Can't stand spiders, their webs or anything about them. Usually they will loose the battle if they are anywhere around me. Brake Cleaner, or a can of WD-40 and a lighter will do the trick. (just make sure what is behind the target, don't want to set the house ablaze)

Jet, you win. Holy shit, just thinking about that is going to keep me from sleeping well tonight.

spiders are not too bad IMO. the harmless jumping ones that move so fast it looks like they are teleporting 2-3 " at a time freak me out more than a banana.

i was just in the El Yunque Rain Forrest last month and i was skeeved out just thinking about the possibility of running into one of these fuggers:

Yep. With all the new construction around us, we are sure to see the numbers jump. We just had a huge influx of crickets, so the black widows and scorpions aren't far behind. My neighbor is routinely in his back yard at night with a black light and propane torch igniting scorpions.

Body, or legspan! This one, including legspan, is about the size of my palm. Body is about the size of a large peanut, double, still in rhe shell.
