Wow seriously? You guys are afraid of spiders? I love the little guys. Only ones I kill are Black widows, much like the one that killed the snake there. Spiders actually kill and eat the really nasty bugs, so I like to keep em around.

And btw, the daddy long legs is not very poisonous. That is a common tall tale. Helpful article: Daddy long legs,

Interestingly enough, I didn't know that. However it turns out I was speaking of huntsman spiders which appear even less ferocious than daddy long legs. But my research has left me with granddaddy longlegs, daddy longlegs, and huntsman, all of which seem almost interchangeable depending on where you live.

These are the ones I grew up with and never minded: http://www.backyardnature.net/longlegs.htm

Every other spider dies a hard death around me, usually smashed with a shoe or flat object, then put in a paper towel or toilet paper and squished, then flushed.

Here is the reason I hate spiders..

I went with my girlfriend to my cottage in Northern Wisconsin for a nice weekend. It had been a couple weeks since we had been there and the place is pretty rickety and old, but its one of my favorite places in the world. Anyway, I was trying to get soem lighter fluid, and when I went to reach up and grab the can, a giant Wolf Spider was chilling right on the ledge. Needless to say, I flipped shit. I ran and got the RAID, and Sprayed it.....to no effect. Again with the Raid...again no effect. I figured third times the charm...no luck, it still was moving and looking around. (This was about 5 mins between sprays). Finally I decided that I had enough of the demon spider, and using a broom, flicked it out a window. I proceeded to chase it outside and using a Zippo and the can of raid, BBQ'ed the little bastard. It spent about 3 minutes crawling around, crackling and popping before it died. I had defeated the Demon Spider, but it has forever freaked me out since.

I wouldn't recommend burning spiders. The little shits tend to run off while ablaze and can have a nasty tendency to light other things before they buy the farm.

It was either that or nuke it from orbit, the only OTHER way to be sure...
