How would you like to put your hand in mailboxes and have those precious things crawling on you

NOW I'm really sorry I read this thread! oh. my. damn.

lol!

Terminix came a sprayed today, so I'm sure our guard spider is most likely no more...

I'm sure there are plenty more to take his place sadly... I found another that size dead on my patio... they're stalking me... lol

shannonroselive · 06-18-2009, 08:58 PM

So, from the pic, that thing is like the size of your palm? And this doesn't send you screaming down the street?

We have some spiders that look like that I always called them wolf spiders but my husband calls the wood spiders either way they are yucky.

Depends on what you are talking about. If you mean wolf spiders, fishing spiders or tarantulas, then I wouldn't have a problem, as they are all completely harmless. I quite often handle tarantulas by choice, and by accident. If however you mean true spiders as in recluse, wandering, funnel web, widow etc, then no, that is a totally different scenario

ACk...I would be calling an exterminator. Spiders give me the heebie jeebies

Our wolf spiders in KS are much hairier. We had one in our school girl's bathroom this last year. The kids didn't want the custodian to kill it, so they go me to take it outside. Was surprised that most of the kids knew that a wolf spider is good to have around. When we have them around our yard, I never kill them. Don't get me wrong....I'm not a fan of any other spiders.

I have seen almost everything in a mailbox and its not fun. I now wear latex gloves on my right hand, its funny I have a tan line and people always think there is a scare going on at the PO but it helps not to get bite right off the bat, unless they crawl up your arm which they have

OMG - this almost gave me a heart attack!!! I'm not normally sqeemish but we get Black Widows out here and I am so fearful that the kids will run in the garage and one will bite them. I found some stange, huge, black spider in my planter last week and I still have the creepies from it. Yes, I's rather handle a snake or mouse (no rats) than have a spider climbing up my wall or hanging off my ceiling! UCK!!!

hviola · 06-20-2009, 02:05 PM

I really don't know what kind of spider that is. I sure hope I don't see any around my house. The tiny house spiders are bad enough for me, lol.
