I just killed a freakin 3" wolf spider in the middle of my living room. Three inches...Well, that's three inches from leg tip to leg tip. The body was about half that size. That's still huge. How the hell did a spider that big get into my place? I almost stepped on the damn thing. It was a show down. I had nothing around to kill it. I didn't want to leave the room because I was afraid it would take off and then I would really be freaked out. Let's see what my options were.
1. TV remote control
2. Napkin
3. DVD Case
4. Zoey Dog Bone
Hell yeah, the choice was clear. The napkin... whatever. It's razor sharp fangs could easily pierce the paper. Hell no. Anything related to electronics was not going to be an option (including the DVD case). So, what else was I to do. As Macho Man Randy Savage would say, "Step into a slim jim!" wait no wrong saying, "OH, YEAH!!!" I smacked that bitch with a Rib bone faster than lightning. Spider guts went flying. Leg here, Leg there. It was like that opening scene of Saving Private Ryan. Blood flying all over the place.

So now, I'm having a major freak attack and don't want to get into my bed. What if another big ass spider crawls into my bed while I'm sleeping? I'm constantly brushing my neck as I type this because it feels like a spider is touching my neck. Did I mention my arachnophobia? Especially the kind that is afraid of big ass eat your face type of spiders.
I've taken the precaution of spraying bug spray along the door gaps. I figure it's kind of similar to salt keeping witches out. The bug spray should have some sort of protective ability toward the spiders. I think I might have over sprayed though. The smell is starting to make me nauseous. Whatever it takes to wake up in the morning and not be trapped in some giant cocoon.

I hate spiders, but I would be afraid that if I sprayed bug spray around the doorways, it would only keep the spiders IN! There would be no way for them to escape, leaving them no choice but to crawl all over me all night.
Where we live now, in the backwoods country of Magnolia, we seem to have more than our fair share of spiders. So, we bought these things that you plug into the electric socket and they are supposed to drive the spiders away. Well for the first couple of weeks i thought we have been ripped off and wasted $20....but now i never see spiders. They are made by Black & Decker and they work.
See if they have jumbo sized ones for your jumbo spiders.
Here they are:

Yeah. I can safely say no spiders crawled on me that night. How do I know? Because I got NO sleep that night. I was up all night long and tired as hell the next day.
I really didn't think about them being trapped in with me. Thanks for raising my paranoia up a few notches. :)
Thanks for the tip Luce, but do you think it will affect my dog? Last thing I need is for her to go even more psycho on me and attack me in my sleep.
