Spiders

Use the ShopVac...

My wife has a "relocation program" for just about all living things. Won't kill anything. She even walks around and collects tired bees, puts them in a container and gives them honey till they are strong enough to go home. If you're a spider, you want to be found at my house. She might even feed you before letting you go into the wild.

That's my wife except without the net. She'll just reach in and grab the tail. We even have to relocate rattle snakes. 1 year, she got a 🐍 off the driveway, she put it in a bucket to show the kids when they got home from school. Puts a box on top of the bucket. When she got home with the kids, going in the garage she sees the 🐍 trying to get away under the wash machine. She runs over, grabs the tail, lifts the box off the bucket to put it back and sees 🐍 #1 still in the bucket. She does however not pick up rattlers with her hands.

Fuck spiders running around the house. I’ll catch them to feed my fish. 

Visiting Tucson back in March, this fuzzy little thing just wanted to jump in the hot tub. I had to escort it back to the wild while everyone else kinda freaked out.

I relocate them. The split second after I see one I relocate them right into the next life. I'll use my bare hands or fingers don't care. If you're s a spider and I see you, you die.   

Ever notice one crawling toward you while driving and almost wreck trying to kill it ? 

Spiders are good, they kill bugs.

Snakes are cute...

This is one spider you Don't Mess with :

Over 'fanged' and Over poisonous.

And Over Aggressive

It's venom seems specifically made to kill Primates. Yet, the bloody things just eat insects, snails, tiny lizards and frogs.

I think they must have evolved with a serious grudge against the first peoples of Oz.

We've got the bloody things Everywhere where I live.

And then, it's the flamin' snakes - when my Crazy Old Mum does some of her gardening at my place, I make a point of stomping around in amongst the ground cover to flush the blighters out, before she does anything. Still, at least once a year, I'll hear her call out for me to come and get a snake (something I'm not too keen on doing, I'm very bloody wary of the things, but, it's Mum, and you have to 'rescue' her) - at least she knows to stand still.  

Males are smaller - I get ones as big as , say, a 3" circle.

I've a Very Big Mumma, that often strolls across my workshop floor, that would do around a 6" circle.

It's The Fangs that are So Bloody Big!

Bigger than most Snakes.

And, they are generally Dripping with Venom.

I do a bit of a 'Hunt Around' when I go into the workshop, and try to make damned sure that I leave no clothing  / shoes touching / on  the ground - same for the covers on my recliner that I plonk myself down on. I have seals on the doors, but the Monsters find a way in.

Though, the most common, biggest 'Scare' I  / we get from a Spider, are the Bloody Huntsmans!

Absolute Ratbag Bloody Things!  Pretty Harmless, but Expert Frighteners!

They have a habit of dropping on you / chasing you around . So many people near p**s themselves when they try to remove them, say, using a broom, and the Psychopaths' come charging up the handle at you. If they would just be quiet, like Daddy Longlegs, well, I'd have no problem with them, as Spidies are good Fly, Mossie and Cockroach controllers.
