Mama Spider, You’re Gonna Die
July 12, 2008
I just found a Mama Spider and her eggs hidden in my front room shears.
I’m certain that if ever threatened with my life for real, I would uncontrollably pee myself. Because the sight of this Mama spider and her eggs made my legs weak and my bladder pulse.
I mean really. This spider is little-ish but the creepy crawly feeling I get looking at it and the fact that those eggs could sprout 8 million baby spiders at any time makes my entire lower half quiver.
In a crisis I’m pretty damn sure I would be useless. Also? Covered in urine.
Hello, my name is Karen ChickenPants and I’m itchy and skeered right now.
I need Daren the Arachnoid Hit Man, stat.
He’s napping. I’m tempted to run the vacuum just to piss him off. Hee!

We once had spider eggs hatch in our garage and found dozens of little spider threads with baby spiders marching up and down them! I made my husband vacuum them up with the ShopVac. I know it’s heartless, but UGH.

Hairspray works on those freaky things too. I used to be “pee my panties” scared of them too. Then I got one of those scary spider bites. Now all bets are off. Those dudes are NOT GETTING MY BACON. We are not letting them bite him EVER!!

I, too, am useless in a spider crisis. Awhile back I found a HUGE (HUUUUUUUGE!) spider in my bathtub. It was DEAD and I still couldn’t dig it out. I tried calling Cleatus at work (in a meeting, no help) and my dad at work (didn’t answer his cell phone, DAMN HIM). I ended up having to dispose of him myself and I still could cry remembering it.

We had a recent infestation of ticks…in our house….we live in the suburbs for the love of God! Every time I saw a piece of lint I would screech and run for the matches.
I’m feeling ya.

I’d feel bad … but I would squish them in a paper towel.

have you ever seen Arachnophobia!? I would pass out when confronted with an egg sac, no matter how small.

I found a black widow out back once. Now I don’t go outside. Ever. I am ok with that. I say you should go outside and not go back in. Trust me it sounds extreme but it works!

Country living has made me a changed woman. I do not fear black spiders or tarantulas. I do watch out for brown recluse spiders since we know first hand the results of their bite. Scorpions are not my favorite but they are not poisionous in Oklahoma and their sting is about like a bee sting. I am so changed that I even battled a black snake last year that was getting our chicken’s eggs. I am nature girl, watch me roar! My former bank clients would laugh at such images.

Oh Lawd, I understand seeing as we have our own little bug issue here. Gah!! I’m all itchy now!
I’d so rather have the spiders then the earwigs!

I’m a HUGE arachnophobe. In the window over my sink, we keep getting spiders. We get rid of them, they come back. My husband claimed the latest one was his friend. I had given up the fight as futile, in exchange for not having to do the dishes for a while, when all of a sudden the spider caught a big bug, and spun two egg sacks on it.
Ummm…that mama spider has GOT TO GO! But hubby is away. What am I to do???

We used to snag black widows with electrician’s tweezers, hot glue them to a stick, then barbecue them with hairspray and a lighter.
*POP!*
*HISS!*

Also,
There are these guys who kill bugs professionally… they’re called exterminators. They can even keep the bugs from coming back!

I admit..I have no problem killing off momma and her offspring!!
PC went to ‘take one out’ one day and when he squished her….thousands of little offspring went running off her….everywhere.
Ever since that horrific moment…I am a cold blooded killer.
