Big spider...ick!!!

[gemini9961]

The other day as I getting into the shower and look what I found....a spider!!!!!! A big one!!! Since I live in FL these are not uncommon to be inside lurking around. Needless to say he didn't make it...I killed him. Sorry for all you spider lovers out there but if one crosses my path he becomes a dead one. I could see this guy without my glasses on....ick!!!! I headed for the kitchen to retrieve my trusty spider killing apparatus (a flyswatter, lol) and climbed on the toilet since he was in the top corner of the shower and with one whack killed him in the spot. He fell to the tub where I promptly scooped him up with the flyswatter and flushed him down the toilet. A dead spider is the best kind of spider!!!! Here he is....before I whacked him.

And here he is....after I whacked him.

I had to take pics to show my fiance since he hates them worse than me. Sorry to scare everyone....

LOL!!! I live in Florida remember.......we have lots of creepy crawlies.....this is the 2nd one this big I have killed in my bathroom.

I lived in Florida for awhile and I remember spiders like that but thank goodness I never found one that big in my house!

GROSS!!! I would have freaked out first and then probably waited for hubby to get home to "take care of it", lol, and i would have stayed dirty and not showered!! lol!! Not a fan of the spider.

We had a TON of ear wigs at our old house, and then we got it treated and they never came back...but those things freak me out BIG TIME...i can not stand EAR WIGS!!!

WOW! You saw that thing and you thought to get the camera? I'd be screaming my head off! I don't mind killing spiders . . . small spiders . . .

That was a cool looking spider. Don't forget, spiders eat things like mosquitoes and flies that bite and carry diseases. I would have scooped him/her up and deposited him/her outside.

OOOO, you're a viscious lil thing aren't you? kevin hates them as well, i'm the official spider getter....i don't always kill them, only if i know they are posionous. i used to keep a few in certian spots in the house just to keep all the other creepy crawlers in line. i would just suck up the leftovers with the vacuume. I'll have to show your pics to kevin. I'm sorry, but, sometimes i just can't resist....

ya, that was a cool looking spider.....

I didn't scream because he didn't run......I had to prove to the fiance that the spider was that big...I have gotten pretty good at killing them, sad as it sounds I would die if one crawled over me in bed so I kill them as I see them.

Ok next time I will call you up when I see another one and you can come scoop it up Bring a bucket to scoop it into as the legs are quite long and a regular cup...he might not fit into. As for the mosquitoes....I don't think this one spider will help that issue. We have more than our fair share of mosquitoes in FL.

Little ones don't bother me....I'll let them live. Now ones like this that are as big as my hand...sorry but they gots to go. Poisonous or not..I don't care. There was NO way I was gonna take a shower with HIM in there with ME. Nope not in a million years.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww w!!!

I'm SO glad we don't have big spiders here....but even the ones we do have gross me out

Spiders are cool as heck to look at as long as they're not free roaming anywhere near me. I especially freak out when they drop down on their web from a ceiling fan or something and are hanging there in mid-air. Oh, man, I will do just about anything to smoosh them if they're in my house. I hate that I kill them, but, I can't handle them at all. Eek.
