to being squeamish, I've lived in Australia my whole life and I'm used to 90% of the fauna being poisonous. "Withdrawing in disgust is not the same as apathy"
