Wolf Spider?

Flame thrower should do the trick.

Not no but HELLLL NO! I will turn into a highly skilled ninja with the quickness.

Consult your nearest redneck for a stick of dynomite.

Exactly how I am. Spiders suck.

Flame thrower is obviously your only logical option here.

Correct. A wolf spider looks more like a small tarantula with what looks like hair on its abdomen.

F Spiders. Could be worse

The diving bell spider or water spider, Argyroneta aquatica, is the only species of spider known to live entirely under water.

Argyroneta aquatica is found in northern and central Europe and northern Asia up to latitude 62°N. It is the only spider known to spend its whole life under water. As with other spiders, it breathes air, which it traps in a bubble held by hairs on its abdomen and legs.[2] This gives it a silvery appearance, despite it being velvet-grey.[citation needed] The spider inhabits ponds in Europe and northern Asia, and lives for approximately two years.[citation needed] The appearance of the diving bell gave rise to the genus name Argyroneta, from the Greek "argyros" (???????), meaning "silver", and "neta", a neologism (perhaps for *??t??) derived from the verb "neo" (???) "spin", intended to mean "spinner of silver".[3]

Females build underwater "diving bell" webs which they fill with air and use for digesting prey, molting, mating and raising offspring. They live almost entirely within the bells, darting out to catch prey animals that touch the bell or the silk threads that anchor it. However, they have to surface occasionally to renew their personal air supplies and those of their webs. Males also build bells, but these are smaller and the males replenish their bells' oxygen supply less often. The males also have a more active hunting style. Prior to mating, the male constructs a diving bell adjacent to the female's, then spins a tunnel from his bell, breaking into hers to gain entrance.[4] Mating then takes place in the female's bell. The female spider lays between 30 and 70 eggs in her bell.[4]

Males are around 30% larger than females, which is unusual for spiders. This is possibly because their more active hunting style requires greater strength to overcome water resistance and counteract the buoyancy of their mobile air supplies. The larger body size is also associated with longer front legs, which has been shown to affect diving ability, giving the males superiority in diving over the more sessile females.[2] The size of females may be limited as they put more energy into building and maintaining their larger bells. The spiders prey on aquatic insects and crustaceans. Their bite is quite painful as the fangs can pierce the skin, causing localised inflammation and feverishness.[5] The spiders themselves fall prey to frogs and fish.[4]

You need to burn down your house to make sure you got all of them.

I thought it was a wolf so I didn't look much further. But your right I did some more looking and its a 6 spotted fishing spider "Dolomedes triton" eat insects as well as small fish and frogs...I like the fish and frogs in my pond more then this 8 legged beast....he gone...altho I may just relocate rather than flame thrower.

I keep my air gun handy and loaded. It's pretty fun shooting little insects and rodents with what looks and feels like a high powered rifle. Check into the gamo whisper, it's a kick in the pants!
