Bladesman   10 #37 Posted September 6, 2012 Your own fault for letting big cobwebs like that grow near your garden gate.  I hate spiders but get rid of the cobwebs before a spider sets up home.  Id not hate them as much but they have never killed the copious amounts of moths, flies and wasps that find their way into our house.

boyfriday   21 #40 Posted September 6, 2012 They come to drink out of humans mouths at night (fact)  Well I'll console myself with the fact it will no longer be with us having endured that experience Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
tinfoilhat   11 #41 Posted September 6, 2012 FACT: We dont get poisonous or deadly spiders in this country. (unless you are allergic) If its body (not including the legs) is big enough to fit in the palm of your hand then perhaps someone's pet has escaped and you need to call the rspca or some other organisation that can deal with it.  I doubt these so called facts. All spiders will kill you and everyone you care about. Kill em all !!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
L00b   441 #42 Posted September 6, 2012 Feast your eyes on this beauty:   Observed in our garden in Northern France about 3 weeks ago. Body was an inch or so across, the whole thing a good 3 inches across. Known to bite (supposedly feels like a wasp sting), but not venomous (at worst itching like a mosquito bite).  Unfortunately we had to terminate it, as there were infants playing around all day.

Doris Night   10 #43 Posted September 6, 2012 I'm absolutely terrified of them. Don't mind mice though, which is odd. My husband thinks its funny, it's not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

bladesman123 Â Â 10 #47 Posted September 7, 2012 Yes, and killing a harmless and rather lovely one just because you don't like it is extremely rude.

suebeedoo   10 #48 Posted September 7, 2012 Fact: We do actually, the False Widow Spider.. ( google it)  I thought that the False Widow was poisonous but not deadly? Even the Black Widow isn't deadly. My boss is Australian and was bitten by a Funnelweb and didn't need any antivenom, I had always thought that these were deadly! Apparently only to those with a compromised immune system or with low body weight need treatment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
