As long as it's not a roach. We don't have tarantulas here, but we do have golden orb weavers, and I leave them alone. They get rid of all the other pests. We also have skinks, and they're pretty cool, and some chunky frogs too.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Lol I'm always paranoid about giving out any real info online, but I guess it's not that serious.

Nice. NB is really nice, I was just up there for the first time a few days ago. This whole area is really underrated. I would have never thought to move here over Florida or Arizona, the only reason I did was because my wife has family down here, and it ended up being a good thing.

I've seen massive roaches here lol

I guess having tarantulas and trap door spiders is good, as I'd imagine they both eat roaches.

That's a no from me on Talstar P. I don't know how quick it's supposed to work but I came across what looked like a black widow/brown recluse hybrid. I even posted a picture of it here years ago. I dumped that stuff right on it and didn't even faze it. Took 3 or 4 stomps to kill it. No one here, not even the Australians could actually identify the spider I killed.

Edit: I came across a centipede one time in my house. Fuker was fast. Saw it once, never saw it again. The feels of knowing it is just lurking around.

Huntsmans are pretty big, but bird eating spiders are what you want for a complete mogging. As big as dinner plates.

Those things live 8+ years from what I've read. They can go months without food or water too I'm pretty sure.

Those are crazy, I think there's 4 types of tarantula down here, and some get pretty big, but not that big.

Lol there's a pretty big lizard that hangs out around the house, I've seen some smaller ones here and there too. The wildlife here is pretty amazing. I'll have to look for some photos of the deer that walk right up to the house here.

This time I moved from northern Illinois, but I've lived all over the place. Illinois, Ohio, Wyoming, Florida, and Arizona. This time I'm hoping to put roots down though.

Lol I used to be like this too. You just have to get used to it when they're around. I would probably freak out if I woke up in the middle of the night with one in my bed though.

If you mean in the city, they're probably not as common. I'm just outside of the city. The house I'm in is built into a rocky hillside. The views are amazing, but unfortunately there seems to be a ton of bugs and spiders.

Oooh yeah, I remember talking to you about that. You're around SD now, right? Or Orange County?

I was further south, but I had family up by Libertyville, so I'd be up there pretty often.

Huntsman are gentle giants and run at the first sign of trouble srs.

Only real scary spiders here are Funnel Webs, and they live in Sydney only but wander around (huge reason I'd never live there)

Yup, San Diego. Love Northern Illinois, and even the downtown Chicago scene, but I haven't been back in years. Keep us all updated on how you like Texas compared to other states..

Tarantulas are harmless. They are an awesome species. Arachnids have been one of the longest running species in evolution comparable to us if not more.
You are your thoughts. Life is perception, thoughts are perception, perception is reality ergo thoughts are reality, I think therefore I am.

Cut his legs off so it's just a ball that cant move and just makes reeee sounds.
I'd collect a bunch of them and do that to all of them so I just end up with a box full of legless tarantulas, then dump um in the pond for the fish to eat
