Re: Spider phobia

I am not too keen on spiders either

Someone recommended that I get a Spider Catcher from Bug Buster. I did and I can tell you that its a wonderful thing to have to hand. I thought it would be a bit of a gimmick, but it really does work and just sucks spiders up into the tube.

Even though I don't really like them, I wouldn't want to kill one so, when I catch one, I just tip it out the window.

Get one!

Talking Re: Spider phobia

Try going to your local spider group and see them first in the tanks when you get better at that try to be in the same room when one is out on someone else. over the time you will be better around them i got my best mate over his fear and in the end he started to collect them he self.

Re: Spider phobia

HI,

While adults with spider phobia realize that these fears are irrational, they often find that facing, or even thinking about facing, the feared situation brings on a panic attack or severe anxiety.

Thank you..

Re: Spider phobia

I am fine with tarantulas, I am not good with small garden spiders or house spiders. I was pinced as a child by one and I had a bad reaction so as long as they are the size of my palm of bigger it's all good! hahah!
