i think huntsmen are the will be the worst because you cant exactly stand on em and squish em can you - it would be like trying to kill a farm animal.

Huntsmen spiders are pretty shy critters and last time I checked they didn't eat humans. HONESTLY, they are nothing to worry about. I'd rather have a huntsman around than those other damn web building bastards. I have many memories of night time dashes to the 'shed' at the back of my parent's yard (the old 1/4 acre block) - eagerly anticipating the night's project (building something, working on my 'flying ant' dinghy etc.) only to get a face full of spiderweb halfway down the yard. The few seconds madly spent trying to find the spider in your hair were the worst.....:scared:
If it helps, I was NEVER bitten by one.

If you live in a flat or in a built up complex do you still get spiders or is it just mainly in houses with big gardens out in the countryside?
Totally freaked out now! :scared:
