Tess Battles a Mother-of-a-Spider!

I was hungry for a midnight snack last night and headed down stairs to find the house in disarray, the lights all on and the back sliding door open! Tess explained that she had battled a mother of a spider who was carrying hundreds of babies on her back.  Of course, the battle begun with Tess grabbing the camera and snapping this picture! 

 

See all those fuzzy balls on her back, those are living, crawling little spiders!  After snapping the all important photo Tess grabbed a clear plastic container and trapped the spiders inside.  Next she searched for a chemical that would kill them without hurting the carpet.  "Spotshot" was her solution.  She lifted the edge of the container and sprayed them and watched as they scattered around the inside of the container and start to slow. She then bravely lifted the container and smashed the momma and all the babies that tried to get away with her geography book.  Then she took the container full of poisoned babies and ran out the back and threw it over the fence! I vacuumed her room out several times as she uploaded this picture to her facebook page. At about 12:30 she headed to bed and I ate Wheaties straight from the box and read my new science fiction book. What an exciting night and a brave Tess! 

ATTENTION:  An hour after posting this story I was sweeping the kitchen when I saw another huge wolf spider run behind the fridge.  When Russ got home for lunch I asked him to move the fridge so I could kill it.  I wedged myself back there and smacked it with my flip flop and guess what happened..... hundreds of babies went skittering off her back!!!!!!!!!!  I am not kidding!  I was screaming, HOLY BABIES!!! and smacking all over the place with my shoe. Russ grabbed the 409 and we sprayed the babies that tried to get away!!!  Some one needs to call the pest control guy!!!  I guess that would be me!
