Ewww....startign to feel itchy *scratches*

DrIndy · 15-05-2005 11:37PM

I'd be scared too, scorpions are very dangerous. They like warm moist places and like to hide inside shoes and under quilts. You don't know they are there until they sting you when you move your feet around under the quilt.....

I'd watch out for fire ants too http://www.dpi.qld.gov.au/fireants/.

The spider you're talking about sounds like one me and my brother found in our kitchen late last year. Similar size to what you described and when my brother went to trap it, it reared up like it was gonna defend itself!
was seriously freaky

we had lots of fun trying to figure out how to get it out

i wud have hoovered it up LOL !

Kevin_rc_ie · 15-05-2005 11:47PM

Just lay eggs in your vacuum cleaner bag. They'd hatch and eat their way out then seek their revenge.

jezza · 15-05-2005 11:50PM

guys sumof us would like to sleep tonight,
they arent as bad as fish tho. or mice.
but still freaky

What's with the surprises of seeing them? I always see spiders in my house. I even find them dangling out of me sometimes. You should just go out into a field of long grass, lie down, close your eyes in the sun and let insects crawl all over you. It will probably help. Their just trying to get over to the other side.

Just let them be!!

Irish-trucker · 15-05-2005 11:53PM

would they not die from the vacuum ?? lol

anyways if it was a big un' the hoover bag would be in the bin pronto!

Kevin_rc_ie · 15-05-2005 11:54PM

Still so many people with an irrational fear of spiders. I think you should all take some positive steps to conquering your "phobias". I'd say a lot of the fear is based on nonsense. (like he'll climb in my ear and eat my brain)

sometimes its alot harder to get over a phobia, even if you want to, still freak as soon as you see what you are trying to get over.
I think there is a massive difference between being afraid of something (hell climb in my ear) and having a phobias which dont always have a rational explanation.

Aw crap, after reading this thread I decided to have a look around my house and found this nesting there. I must be infested with the feckers.

I was looking through my closet and I found a jumper I hadn't worn in months. I put it on but my back felt itchy, I took off my jumper thinking it was the tag but to my surprise out jumped a camel spider and ran across my bedroom floor.

Funny, summer before last we had a few big spiders in our house, about five inches across and standing about 2 inches high. I saw the first one while going up to bed after everyone else was asleep, I sat up all night watching the door in case it came near me. My dad thought I was full of sh*t until he found the thing, said it took three thumps of a boot before it actually ...eh...crunched. *shudder*

We rang a few pest control people, and they said there was no way a spider in Ireland were that big. So we killed one, stuck it in a box, and posted it off. They said it wasn't an Irish spider, and not to send any more.

I'm deathly afraid of spiders, and these lads were the last straw in an already fairly spider infested house, I didn't go home for about four months.

I just checked my room and found a fecking scorpion in the corner

look --> :eek:

Apparently his name is bosco and he's the reason i throw a cricket into a heated tank every few days

Makaveli · 16-05-2005 12:27AM

You have to watch out, at night they wait til you fall asleep and then spin a web across your face and you suffocate. So remember not to sleep.

*Angel* · 16-05-2005 12:31AM

Many is the time I've had to stay up all night cos there was a spider in my room and no one to get rid of it, now with all these images of huge spiders in my head the chances that I'm gonna be able to sleep tonight are pretty damn slim, I'm really that bad...and this may sound really sad but I hate the fact that they have such power over me...I start shaking and can actually get hysteric if a spider comes near me or if I see one.

Caesar_Bojangle · 16-05-2005 12:33AM

If you're that bad, throw a towel over the spider.

Get a dog, the dog will eat the spider. Or deal with it yourself.

DrIndy · 16-05-2005 12:37AM

Smaller ones sometimes crawl up your nose or down your throat. Its worse when they go up your nose, because you can't get them out and they just keep getting pushed back until they get into your throat.

Then they sting you and crawl into your lungs. :eek:

This happened to me. It was terrifying.

Scorpions are much worse though. They come over on transatlantic shipping, hiding in the containers and then in trucks around the country. In the warmer weather we have now, they survive.

They are VERY fond of dark, moist places and beds are seriously their preference.

Remember NEVER move your feet around while in bed. For that matter don't move your hands either........

Yeah too right, they are well renowned for eating through towels and clothes.
