Seeing more scorpions. Other night in the kitchen saw one inside a globe light fixture on the ceiling walking around while the light was on. Better than it falling into my food I guess.
getting a bit away from spiders , but was just reading about a ozy stockman in 2007 who got thrown from his horse and woke up in a crocs nest, well up a tree he did go lol, says here surrounded by crocodiles and snakes, forgot how many days he was there 7 or so,he had a ham sandwich and could dart down tree in d/light hours to get fresh water flowing nearby, night time was worse with two sets of eyes that never stopped looking up at him. he used to talk to them saying your not getting me lol yer right. he wrote on a tobacco tin this message.
SURROUNDED BY CROS & SNAKES SEE CHOPPERS EVERYDAY FLYING TO LOW CAN PASS A FOOTY TO THE BLIND PRICKS
LOVE YOU MY SON. he was found in good nick.
Light'em up with a can of WD-40 and a lighter.That's for black widows.
Bit by a lame-grass spider between the fingers and tried to stop the stinging pain by shaking my hand and it didn't go away until I looked at my hand and shook my hand like a mofo and it was gone.I was mowing someone's lawn as a kid making money.Some lame ass spider and didn't bother me for the rest of the day.A bee sting is worst.
After not having a Christmas tree for 10 years,I went to a home depot on a hill called "Signal Hill" in California.It's the place where a world record was broken on a skateboard standing up until they moved to Catalina Island.Well,I bought a tree there and that place is where ALOT of foliage on the surrounding hills and houses are.Two days after bringing the tree home,I see a cobweb on top of the tree and the wall so I thought,fuck this,let me get a can of Raid and spray the top of the tree.Well....no more cobwebs.I think I got it.No more cobwebs.Then after chucking the tree on Jan 15th then about a week later,I went to my bed just to relax and facedown,I felt something come across my back really fast and I used to have long hair but now I don't have long hair.So it wasn't my hair.But I didn't find anything on my white sheet or on the floor.So the next week I was in my living room watching TV and was falling asleep sitting up and my head cocked to the side...I know,funny sleeping that way when you have a bed,BUT, Soon as I woke up,I saw some big ass legs spider running across my lap and onto the floor 3 feet down,it jumps! and I also jumped like a mexican jumping bean and landed right on the spider.And squished it.Could have been a daddy long legs but heck,What's a BIG ONE doing in my Condo ?! I see them daddy's long legs and they cool but this was like 3.5 inches across.
The Raid didn't work ?? Awww hell no...lol
On another subject.
I remember reading the back of the can of Raid and it said,
"It keeps on killing even after they dead"
I told everyone this and they thought it was funny killing something after they are already dead.About a year later,it was in a jay's leno tonight show monologue,I was impressed and flattered. Raid has since changed the words to "kills on contact" ... Too funny!
Well, where I live brown recluse, scorps, widows everywhere. The bug man sprays under the house and everywhere every two months. Works pretty well. Rattlesnakes you just have to be very careful where you stick your hand or feet. They get the shotgun.
I was kayaking once and a big ass tarantula-sized wolf spider was on my leg and the instructor told me just grab it and throw it.......Well I grabbed for it and it ran up my leg and I took a dive into the river.
This other time we were walking in a formation and someone stepped out of formation and started acting crazy then stomped on a black widow. LOL iF you're afraid of a spider why would you get near it?
Ya gonna kill it...it makes silk and can make it a mile long and it would drag its ass bouncing along the forest floor wondering if you're a worthy meal then probably pinch it's silk butt close at the 2 mile mark because dinner was not served.
I like the stuff that can mess you up.. makes life interesting... I got no issues with spiders,scorpions, snakes.... I try and relocate most when they become problematic...I sent a huge black widow tumbling across drive with hose blasts the other day..it lived but I did kill its egg sack and sent it on its way..next rattler I find I am skinning for hat band..nothing personal tho..yeehaw
