Huntsman needed
#31
I'm probably better off not knowing these things. Let them sail by my head, as long as they don't land on me
I know no-one has died from a spider bite for years in Oz, but has anyone died of "Spider Fright", I could be the first recorded case should a huntsman (or any other large spider) decide to parasail onto me.

Nooooo!
Spiders do not spread disease.
You can actually kill a spider if needs be (though you shouldn't need to)
If you cut 2 cockroaches in half you can put the wrong head back on each body and they will still be ok
In fact they can still live for a while with no head
They can survive a nuclear war
they are spawn of the devil and YOU CAN'T KILL THEM

Its just that I can handle walking up to a roach and crushing it under me flip flop. There is no chance of me doing that to a mahoosive spider!!!

The photos of the kids and the roaches is brilliant
But what I really like is the kid behind who is holding out her hands in excited expectation. Do you think this kid will come and live with me? She could capture those roaches for me and I could take the critters to a secret place for special treatment!

hahah this thread is genious. when we get to oz i'm going to end up chuckling to myself at the thought of parasailing cockroaches when i open the bedroom door and men in white suits with gas bombs. although, now i've just read that back to myself i get the feeling the men in the white suits might actually be after me hahaha.

You can have mine no problem....
I nearly fainted this morning when I went to put washing out....A big bastard hairy monster was on the wall.
My washing is now in the dryer.

I think even your 12 yr old will be phased by a large huntsman they have to be seen to be believed...

My younger boys (12, 10 and 7) are little gems, even if they aren't too keen on removing a spider or anything like that, they will always try to do it rather than it frightening the life out of me, and if they can't reach then they shout their dad to do it instead.

I hate cockroaches. We've recently had 2 BIG flying cockroaches in our house, & loads of baby ones (16 in the bath one day which I think are coming up through the plug hole) not to mention the other bugs! The house had been empty for months. We bug bombed the entire house. You have to leave the house for 2 hours, when we returned it was like bug cemetery! Goodness knows where they'd been hiding
