Hey you guys are such a bunch of 
heads, having all these very interesting debates about what to kill and what not to kill!!
Fig, this has probably been one of the most interesting and "GRILLING" strings that I have EVER followed, HOWEVER, once I changed my brookies a couple of times and had a GOOD LONG shower....... I thought that I would share my thoughts not only on the WRINKLIES, PARKIES and RAIN SPIDERS, all of which I have a GREAT aversion to and happen to have come into contact with on more occassions than I care to remember
As a brand new mommy about (well it was a long time ago, when I still lived in the "FAR EAST" rand... NOT going to be specific on that one), but we had these Wrinklies in our back yard and also the great privillege of EBONY, our black as the nght labrador, that caught the Wrinklies and brought her gifts into the house to show us her fabulous hunting skills. I just happened to run a play school at the time, so was not only responsible for the safety of my child, but for that of 11 other little darlings too
EBONY ruled 
as she kept the playground safe, the house full of VERRRRY dead wrinklies as the kids named them, once I had convinced my then hubby to discard the carcasses, but only after a lesson to the kids of what these long black stripey things were and NOT to go anywhere near them. NEVER killed any myself (thank you eternally Ebony, who eventually got bitten and died).
I then moved to Sandton and had the privilege of the PARKIES, damn those things are tough, you can drive over those things with a steel wheeled roller, the kind that they use to make the tar on the roads flat with, my hubby was in road construction and not even his equipment was enough to get rid of those concrete, armour plated little aliens!!
Then I got clever and moved to "RAIN SPIDER" country - the love of my life Cape Town
So nobody bothered to tell me that you have all these horrific "HOTCHIES" here that actually do eat human flesh 
Got bitten by a violin spider (the wound only took 2 years to heal), but DO NOT KILL ANYTHING that may look like it might be a threat 
Just get a BIG can of anything flammable and set the entire house alight, that way the hotchies are gone along with all your possessions, and if you do it right, your insurance should cover ALL the bills, including your medical bills for these little bastards that bite you while you are sleeping and wake up with a large hole in your butt, just because the POOR little bastard happened to crawl into your bed and felt threateded
To all of us out there that when we see one of these, I am COMPLETELY on your side And to those of you that wish to preserve these lovely, kind and EXTREMELY threatened creatures, I do respect what you are trying to acchieve, BUT, as long as they live on your property and not mine - the gas can is waiting along with the DOOM and anything else that I can find to get rid of it
