re: Spiders or roaches

Ran through a spider web on a mountain bike and a bunch of babies started running all over my face. I managed to keep my composure and keep the bike on the trail for a few seconds until they got under my sunglasses and I felt one run across my eyeball.

Then I pretty much did this:



That said, roaches are far worse.

Spiders really don't bother me. If I see one I'll smash it and wipe it up then go about my day.

Roaches on the other hand, are the fricking worst. I'm not scared of them so much as creeped out and repulsed. Plus they run away so fast and if you don't get them you just KNOW that son of a bitch is crawling on you in your sleep. No thank you. Knock on wood, haven't seen roach 1 in my new house since moving in December 2014.

Haven't seen a roach or spider in years. My cat has been doing a good job.

I was staying with my girlfriend at the time and I was eating dinner watching TV in the living room when I saw something outta the corner of my eyes running across the floor in the hallway. It was a dirty arse cockroach.

Well it came from a hall closet that has the central AC unit. Nothing else was in the closet and it was pitch black.

So, I took some Bengal Roach Spray and sprayed all in that closet until no living, breathing thing could possibly survive that kind of chemical attack. I almost died myself. I know for a fact I at least shaved two years off my life.

So I go back to sit down in the living room and watch TV. After a few mins, I reach for my glass of sweet tea and there is a huge fricking roach staring me in the face. We locked eyeballs to eyeballs. And he had this look of "frick you for killing my family"

I immediately go to get a newspaper to light this bastard up and I look and a army of roaches (big and small) are running for their lives from underneath that closet door.

I look in the back room that has a sliding glass door and the roach army is crawling out from underneath the house. They are trying to crawl up the sliding glass door.

Within minutes, the whole house is filled with dead roaches. They didn't make it that far. I spent an hour sweeping up dead roaches into a dustpan. It was about 200 roaches. I counted them.

I went to crawl in bed later that evening and when I laid my head down there was a roach crawling on the bed.

I wanted to just go purchase a flamethrower and burn the sonofabitch down.

Waking up can be a confusing time...

I lose all instincts of man with roaches. I'll hide behind a pillow biting it and crying while wife goes and kills the roach.

spiders can actually bite and kill you

Depends on the size. Ain't got a problem with the small spiders, but we've got Huntsman spiders. One was in my garage and I executed that bitch with extreme prejudice with the S&W 4006 .40. Blew the fricker all over the floor. Then his homie came out from behind my tool box. At that point I was about ready to list the bitch and GTFO. No problem with roaches though. Just means you're a dirty motherfricker.

roaches are far worse than spiders.

And for a roach story, in grade school i was riding on the bus heading to school. I Felt something itching and sticking my leg. So, i go to scratch it, i thought it was paper or something so i hit my thigh with my hand and i feel something. Whatever it was, i smashed it. Well, i investigate further and stick my hand down my pants and pull out a smushed cockroach. Luckily no one saw me at the time, for at that age (3rd or 4th grade) being the roach guy would lead to some early trauma.

It did freak me out for a week or so after that.
