To take down THIS!
Umm yes........ imagine my surprise when I walked out of the house into my garage to find a spider the size of a silver dollar just hanging out on the wall? It took the continuous spray of Raid and the direct shots of oven cleaner to take it down 5 minutes later. I'm NOT exaggerating. The black body you can see in the foam. The legs are stretched out in front of it. And just when I thought it was dead, it found some fight left in it and tried to drunk scurry around until it collapsed. I'm sure it was a painful death and for that I'm VERY VERY sorry. I thought of using a shovel but it would have been too loud. I thought about squishing it but really- TOO LARGE and I would have felt it through my shoe. So I'm sorry, Charlotte, you got oven spray and Raid.

This brings back memories of drowning spiders in our basement bathroom (high school days) with half a bottle of Suave shampoo because I couldn't bring myself to squish them. Spiders are gross... and scary... but I usually stand by the position that I will only kill them if they are in my territory (in my house or garage). Of course poisonous spiders or ones that seem extra-ominous get killed too, no matter where they are. Anyway, I digress. I think you are brave for taking this sucker on! It's huge! So glad it died, even if it wasn't pleasant for either of you.
Eew, eew, eew, eew, eeeeewwwww!!!!!!!!! This one literally gave me the willies. Chills up and down my spine. My arm hairs standing on end! EEEWW!!!
NASTY!!!
While we were cleaning out our garage once we found one of those...about that size too.
Anne called me over to make sure it was dead so that she didn't have to take care of it. Thank heavens it had already died.
Sorry about your little spider...and in the morning!! Oh so sorry!!
