All spiders are venomous, but only a few are capable of harming people. A wolf spider is not dangerous to humans.
|
|
No, but they do give a painful bite. I had to kill him(her), kids play in the yard often. Felt bad though. |
|
|
Neat! 1 Wolf Spider will keep your garage free of other less savory critters.
|
|
Did you blade to 45 degrees and disengage?
I hate that saying so thought I would throw it in on your thread. |
|
wolf spiders are fuckin' cool!
the only arachnids i waste on sight are black widows, all the rest are free to carry on... |
|
You need to put a warning on the thread title before Dr.Fridge wanders in here by mistake.
|
|
yeah, but I have a jeep project going on where am under the vehicle a lot, didn't relish the idea of a close encounter with that! |
|
|
|
|
|
No, but I did feel like screaming like a little girl! |
|
|
My title would have been "This guy chased me out of the garage at 1:00 am."
|
|
There would have been no bad feelings on my part. Eliminate with extreme prejudice. |

Perfectly harmless and was doing you a favor by eating much nastier bugs when you evicted him. Poor fella.
|
|
Believe me, he is far more interested in avoiding you. Besides, he's going to be holed up in the darkest, dampest corner in the place. |

|
Man you must have a very good camera!!! My "spider" policy is if their in my living space I kill them, if they are not I leave them alone, good kill
|
|
That just made me rethink my move to TX. I thought the giant roaches were bad. hinking.gif
|
|
I saw one when I was about 12 or 13 in the basement about that size, I ran out screaming like a little girl. |
||
|
I know I thought that too. |
|
|
It's not that bad, we are a bit on the edge of rural. Established city neighborhoods are pretty tame. |

Mckinney, north of Dallas. |

Like the holes in the frame of a jeep or behind the spare tire or on a cross member. |

Dammit Plano here. |

Actually that was just my backup, the older 2 megapixel Canon A60 with Macro mode on, my main, the 6 megapixel Canon S3, had dead batteries. If I had not found it under my Jeep that I crawl under daily (restoration project) I would have let him live. I wish I had relocated him out to the wood, but he moved too fast to capture, so I sprayed him with Orange-guard. |
|
|
And there are webs under there, too. Believe me, I wear thick gloves! Now where was that ad for the pressure washer that was on sale at home depot.... |

I'll send you the carcass if you want. |

My wife and I keep all spiders alive in our house, unless it's either 1: a brown recluse or black widow, or 2: in our bed.
Jumping spiders and wolf spiders are the best to keep in the house, because they are territorial, and they both hunt other, bad spiders. Brown recluses are not territorial, they can be almost like a colony. Use other spiders to keep them in check. |

|
so he is hiding at an Obama campaign rally? |
|||
|
Yeah, killing spiders doesn't make me feel bad even a little. Where I live, it's you or the critters. |

|
|
|
The women folk in my household would have my head if I did that! |
|
|
I would take a black widow any day over a brown recluse With that being said, fire is your friend |
|
|
We had fuckers like that in the basement of our old house. Occasionally the bastards would jump on you and scare the living shit out of you. I was a kid when we lived there and still hate them with a passion till this day. ugh...............

There is NO D in Frige! [/Doc Frige] |
|
|
I check my shoes every morning after finding one of those in there a couple years back.
|
|
And damn hard to masturbate to. TXL |
|
|
I'm OK around spiders unless they're crawling on me, then I freak the fuck out. Same way with most insects. Must be the barbed feet.
|
|
Richardson. I'll be sleeping a little less soundly from now on. |

Next time you go in the yard at night bring a flashlight and sweep the perimiter. Thay are one of the few spiders who's eyes glow, by glow I mean reflect light not glow (sorry no zombie spiders.) Down here by Lubbock if I stand outside I can probably see at least 30
