There's a huge spider hiding in my house, like the size of an apple, a REALLY BIG apple.

Normally I woudln't be totally freaked out, but this one was a female and she had the egg-sack-THINGY on her back.

which is gross beyond all levels of explanation, btw.

But now I'm all panicky, I have no idea where she went and I don't want those disgusting little monsters to hatch in my house, or anywhere within 1000ft of me.

Halp, I iz scuured.

Would you happen to have a rake on hand? Then you could try to pick it up and fling it outside. Of course, you may want to check if it's poisonous first.

[Gabs 0]

I don't even know where it went.

I saw it, screamed, tried to find the spray and then it was gone o.o

[randomfan 0]

Well, that's good...somewhat. At least you don't have to deal with it now.

[Gabs 0]

Not good.

I can't wont sleep. not with being paranoid that it's going to crawl on me.

I'ma die

If it had an egg sack, the eggs could hatch into hundreds or thousands of baby spiders. On a more positive note, if it was as big as you say it was, it probably isn't poisonous. Larger insects are less likely to be poisonous than smaller insects.

Still, you should probably call an exterminator or something. If those eggs hatch, you'll never be rid of them.

Could you make out any details of the spider besides the fact that it was big? Any hair or markings?

o.e

oh GOD.

now I know I'm not going to sleep

for like...a week...or a month....screw it. I'm moving if I don't find and murder that bug tonight.

oh and Ivo;

All I could see is it was brown with like reddish brown rings on its legs.

it was grosssss.

If I see the damn thing I'm beating it with a drumstick >.>

Would either of these be the culprit? The one above, the Wolf Spider, is known to run around with the egg-sac. The one beneath it seems to fit your description more closely.

Is this similar to your big bad spiderman?

If so, what you've got is a wolf spider. I wouldn't worry about it. They're more outdoorsy, it's unlikely it'll hatch its eggs in your house. A little note on toxicity, taken from Wikipedia;

Wolf spiders will inject venom freely if continually provoked. Symptoms of their venomous bite include swelling, mild pain and itching. Though usually considered harmless to humans, the bite of some species may be painful. In the past, necrotic bites have been attributed to some South American species, but further investigation has indicated that those problems that did occur were probably actually due to bites by members of other genera. Australian wolf spiders have also been associated with necrotic wounds, but careful study has likewise shown them not to produce such results.

It's not that bad, compared to our good ol' Aussie spiders. :3

Red-backs and funnel webs are lolful.

[Aethix 129]

Sounds like a tarantula to me.

[Gabs 0]

It's not a tarantula, I've had a pet one of those before, they don't scare me.

this thing was just gross and horrifying beyond words,

Ivo, it's more like the second one only darker and 50,000,000,000 times uglier

if the spider was really that big i can only guess you'r in australia (or some other far south country). fortunatly i know how to get rid of it in four

(semi)easy steps

step1 make a working replica powder keg

step2 place the keg somewhere near the center of the house

step3 lite the fuse and run for the everloveing hills

step4 move to somewhere where its colder like canada because trust me, spiders are not a big problem here

btw the ingredients for apowder keg are a large barrel a reeeeeaaaaaally long fuse and enough gunpowder to fill the barrel near full (gunpowder is made out of charcoal, saltpeter and sulfur)

i hope this helps (although i guess it is a bit extreme)

[Gabs 0]

Uh, yeah, only slightly extreme O.o

I mean, I got the name boomie cause I like making things go boom.

But I kind of don't want the place I live in going boom x.x

I don't even know where it went.

I saw it, screamed, tried to find the spray and then it was gone o.o
