And what do you think is gonna happen to all those spiders? Think they will all live, grow up and breed? NO!! Most of the batch will probably be gone in a couple of months!

That's how Mother Nature deals with overpopulation, which is fine and it works unless YOU are one of the overpopulators who is eliminated!

I am not afraid of spiders but I sure don't want them in my house!

A few years ago I saw a big fat spider on the kitchen floor. I was
going to do my usual thing - slide a piece of cardboard under it and
trap it under a plastic cup and toss it outside. Except the moment I
jolted it literally hundreds of teensie baby spiders swarmed off its
back! Okay, *that* freaked me out so out came the bug spray.

My son was here the other day and showed me the remnants of a spider
bite he had recently, along with some photos of it at its worst. I was
pretty nasty.

The brown recluse is horrific in its effects. Tissue necrosis can be
extensive,completely killing flesh clear to the bone. Fortunately,
I've never seen one (that I know of).

I'm not afraid of spiders, intellectually, but they plain give me the
creeps and I'll do most anything to avoid them. I was surprised to
see black widows have no problem surviving the snowy Rockies at 8K ft.

I don't mind spiders but I hate what we used to call Bombay Runners,
cockroaches that abounded in Hong Kong, nearly as big as a small crab
and when you turned on the light at night, you could hear them
scuttle. You always turned on the light so they would scuttle, it
was even worse if you stepped on one, they sort of snapped and all
this white oozy stuff went on your foot.

I have a large spider phobia for sure. I read late at night in bed and
I've had one of those fast moving fuzzy ones climb right on my bed,
across my book, the right at me. Talk about waking up very fast, oh
man. I hit the ceiling and if I don't kill it right off and it runs
away, I'll sleep in the living room on the couch until I can find and
kill it the next day.

I did get a spider bite at night one time on my inner thigh. I tried
to heal it for about a month before I finally went to the doctor. He
figured it was a brown recluse. Their poison will destroy your tissue
and won't heal. I got anti-biotics as a cream for the bite area and
also anti-b pills to swallow. He said we'll treat this from both
ends...exterior and interior.

Palmetto bugs are bad enough. I think we had some of those things she's
talking about in Bangkok. If they're the same thing, they can fly, too.
Downright creepy.

They didn't attack or bite but were so unpleasant. It also meant that
if you thought you had spilled anything they would consider edible on
your clothes, it must be washed before it went in the closet.
Otherwise, next time you took it out, there was a hole I had a
dress my mother loved and I hated, can you guess the Runners destroyed
it?

Black widows used to be very common here but strangely I've not seen one
in years. Maybe I'm not observent enough. In any case, even when they
were often seen, I never saw one in the house.

I saw a big spider on the wall next to my patio door several months ago.
Very large, but not a tarantula. Maybe a brown recluse? Didn't see it
again.

Brown recluse spiders are rarely seen. In the southern US they tend to
hide under rocks outside. But they do come inside. They hide in dark
spaces. They are brown, with long legs. They have a violin shape on
their back.

Ever see a black widow with the red hour-glass on her back? The brown
recluse has a violin.

Their bites are very poisonous. The venom causes necrosis, which means
it is acide that eats away at the flesh. If you don't go to a doctor
right away your flesh dies. It can be very bad.

Am I afraid of spiders? Nope. I know enough to go to a doctor if I let
one bite me. No spiders in my house.

I have had a lizard in the house. That was fun, what with the cat and
all. :-D

Brown recluse spider bites are worse than anything could be done by a
black widow. The venom from a brown recluse gets necroptic very fast.

All I could imagine was even half of those those hundreds of tiny
spiders growing up to be a big as momma spider, taking over the house.
No thanks!

Many years back I had a couple of argiopes (aka writing spiders) spin
huge webs, one on each side of the patio doors. Gorgeous big black &
yellow garden spiders. Quite pretty! Just stay outside, please.

I read about a woman that was bitten by a brown recluse, she lost both arms and both legs.

You might want to check out Snopes for that one.
I was bitten by one once. Your immediate tissues won't heal without
some doctor attention but that story sounds very bogus to me.

If she didn't see a doctor at all until waaaaay later, I suppose it's
possible. But hey, even without insurance who would let it get to that
point?

I saw the results of a brown recluse bite when I was at a doctor's
office back in TN. The guy was waiting in the area near the checkout as
I was leaving. He had a big ugly, oozing infected area on his calf
about the size of a half dollar and I heard the nurse tell the doc
"spider bite". It looked pretty gross.
