Holy crap. That spider picture is too big for a peaceful Sunday morning. I was somewhat relieved to hear that the pink thing is the size of a golf ball and not a volleyball like I was imagining.

No idea how you go about getting rid of that thing.

Holy Crap, get yourself some spider spray and in the mean time, do what I do: HAIRSPRAY. It works.

I've heard that mama spiders carry their young on their backs, but to be safe I'd remove that wad of whatever as well. Yeah, screw you PETA, this has got to GO! Insects don't count.

I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU. I just had to look at that right before bed. And I'm never coming to your house again.

Well, I sprayed it with wasp spray. The kind that shoots 25 feet. The spider freaked for about a second and next thing I knew it was running across the wall right at me. Then slipped off the wall and hung there for a minute and finally died. I had to keep going out there and show anyone who would look to confirm it was dead.

...ooops "PETA" not "PITA".

Sorry Dan. I try to make sure the bugs are gone before you come over.

I'm pretty sure you jinxed me...I read this post last night and them this morning a spider fell from visor right onto my face while I was driving. Of course this almost caused several accidents since I couldn't get it off me and then when I finally was able to brush it to the floor I was forever freaking out thinking it was crawling up my lef ready to bite me at any time.
It even loooked like the one in the pic...well, except it wasn't the size of a cat. You're not missing any pets or neighbors for that matter are you?

Eep!!Just get a stick & put it underneath that pink cottoncandy biomass(right at the window corner).Carefully go counterclockwise in abracadbra motion to get all the web nasty on that stick(trap 8 legged mamma in a jar beforehand).Place all those cringe-able contents in a bush outside...if you haven't already turned the wee beastie into a hairsprayed statue,lol!!
That's my dorky 2 cents...

What exactly does hairspray do babyjewels? All I can imagine is my big ugly spiders running around with bee-hive hair do.

With the looks of that spider, forget caulk...board your windows with plywood! Does "he" have his own kitchen in there?

Hi Colleen,

Oh I've killed em with hairspray. I think it does something to their nervous system or just makes them immobile. Freeze and Shine Spiders. Beware!

i killed a huge-ass spider the other day with most of a can of spider spray. it was probably far more than was required, but i frickin' hate spiders.
