Well, I go to get ready for bed, decide to put my washing away. So I open the drawer that has my undies in, and after dropping in the clean washing, go to close the drawer and notice a bloody big spider!! I mean Bloody big!! One of the biggest Huntsmans I have ever seen. This "mini-Tarantula" had been in my drawer for who knows how long? I left the drawer slightly ajar for a few nights not bothering to close it properly. Luckily the spider was facing down, and it was a female too. They can get really aggressive.
I killed it with Bagon, as Big Dave can tell you all about. As an insecticide I don't think it would be allowed in NZ. Anyway, this monster stars running all around the bedroom!! I haven't found the bosy, so it or some of it's rellies might come back. They're nocturnal too so they run all around the house while you're asleep! They're related to the Auckland Avondale Spider, but bigger, faster and meaner! Couldn't keep 'em as pets. I tried but the last one in thwe house chased me running along the cieling. I couldn't move without the thing hooning it after me! The sorta shit you see in a B-grade horror flick! "Arachnaphobia" anyone? Below is a picture from a website of one of these Beasties' favourate possies, and that's a real spider:
