That do have some venom but they can't use it on humans, and they eat other insects which will be creeping around your home. |

lay off the drugs, son. |
Brother you need to lay off the drugs if you are digging up threads from 2005. That guy is probably living in another country with two kids and a wife and hasn't logged in for 3 years and you are like heh man lay off the drugs. |

This is a totally true story.
Back when I lived in Seattle, our house was infested with wolf spiders. These suckers where so big, I could hear them crawling on my posters at night.
I was absolutely terrified. I would find them in my bed with me sometimes in the morning.
I went to the doctor to have some bumps on my neck - which I thought were a weird form of acne - checked out.
Son, do you have spiders in your house?  HOLLY SSSSHHHH
The war was on. I started killing them left and right. I torturned them, threatened them. I screamed at them to bring it on!!
Well, they kept coming. So finally, I sat down and had a talk with this one who had recently moved into my bedroom.
Basically I said, "Look, I'll leave you alone on the condition that you leave me alone and tell your friends to stay out."
The conversation was much longer and deeper than that but you get the point.
From that day on not another spider entered my room, and my new roomie and I had a nice long relationship together.
I'M NOT LIEING PEOPLE THIS IS A TRUE STORY.
The moral of the story is that you can try talking to them. It just may work! |

That was a good photo.
I mean given the agitation the photographer had to be feeling, not to mention how those things move, that shot turned out pretty nice.
We had those back in the states too. Once blasted one with Raid at close range. A bunch of legs fell off and twitched while the thing scampered away to die in agony somewhere. |

Man, I'm not lookin' forward to dealing with Korean bugs *shudder*! Not a fan of the insects. At least here in Canada they die off/go dormant in the fall/winter, the upside to living in a cold climate.
For insects, I have a policy of, if they're in my house, they're fair game! |

One of those was in my classroom a couple of weeks ago. The kids were going bananas, actually climbing on the desks to get away, talking about how it's poisonous, etc. I killed it and they burst into applause.
I know how it feels to be a hero. |

| Ah, those house centipedes aren't scary at all. It's the giant centipedes that scare the crap out of me. Just look on google or youtube - you know, they're the ones that can take down a tarantula. When I lived in Hawaii, my dad said that there was a large one somewhere in the house. Well, it crawled inside my dad's friend's motorcycle helmet. His friend got a nasty bite/sting on the back of his neck when his helmet on. |
