Raylan Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Still kind of shook up, had to use my new cowboy pistol to kill in self defense. It all happened so suddenly and unexpectedly. I look over and there is a large spider and I grab the pistol and brought the butt down on the spider. But I didn't stun him, no I smushed him. It's a hell of a thing, killing a bug. You take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have. Called an attorney and making a statement to the Peta police now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailrider #896 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 If you are upset over killing a BUG, forget it! Spiders are NOT bugs; they are arachnids (eight legs)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Geez, Raylan! I killed a spider that saw me naked in the shower last night and it only took a Kleenex to finish him/her off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Saw one this morning on the porch of one of the new homes here. With the legs, about the diameter of a half-dollar. Just stompped my foot on the porch and it dove for cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylan Posted October 2, 2019 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 After dry firing up the stairs to bed I spied a spider on the wall next to my head Lifting my pistol I smashed it dead. Allie Mo - If a spider were to see me naked in the shower, I'm sure that alone would kill him dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 It's fall. They're coming in. Right now the Yankee North (I'm halfway between the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Cedar Point, just south of the soggy south shore of Lake Erie) is experiencing a heat wave, but temps are supposed to drop in the not too distant. When that happens, expect an influx of critters, including pill bugs and spiders. I've been haunting the basement, setting up a step ladder, peering and squinting at gaps of light anywhere I can find them so I can fill with either silicone caulk or that expanding foam stuff. Stops drafts, in addition to spiders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Plasters, SASS#60943 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Went in to the backup garage to get the pickup out the other day and noticed a web by the door. Obviously a Widow web and then I see the large black legs sticking out from behind a stud. Quickly I grab the bug spray, one of those that have the electric spray and squeeze. Plenty of electric noise but no juice. Find a sprayer that operates manually and douse the area then poke behind the stud to make sure it's dead - it was a BIG Black Widow!

Sixgun Sheridan Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Funny you should mention this. Two nights ago I saw a saw a mosquito in my bedroom, and it stayed up near the ceiling too high up to reach up and smash it. My solution? I grabbed my Daisy pump-up air rifle, cranked it up to 12 pumps (after making sure it was unloaded), got the muzzle close to that little bugger and blasted him to kingdom come.
