Eat it with a bagel.

Or kill it and leave a leg at each possible spider entrance point to your house, warding off other would be house invading spiders :up:
 
Black Widow bites hurt. I got bit by one when I was 13. We had a swimming pool and they would nest right by the pump and one time I was helping my dad do some work on it and WHAM!!! It got me. It felt like someone sticking a knife in your hand and twisting it.
 
Just let it bite you. Maybe it's radioactive and you can gain spider powers. You can be the first Marvel here!
Trust me... Got bit by two spiders over the summer, neither were radioactive.
I'm not sure what type of venom the brown recluse has, but it could cause a body part to fall off if it's bad enough. Get bit on your wrist, say goodbye to your hand... because the venom can eat right through.
 
What is the actual point of these really venomous creatures? Surely they don't need venom that strong?

I have a theory that the entire worlds venomous species will swarm together and wipe man kind out. That is the only logical reason for them having such lethal venom.

Don't quit! The day you let a spider bite the next guy, then they get super powers! :doh:

I'm all for letting spiders that don't have flesh-eating or neurotoxic venom that can kill a human being alive. We need those to kill other annoying pests.
But the giant ass camel spiders and crap like that need to be wiped out, completely.
 
What the heck is a camel spider and where are they?

What planet did they come from?!!? And technically a spider only has 8 legs, that thing has 10. Are they poisonus?
 
Well, for the record, here is what it's bit will do to you or you kids. A warning though, the pics are NASTY!

Knowing this, I'd kill it and call an exterminator. I personally recommend John Goodman.

Camel Spiders are solpugids.. Along with spiders, they are members of the class Arachnida

not technically spiders but they are from the same family. They are said to run on their hind legs and scream.

Most people don't know that the camel spider can also be found in the southwest U.S. and Mexico. In Mexico, they're known as matevenados, which means "deer killers."

1. Camel spiders can move at speeds over 30 MPH, screaming while they run.
2. Camel spiders can be as large as a frisbee.
3. Camel spiders venom is an anesthetic that numbs their prey.
4. Camel spiders can jump three feet high.
5. Camel spiders get their name because they eat the stomachs of camels.
6. They eat or gnaw on people while they sleep. Due to the numbing effect of their venom, the victim is unaware until they awake.

Weren't those big ones being held by the soldiers debunked as fake? I'm 99% sure they were, they don't get anywhere near that big.

WTF!!! :huh: They on youtube? I think I'll go and look.
 
Oh well **** that ****! I'd take great pleasure in killed them brutally.

But do they really run at 30 mph and scream? :(

I'm so arachnophobic that I already have trouble sleeping at night because of them. I got bit in my sleep twice over the summer in a one week period.
Now I imagine they're everywhere...:dry::dry:
 
That one that's in that email? I 'unno if they get THAT big. Or if it's even the same creature.
 
Yea the one with the soldiers is a camera trick, the spiders are actually really close to the camera.
