Yes Christine there really are spiders here that will chase you.. http://www.ento.okstate.edu/ddd/insects/wolfspider.htm they can be very defensive and aggressive. I am a quick draw with wasp spray (ranges up to 15 feet), WD-40 or dish washing liquid and I can throw a small human body pretty far if need be. Like all spiders they curl up and die quickly when coated with something they can't breath through. I walked into my bathroom to take a shower one day before going to see a Dom I was playing with and spotted a Wolf Spider in the the bathtub. Backed out, told the X2B there was a spider in the bathroom and he went in after it ( hey he was good for something, at least), he came back out quickly and grabbed his medival axze off the wall, a chair and went back in closing the door. I heard, thuds, thumps, a curse and a faling chair..(Spider 1, Dwarf 0). Then more thuds and he finally came out and proudly declared the spider on the wall was dead... I asked him that was the one in the bathtub right? He looked at me..turned back in and looked in the bathtub..closed the door and more bangs issued. I showered at the Doms place. Palmetto bugs are another story however...those the dogs, the cat and I go after with a vengenace..and I swear one of them laughed at the cat. Suckers survive almost anything you can throw at them, bricks, electricity, shoes (they throw them back..not enough pairs). Oddly enough I rarely find one in the house though unless the doors are kept open. Must be the boric acid barrier I have laid down. poenkitten enemy of the scary insect world P.S. June bugs is HEAVY and scratchy
