[Japan]: Monster insects nightmare! ;o;

Hullo.

When I came back from work yesterday night, this is what was greeting me in the staircase of my apartment building:

This is the smaller one. Probably a little bit smaller than the hand of an adult.

This is the larger one. Definitely as big as an adult's hand, maybe even a little bit bigger ;o;

I told you I hate summer in Japan mainly for the monster insects, right?
I came across one of those huge spiders last year. It was INSIDE at my workplace. So horrible!!!

I hope they're not poisonous, but what really freaks me out is that the bigger one seems to protect her eggs. EGGS!!!! = 2342523123 more monster spiders to come!!!!
If they're still here when I leave for work in a few minutes, maybe I should ask the apartment management to do something about it??
It can't be my job to get rid of them. Furthermore I'm too scared! It was hard enough for me to get close enough to take those photos!!!
I don't hate spiders and I'm not afraid of them, but if they're THAT big??!! Jesus!!! ;o;

I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep last night, knowing that they're only a few meters away!!!

Definitely not going to open any windows or doors in the next few weeks!!! ;o;

Okay, off to work!

OH MY GOD.

That is... so creepy!!

*shivers*

I definitely wouldn't be able to sleep. I would buy bug spray in the morning and drown it in it until it dies. Seriously, I wouldn't be able to do anything else until it was dead.

Ew. Ew. Ewwwww.

I once saw one as big inside the bathtub of a house I was staying at for the night. I expelled it through the window with a towel a la Indiana Jones.

Sowas gibt es hier!? Ist das ein Scherz???

Mir krabbelte neulich eine kleinere Version von der da auf meinem Fuss rum. Ich hab vielleicht geschrien, wie am Spiess!

Das ist doch nicht normal.

omg! I dont even think I would have been able to walk passed it. I run away almost every bug except ants, butterflies, and lightning bug *when i realize its one*
If you cant afford to buy any spider spray use a squirt bottle that has bleach and warm water in it. Someone told me that kills bugs really good.
You should def tell the owner cuz if it did lay eggs then everyone will have a problem. Plus Im sure they dont want a lawsuit if anyone gets bitten.

chochajin.livejournal.com on June 29th, 2010 03:40 pm (UTC)

No choice!! That's the only way into my apartment ;o; But they didn't move at all when I passed by, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to go back to take photos! XD

When I went to work today they were already gone ^-^;

Oh Scheiße ey XDDD Du Arme! Wir sind letztes Jahr in ein Haus mit Garten gezogen, und im Winter hatte ich auch solche Tierchen in meinem Zimmer herumkrabbeln, das war auch sehr furchtbar, zumal sie mindestens 6-7 cm groß sind (inklusive Beine). Ich hab so einen Schock gekriegt, als ich um 1 in der Nacht während dem Zeichnen, aus dem Augenwinkel so ein Monster durch mein Zimmer huschen sah.

Und das Beste ist, jetzt im Sommer, mit den zigtausend Moskitos, wenn man diese Spinnen braucht, lässt sich keine einzige blicken!!! *fail*

Übrigens, nach einiger Zeit gewöhnt man sich an sie. Ich nenn sie immer Tim XDD

The photo outside of the cut really scared me! xD I'm really afraid of spiders, I think I would have passed-out if I had seen spiders that big in front of my home... I hope that you'll be able to get rid of them!

darkdelights.livejournal.com on June 29th, 2010 09:39 am (UTC)

O____________O

Oh my god!!!
I'm very afraid of spiders and I would probably faint if those were anywhere near me!

moldypotatochip.livejournal.com on June 29th, 2010 09:45 am (UTC)

Ahhhhhh I HATE spiders!! And those ones are sooooo frightening D:

I haven't seen any of those but up here we get tons of creepy black and yellow ones... not usually seen them indoors but once there was one on the door to the trash bin and I would NOT open the door.... wanted someone to kill it for me but luckily next time I was there someone had already gotten rid of it.... I was so happy.... I hit my head on one of the webs for the black and yellow spiders once and it made a crunchy noise and didn't even break a strand D: and I was so relieved the spider didn't touch me but I kept freaking out and feeling my head for ages afterward.

...OMG.

O.O

That's the biggest spider I have ever seen in my life!!! I just got ghoosebumps D:

Ewwwwwww. I don't think I could've had the courage to take a picture, let alone stay anywhere close to them.

chochajin.livejournal.com on June 29th, 2010 04:00 pm (UTC)

Yah, never saw any big spiders in Germany, so this IS scary ;o;

Well, when I passed by they didn't move at all, so I figured I could try to take a photo XD .... but I was scared, of course! x_X

こんにちは☆
確か前の記事にも虫のことを書いていましたね。今回は階段で見かけたようですが、部屋に入ってくる可能性もありますので対策が必要です。

ちなみに、おそらくこの写真のクモは【アシダカグモ】でしょう。日本でよく見かけるクモで、クモの巣を張りません。無害なうえに、ゴキブリを食べてくれるので日本人は昔からこのクモと共存してきました。
でも気持ち悪いですよね(ﾟДﾟ；)！！

対策としては…
STEP①アパートの管理人さんか大家さんにクモの駆除について相談する。
（しかし、無害なクモなので相談しても何もしてくれない可能性があります。）

STEP②もしも、管理人さんが何もしてくれなかったら、アシダカグモが食べるゴキブリを減らしましょう。巣を作らないアシダカグモは食べるものが無くなれば、どこかに移動します。

ゴキブリを減らすためには…
●生ゴミの管理をしっかりすること。
●掃除をしっかりしてホコリをためないこと。
●ゴキブリホイホイ（たまにクモも捕獲できます）やホウ酸団子を作る（ただし、ホウ酸団子は2週間ごとに新しいのに代える）
●バルサンを炊く（効果はありますがあまりオススメしません）

STEP③管理人さんが何もしてくれないのでしたら『アシダカグモが発生しているので、その主食であるゴキブリを減らすべく、生ゴミの管理をしっかりお願いします』と管理人さんに言ったり、アパートの掲示板にその内容を書いて貼ってもらいましょう。

私もクモは苦手です(・ω-｀；)この時期はクモが発生しやすいので、とりあえずできることから始めましょう(^_^;)

There's no poisonous spiders in Japan, so you don't have to worry about that. I wonder if that tiny spider is the male :)

Oh...My... God. Seriously, I am not sure how you managed to sleep through that but I know I wouldn't. Good god, they're disgusting and one who is expecting babies. How gross is that? I am all for animals etc helping the plant and us, of course, but insects: NO. That is one big rule in my life. NO INSECTS NEARBY ME.

I feel for you. Honestly. Good luck, and maybe try to raise awareness with the landlord of your building?
