There's got to be somewhere you can take it where they can identify it.

[SeattleMariners51445]

Jeez, are you finding them or are they finding you?:eek:

[mikedanger]

SWEET JEBUS! you need to move!

[bcc24]

time to move bro :eek::eek:

[JayDouble]

Aracnophobia man, just watch out for the queen. :p

[BIGMAC2570]

keep them as pets.... you might be able to go to the call the local school, or pest control place...

take it into 1 of them and show them, tell them you need something to spray tp get rid of them..they'll identify it and tell you what you can do to keep them from coming around.

[Superman16343]

Ahhhhhhhhhhh I'd be outta there.

[otter05]

I thought the rule is the smaller the spider the more dangerous. But those are nasty!!!!

[Ben Vance]

Gives me chills

[domejohnny]

Wolf Spider I believe...we get them every so often too....just be glad it isn't a female with hundreds of babies attached to it's back...

[AS251BR]

Took a quick look and it looks like it's a Huntsman spider?

[snedden001]

just make sure they aren't Brown recluse. Those can cause the worst bites i've ever seen. Google it. I would probably start calling exterminators and getting quotes. Finding one could be simple luck, finding 2 probably means infestation. I have a guy that comes every spring and sprays outside and inside the house. I never have bug issues. I also get my house sprayed for carpenter bees and wasps, which greatly decreases the number of buzzers flying around. Also, if you have mulch up against your house in your flower beds, try moving it out a foot and adding gravel against the foundation. That can get rid of alot of bugs.

The bad news is that's the one he hasn't found yet! Eight legged freaks! Man, I hate 'em.

I don't think you would find a Huntsman spider in Colorado, I could be wrong, but I think they tend to be tropical....I am about 98% it's a wolf spider...they are all over the place...

[domejohnny]

The bad news is that's the one he hasn't found yet! Eight legged freaks! Man, I hate 'em.

I hear ya...my back yard is basically full of Black Widows...heh, my wife won't even go out there.

[CoolinLA]

Looks like a wolf spider (Lycosidae).

[Gaucho]

Inside the house? :eek:
How are they getting in? are they ringing the doorbell and saying they're the pizza man? :p

[domejohnny]

Here's a pic of Wolf Spider - they vary in color but I'm almost positive it's what you have...

[domejohnny]

Unlocked doors :)

[Pack_Man]

I'm pretty sure it's a Wolf Spider. They're common and not very harmful. If bitten, itching and a little swelling will occur. The only reason they're coming into your house is because its hot outside. I wouldn't worry about it.

You know on average, you're never 3 feet away from a spider. ;)

[mikedanger]

I wouldn't worry about it.

what?! can you actually see that picture? i don't give a **** if that thing farted rainbows...i'm gonna be worried about it!

[animal _x_ca]

BYE BYE , I WOULD BE MOVING

[edge32]

i HATE spiders........they freak me out just looking at them!!

[rob3291]

Wolf Spider I believe...we get them every so often too....just be glad it isn't a female with hundreds of babies attached to it's back...

Yeah, what he said!!

[Zildjian]

As 90% of us said the last time you posted.... that is a wolf spider. Nothing to worry about, it actually helps you by eating the bad insects. Just catch him and release him outside, preferably by a wood pile or tree.

[Thorondor 33]

Inside the house? :eek:
How are they getting in? are they ringing the doorbell and saying they're the pizza man? :p

And then first thing you know they are sleeping on your couch, eating all your food, leaving wet towels on the floor, using your computer all the time, and you are forced to trap them with a glass to get them out. Spiders are the worst friends ever. :p

[CoolinLA]

A good shot of Raid usually does the trick.

[Addicted 2 Collecting]

I hate frickin spiders, I would move.

[Voodoo Chylde]

Yep, them is Wolf Spiders. They're usually not aggressive, but they can be curious i.e., they will investigate your shoes if you let them. The painfulness and reactiveness of their bite depends of the person just like most venomous insects; the more sensitive you are to the venom, the greater the reaction.

Personally, I like spiders because they eat bugs and I HATE bugs. Unless it's a Widow or a Brown Recluse, I'll usually just catch it and take it outside.

[GMLBFan]

Farted rainbows? That made me laugh...:)

[Thorondor 33]

Ditto. I have not killed a spider in years. I just scoop them up with a piece of paper and drop them outside.

[sigep001]

My dad always says that spiders are good to have around because they eat bugs.






I think my dad is full of ****.

[quiggle]

yah! congrats on finding another...hopefully it didn't share the same fate as the first one

[Gaucho]

LMAO!!! :p:eek::p

That's the funniest thing I've heard in weeks!

[Gaucho]

They want to just stay the night, then it turns into a couple of weeks, they eat all of your 'good' junk food that you hide away and they find it, they wear your favorite Journey t-shirt, sleep with your girlfriend... oops, what are we talkin about again? :p;):D

dude.. he just got me too... im crackin up here at work.. it was real funny cause i was scrolling down and havent seen the second sentence til i read the first one..

[sting6996]

We see wolf spiders all the time,but never that big!

When I was a kid,I would catch all kinds of bugs ina ziplock bag and put them in my parents freezer for my mom to find later.Now Im teaching my kids to do the same thing.:D

[sting6996]

what?! can you actually see that picture? i don't give a **** if that thing farted rainbows...i'm gonna be worried about it!

I thought only Cubs fans farted rainbows?Fruity North Siders!

Are your parents going to trap you with a glass Thor?:D:p

[lion4life]

Sometimes they're even closer than you think...

Harrumph. :mad: :p

[Thorondor 33]

I heard than on average 10 spiders enter and exit your mouth as you sleep. I do not know how they figure it.

[trustno1]

Had a piece of equipment from Texas show up on a job. Inside the crate was a female black widow spider. I got a very big mayonnaise jar from the kitchen, put sand in the bottom, and a few sticks sticking up out of the sand, and kept her in my warehouse trailer. Fed her moths, and she laid two egg sacs.

When the job was done another worker took her to the Etymology Dept. at the University of Alberta where they gladly accepted her. They said it was fairly rare for a black widow to have two egg sacs at the same time.

Oh, the good old days.

What did you name her?

[domejohnny]

You make it sound like they are easy to catch and release....those Wolf Spiders can move pretty damn fast if they want to. But, too damn big to step on...it's like stepping on a kitten.

[ewto16]

I would have done 4 things (not necessarily in order):

Killed it
Moved
Pooped myself
Screamed

[Spawnomite]

That thing would've freaked me out if I found that in my house. What did you do with the spider?

[rdjohnso]

W-T-F, where do u live in CO? Do I need to worry?

[Mack]

I hear ya...my back yard is basically full of Black Widows...heh, my wife won't even go out there.

Same here.... absolutely hate it :o

[WAKAUB]

That thing would've freaked me out if I found that in my house. What did you do with the spider?

I cought him, put him in a jar, and put some saran wrap over the top of the jar and made a lot of holes and fed him a couple of flys so far with a little bit of water. I am waiting till my girlfriends younger brother gets back from school to show him. I named him "the destroyer" haha because he instanly got a hold of the flys and mauled them both. Now he is lickin his chops.

[PAUL GROSS]

Im iching as we speak. Thanks alot, for the next week I'll be looking all over my house for these damn things. My neighbor showed me the scar he had from getting bit by a recluse. Messed me up for about a month. My GF had to add that its known for some spiders to actually lay their eggs in a persons body. She said she knew a girl that it happened to. Went to the doctor & the doctor lanced the bump. And little baby spiders came out. Damn near punched her in the face for telling me that. Were not as close as we used to be.

[WAKAUB]

W-T-F, where do u live in CO? Do I need to worry?

I live in erie, which is right by thornton.

[mbv123]

My wife got bit by a brown recluse spider years ago at lake havasu in Arizona...hasn't been the same since,and developed fibromyalgia from the bite.

[Spawnomite]

It would not have been Spideromite? ;) :pHA-HA. Silly wabbit. :D

[trevisw513]

GET your house sprayed TODAY, man i hate spiders...

[Spawnomite]

Now he is lickin his chops.Dude, that's frickin cool. I find Black Widow Spiders all the time around my house. I just kill them though. I take no chances with those suckas.

[BurningSoul]

Wolf spider or not, I would have left the premises and have the house napalmed.

[quiggle]

what is it that gives some of you the jeebies about spiders? look those things aren't even the size of your palm, what do you think the spider feels when it sees something100xs its size

[habs98]

They say spiders are good because they eat the other insects. I never kill them, usually throw them outside. But in your case I can understand if you accidentally smashed them!!!!!

[domejohnny]

what is it that gives some of you the jeebies about spiders?

In NY, I never cared....out in Nevada now, I just never know what's poisonous and what isn't...so I don't like any bugs out here. For the record, I did have a wolf spider in the house in NY once....have had a bunch out here in NV...it's just that I don't wish to ever see something that large in my house if it isn't paying rent!

[oaktown2000]

...we get them every so often too....just be glad it isn't a female with hundreds of babies attached to it's back...


Maybe it was the female with hundreds of babies attached to it's back.

She just happened to drop them all off before WAUKAB caught her :D

Ouch, that's mean.... :)

Shouldn't you be killing palmetto bugs!

[favrefan#4]

I was told that hedge apples repel spiders. Get you a couple and cut them up put them in your basement and by a few windowsills and try it. Can't hurt.

I love this thread. Funny stuff.

Spiders are yucky.

[daboltz]

I feel faint! :D

[Flieler]

i know EXACTLY what kind of spider that is.

it's the kind you hit with a bat.

repeatedly

because if he get's up after the first one, you should leave

[GOD ALL MIGHTY]

this may help.. Just ask Kim. He's a Spider Wizard

LMAO!!!!!!!!!! Priceless post! You do have to admit though if it did fart rainbows that would kick ass!

[ChargerChris]

Another one??? I'd be OUTTA THERE!!!

[GoStars]

I keep checking my feet for spiders while im looking at your picture.
I would move

[SeattleMariners51445]

I killed a spider using Lysol because it was the only weapon I had in the bathroom besides my bare foot or hand. Seriously that stuff apparently posions them and either stuns them or kills them right away.

[SeattleMariners51445]

I keep checking my feet for spiders while im looking at your picture.
You can feel it if there's a spider on your foot, trust me.:eek:

[biteyahard]

My house has a family of geckos climbing all over the place. My girl hates them but I know they eat all the stuff that would really scare her! ;)

My grandparents and parents' cats used to eat geckos when they lived in Florida.

Dayam Mike, farted rainbows...that's freakin' hilarious! You got me crying over here! Classic!

Yep, that's the food chain, geckos kill spiders, cats kill geckos, dogs kill cats, Michael Vick kills dogs..............:eek:

[shopson1]

...and Bubba has Vick for dinner.

[rsoaker23]

I feel faint! :D

Feel Faint? I did faint once..was sitting on a love seat and saw something out of the corner of my eye..it was a BIG daddy long leg..i stood up and fell face first into a coffee table...looked exactly like Chris Farley's Saturday nite live skit...I'm a total wuss with spiders:(

[SGT Angry]

just make sure they aren't Brown recluse.

Those are way bigger then a Brown Recluse. If you look it up you'll see that both the Recluse and the Black Widow are pretty close in basic size (obviously they are shaped differently).

ANYWAY, man, seeing something that big in my house would freak me out! I'm glad I'm up high and don't get too many big ones...

[Amonte]

damn, that is just freaky!! I got the heebee jeebees now! I'm gonna be scanning my floors, walls and ceilings for days now .. ack!!!

[BigMOCats]

Great, guess I'll be waking up tonight in a cold sweat!!!

[BurningSoul]

Yeah, a recluse and widow are basically the size of a quarter to 50 cent piece with legs extended. A recluse also has a violin shaped marking on it and we all know the black widow has a red or orange hour glass marking.

But that thing you have is demonic.

[tmscout98]

Wakaub are you in Colorado? What part?


Definitely those are not recluse. Recluse are pretty small........and reclusive. :p They actually ball-up when you get near them.



I heard than on average 10 spiders enter and exit your mouth as you sleep. I do not know how they figure it.

I'll never sleep again. :(


What about those people that snore? I can see some sort of cartoon thing going on where the spider goes in your mouth on the inhale and then sort of floats above your mouth on the exhale trying to hold on.

[tmscout98]

Tarantula Bro. I didn't think they existed up in CO, but: http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/insect/05512.html

Wakaub are you in Colorado? What part?

I live in Erie. Right next to Thornton.

[Voodoo Chylde]

I remember these "little" beauties from Jungle Survival training. They're called Banana Spiders (Brazilian Wandering Spider) and they are not only the deadliest spider in the world according to Guinness, they are very aggressive. I've seen these things literally jump on grown men!

http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j318/eddiefreeman1969/Wanderingspider.jpg




Not to be confused with these Banana Spiders (Nephilia) which are relatively harmless and are here in North America.

[Poochiesdead]

Man that top one is uuuuuuuuuuugly.

[Mozam]

I don't know what kind of spiders they are but watch that one, it appears to be stealing money from you. :D

[Voodoo Chylde]

Man that top one is uuuuuuuuuuugly.

Yep, and some get as big as dinner plates when they spread their legs out. They get even uglier when they're jumping at you or chasing you!

This is what they do to let you know they're pissed and about to break you off a piece. Only creature I've ever seen that will "put it's hands up" against something 40 times it's size.
