    This is why people get cats. Now I think I need some. Sheesh. I'd never go in there otherwise.

    I just saw the worst fear hashtag thingy on Twitter and wasn't sure what mine was. Now I know.

    That's so gross, also glad our Manitoba winters don't allow many creepy crawlies. And 2 of my 3 dogs LOVE killing spiders :D (and eating them most of the time)

    I'm NOT watching that. :|
    I don't think I could handle it given some of the things that have happened in my house.

    But I am gonna sit back and enjoy the comments. =))

    Although, I must say, fox 4 is the local channel in my home town... It IS really freaking bad there and surrounding areas.

    I'd probably have to burn the house down - no way could I live in that shit! I need a shower now...

    I just moved out of a house that was infested with spiders. Not just any spiders, but brown recluse spiders. Landlords wouldn't do a damn thing about it!

    @French_Mom I lived in QC for 7 years and we had HUGE spiders! Every fall it would get soooo bad with them in the house :( Not that it's any better now that we're in the midwest... they're fucking huge here too. and POISONOUS!

    I just recently moved into a big old house. I am very afraid of spiders, and I have been spotting some lately that have nearly given me a damn heart attack. I have never seen any like them. They are big, brown, ones that appear to come from nowhere. I need to find something to get rid of them, before I pack my shit and move...lol

    I had to watch this video because everyone in my family is afraid of spiders except me.  I sent it to my 16 yo daughter to watch since every morning she has me check the shower for spiders before she will get in.

    Wow... I am new here and just watched the video... I lived in an old farm house that had an infestation of wolf spiders in the basement...fortunately, they pretty much stayed down there...unfortunately, my washer and dryer were in the basement. I am so terrified of spiders that I seriously lose my breath and have nearly lost conciousness a few times. I would be calling an exterminator and sending the property management the bill for that and the hotel stay until it was safe to return home. I would rather sleep in a tent than in a house that is infested with spiders of any kind! I feel sorry for those people and I hope that the situation has been resolved since the initial posting.

    Jesus cartwheeling christ! I'm so glad right now that our infestation is just fucking ladybugs.

    seriously, it's a problem around here.

    Oh fuck that. As a landlord I'd be mortified if that was my house and on that shit right away.

    When I was in NC a couple of weeks ago, there these sheds out behind the building. They were about 10 feet apart. The first morning we go out there to smoke, there is a FUCKING SPIDERWEB built completely across the first 10-ft span - there was a spider in the middle the size of a fucking dessert plate. Because I was with a bunch of guys, I couldn't scream like a bitch and run (I sort of scuttled to the other end, OH MY ISN'T THE VIEW OF THE PARKING LOT NICE TODAY), but even THEY were like, holy shit! That's a big motherfucker!! I couldn't take a pic because I didn't want to get within 20 feet of it, and next time I came out someone had knocked it all down. Note to self: never fucking live in NC.

    I can't watch it. We stopped by my BIL's house last weekend and he had the tv on. Hubs asked "whatcha watching?" BIL: Arachnaphobia. ME: NO NO NO NO NO as I run from the room.
    I cannot deal, I just can't.
