Nightmare on my window

So after spraying the shit out of spiders last time, you'd think they'd be gone. Noooo, they're still there, living in the cracks in between the bricks of this house. Today, it rained in the afternoon. I don't know why, but it seems that spiders have a tendency to come out when it rains. I was sitting at my computer watching a Korean drama, then BAM I SEE SPIDERSSSS (note the plural) SCUTTLE ACROSS MY WINDOW. I nearly pissed myself.

So I grab my bottle of insect spray and venture out in the rain. Then there, on my window sill, was a spider which looked like it was of the same species as the ones which had inhabited my window, except IT WAS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A ROCK. Like, omfg, THESE THINGS ARE WORSE THAN HUNTSMANS. A Wikipedia search tells me the species of spider infesting my windows is called the "black house spider", because it is so common. Yeah, okay, what I see matches the image on the internet. BUT OMFG IT SHOULD NOT HAVE AN ABDOMEN WHICH BLOATS TO THE SIZE OF A GUM BALL. WTH.

Of course my first reaction is to spray the shit out of it.

But it was rainy, and windy, and I'm pretty sure the spider didn't actually get sprayed that bad. So when I did spray it, IT JUST CRAWLED INTO THE CRACKS. Then I spray all the smaller ones on my window--- and they scuttle away, frightened, I assume, BUT ALIVE. Then one fell off the window due to the force of the spray, and I yelped jumping backwards. I couldn't find it on the ground, then I became paranoid that it could have attached itself onto me. That's when I stripped down and showered immediately.

I don't remember whether I told you, but I'm mildly arachnophobic.

Argh, maybe I should just call up pest control in the phone book. I guess I don't actually have enough balls to go spider spraying all day long. I swear, there are so many spiders here, my window would be an appropriate setting for the next Halloween horror film.
