I had a small one crawl across my arm the other night. Just shooed it off. The things that really gross me out (not scare me) are the water bugs that come inside after the rain. Ewww...

And another spider!
This time it was on the electric heater of my entertainment room. From afar it looked like a baby but it was bigger than that. I called my mom and she got it, normally she takes the vaccum when it's not babies but she went with a wet tissue this time and she freaked out doing it but she got it.

There's a lot of spiders here in Oklahoma too. I hate them.

I keep a big spray can of bug spray ready. I ran out one day and used hair spray -- the really stiff kind. Paralyzed 'em! Then I was able to squash them without them running fast.

Daisy,
Mom thought me a trick like that but she told me to use Windex or something like that. I cannot do that when they are on or near something like an electric heater though.

Windex and the hairspray trick do work. I've tried them both. Hairspray (Like Aquanet) works really well.

Mom got many huge ones like that in Ste-Florence. They were not only huge but also went outside during Winter  ! I am too scared for that unless I am alone so no choice but tarentulas forget about it I just cannot  !
