I'm pretty sure I shit my pants watching that.

No sleep for me :(

Not gonna watch...we get those around here from time to time.

I hated doing computer wiring in old homes. They're mean buggers when disturbed.

they're venomous too aren't they?

yikes

[Richard Cranium]

Yes, they are venomous. A stubborn friend of mine lost his leg and eventually died from a bite. The venom rots the flesh.

Yeah, I'm sure you guys would have no problem at all living in a house infested with thousands of poisonous spiders :tup:

I didn't see thousands of spiders.. I saw another animal planet/discovery channel over dramatization, with loops of the same 3 or 4 spiders crawling on the floor.. Getting to the point where I cant stand their pseudo science crap... They are just trying to tick peoples fears with this mess to peak interest and ultimately sell commercial slots.

Whatever you say Orkin Man :hand:

We have Brown Recluse here in Virginia.. They arent exactly the spiders in Arachnophobia that Noilly makes them out to be... (love ya' Noilly ;) )

I know...love you too Muddy! :) But I have a healthy respect for a spider that if cornered will actually take a run at you. This I've seen firsthand in an old office I was running Cat5 cable in, in a basement that hadn't been opened up for a few years.

And, if you're unlucky and get bitten just once, the scenario that Richard C describes can play out...so I'm staying the hell away, thanks!

Best thing to do with these -- expose the place to VERY bright lights for at least a day. They'll vacate then.

[Muddy]

They definitely are a fan of dark places..

These fuckers here, I will not mess with (even though they arent venomous) :lol:
