I've had a fear of spiders since I was 5 when a huge black and yellow harry spider jumped on me and covered the better part of the top of my leg and would not leave ... the fact my uncle had told me just a few minutes earlier to avoid them because they were poisonous didn't help the situation. From then, until I was twenty, I could not get close enough to a spider to kill it. What changed that? One was crawling towards my infant son and I had to protect him.
Never underestimate the power of a mother when it comes to her child.
Snakes are OK, as long as I know I am going to see one ... otherwise, I might make a new door trying to get away from it.
Scorpion is my sign, but I still don't think I would try to make friends with one.
Mice are cute, especially the little field mice with the big ears.
Roaches and flies are both in the same boat ... nasty, germ carrying creatures. Roaches are just more sneaky ... they come out in the dark.
How do you get rid of spiders? This really works, my father did it after he found out my fear of spiders.
Find a farm where they grow tobacco. When the crop is harvested, ask the farmer for the stalks. Place the stalks in the attic end to end along the outer walls of the house. How it works I do not know ... all I know is that it does work.
