Default Killed a spider in the garage, don't know what it is?

Cleaning out the garage today and I came across this nasty *** spider. It started jumping around, so I grabbed the hornet and wasp killer and sprayed the crap out of it till it stopped moving. This thing was a decent size, about the size of a quarter or half dollar. Anyone know what it is?? I've seen others like this in varying sizes, but this guy was pretty big.

god! I hope I never see one of them near me! I hate spiders! You should google camel spiders if you want to see some sick stuff. My gf's brother used to have them fight each other when he was over in Iraq

I think it's just a normal brown spider, not a recluse or anything like that. But man oh man was this thing all excited.

It's not just my house, my neighbors and others in the neighborhood have spider issues. I usually spray the sill plate in the basement as well as the exterior twice a year.

Thats one badass looking spider. I hate the bastards and kill at least 2-3 every week in my house. Last week a big *** praying mantis flew in my house, must of been 8-9 inches long, scared the crap out of me. I let my brother in law kill the bastard. I hate Fxxking bugs. Kill them all.

Try seeing one on your wall 15 feet from your bed while you are trying to sleep. I had a level 10 heart attack when that happend. Thank god I killed it before it got behind some furniture.

ACKKKK! EEGGHH!! UGHHHH!! heeebeeejeebeee's!!!!!!!! I hate spiders!!!!! Everytime I see one i end up with a nightmare of one coming down from the ceiling in the middle of the nite and I watch it land on the covers and I jump around like a school girl, hit the lights ruffle through the covers wake up the miss and **** her off while I'm at it.

Man I hate spiders, ever since I was about 6 years old and woke up one night because my ear was itching and come to find out a spider was in my ear and I had killed it when I rubbed the inside of my ear. Since then I've been on a mission to kill every last spider I encounter. I don't care how good they are with killing flies or mosquitoes, that's why they made flyswatters.

I knew people would post videos of nasty spiders on here. Fortunately it's only a wolf spider and not something deadly like those other camel spiders. I could never live where we had **** like that crawling around.

Sweet. I hear spiders bring good news. It's a russian saying. We had a spider in the basement throughout the year as we were building a room down there. The room came out great, lol, I think we put sheetrock over the spiders web, it's prob still somewhere behind the walls. I'm talking about a little regular spider though, that thing looks scary, lol.
