‘BURN IT WITH FIRE’ Terrified woman finds massive huntsman spider the size of a SAUCEPAN stalking her living room

A TERRIFIED woman has told how she returned home to find an enormous huntsman spider the size of a saucepan in her living room.

Laree Clarke found the spider lurking on her ceiling in Townsville, Australia, and turned to social media in a plea for help.

She begged other Facebook users: "Is there anyone that could remove this from my house?? I don’t have a container that big!"

Laree added: "When I went near it with the phone light it came at me raising it fangs and legs. Hell nahhhh!"

One fellow arachnophobe suggested: "It's probably easier to burn your house down at this point."

Another urged her to "kill it with fire" whole a third said: "Just burn the house down and run."

And one jokingly suggested she should ask the colossal spider to "pay rent".

Laree later updated her post saying the spider was removed safely and released.

For all of you spider fans, I read several years back that with the exception of the polar regions
and high altitude mountains (think Everest, Denali, or Mt Shasta), you are rarely more than 10
feet from a spider. Good thing I have an alert cat!:laugh:

I had one drop on the back of my neck in the Command Center at USCG Humboldt Bay.
What a very strange sensation.

Dustpan, whisk broom, garbage bag. What is so difficult about that?

Why jump on social media? That to me is helplessness and a lack of
plain old common sense!

That's what happens when you get married! Oh, you were talking about the spiders.... never mind.....

I don’t know how anyone lives in Australia. It is full of the most dangerous species of all kind- on land and in the water.

The only bug that makes me scream involuntarily are giant cockroaches. Anything else I can dispatch with vigor. These give me heebie jeebies. BTW ... I keep mag loaded with snake shot but i think shooting that spider would necessitate calling out carpenter to repair ceiling. So, big shoe or flyswatter it is.

I wonder how the hell something that huge got in her house? She must have some major problems with cracks and crevices. Can't tell me that thing slipped in the door beside her undetected while she was coming or going.

I have a broom with that things name on it.
