how do i get over my fear of them?

Answer 1

Carry a big stick and don't be afraid to step on them and squish their guts out! I am soo sorry you are scared of them. I don't care for them but as long as they are not near my head I am okay. Wonder if there is anything you can spray in that area to keep them from coming back? I am having a spider issue in my classroom this year. They are granddaddy long legs... Let's both stop going to school and just stay on summer break and that way we can avoid the spiders! LOL! JUST KIDDING!  

Answer 2

Normally I would say forget about them; but, these spiders are very dangerous and should be left alone. If it were any other spider, aside from the Australian Funnel Web, it would be no problem for you to just go your merry way. So what I would do is find another route to your bus stop. If you have to go down the same path, stay away and try not to alarm them because they are extremely nervous spiders that will bite anything that IS A POTENTIAL threat.
