Spider phobias are really very easy to treat.

You don't get funnel webs in Queensland.

Redbacks are really shy, honest.

What if you have a car accident and die ( like almost happened to me today)
What if you get burgled and the robber see you and rapes you then kills you.
What if you fall over and hit your head and end up like a vegetable.
What if
What if
What if
**** what ifs. I have lived in Oz for 34 years and still alive and not killed by a spider, nor do I know of anyone, shit I reckon even Abc would have to do a bit of a search to find someone that has.

Haven't seen a single spider in the garden, just ants and the odd cane toad.

If she's only seen that many in 40 years, either they aren't so much of a problem there, she walks around with her eye's closed or she's got some really good s*** that keeps them away.

i dont want to go.
Are you out of your mind, get a grip girl.

I hate spiders too, but i'll have to accept they are there and get on with things. Easier said than done, but I dont want my fear of spiders to make decisions for me.

Get yourself a decent fly/spider spray and everything is under control if you dont want to evict them. That and if you want to go completely over the top let off "bombs" in the house regularly which kill everything whilst your away for a day or have it professionally sprayed.

Honestly - its nothing to worry about. I was totally scared of spiders. Now I have been known to evict them from the property once in a while - Brave I am

bombs!!!! they sound like a bit of a laugh!!

Too bad.

Seriously, get a brick house and have it sprayed. No spiders. And just in case they do come in, buy a couple of tins of Mortein, they don't like that
