At least Five types of "Hunting Spiders" have invaded my house... (not just a "couple of Spiders".... (those large "Sewer Spiders" that I have been finding in the bathroom (at least a three inch "leg-span", though normally Larger than that"... the Wolf spiders (also in the bathroom (just look first before sitting upon the toilet..) and now one is dead and the other rushes across the floor towards you when you enter the room...just stops about a foot away... and stares at you... any sudden move towards it and it rapidly scurries away....
... And about that time of the year again for the brown recluses to start coming inside...
....Never a "Dull" Moment , Kiddies...
This is not good. May I ask where you are? Sounds like Australia almost. Some aggressive and big spiders there. I live in China now and I have to say that China has fewer snakes and spiders than the States did. I lived in Texas and Washington State and it was simply a living horror movie at times.
ReplyDeletelower rural North Carolina....
ReplyDelete... abut fed up with the wolf spider in the bathroom... every time that I tried to step closer to the tub ... it would dart out and stop.. the closer I got to the tub the closer it moved towards my foot.. aggressive little "Fv<ker"....
hope that you are well , good Sir...
I heard on the news the other day that the spiders will be bad this year due to the mild weather this past summer. I'm not easy bugged by spiders but that one in the bathroom would have me bugged out a little!
ReplyDeleteWell awoke today to a "plump" jumping spider (well over an inch and nearly as wide) only inches from my face... (i sleep on my couch) as soon as I went to make a move she (the males are smaller) ran behind the couch....
Delete.. mostly just "concerned" about the brown recluses that will be dropping from ceiling with in a few weeks (Happens twice a year... like some form of "Migration" .... so always "on my guard".... well we dom't just sit here "bored"....
.. a Great Mid-Week to you good Sir..
We don't have many spiders in our house at any time but when I see one, I spray (with Home Defense, bought at groc. store) beneath every door going outside and window sills, too. And, I keep a can of RAID close by during spider and bug season.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it will get cold enuf this coming winter to kill 'em all.....
I live in NC too and I have come across a couple of brown recluses the past week. I've heard from some other folks that for some reason they're really numerous this year. Good luck and stay safe !
ReplyDeletethey come in (mostly ) from the crepe myrtle trees in early spring and again in the fall... I enjoyed reading over posts at your "Drive-In" blog, good Sir...
DeleteHorrible. Hope you find a way to win this battle.
ReplyDeleteall of the poisons (already applied to my home) kills them (these "predators" )... in less than a day.... does Not really even "phase" the Roaches...!!!!
