Luckily in the UK we don't have anything too life threatening to worry about. Pet Tarantulas funny enough I don't have a problem with mainly because of the fact that they are so much bigger and not so much like an insect but the big black house spiders make me go cold. If one so much as crawled across my arm or leg you would hear my screams from one end of the Uk to the other! But I can't kill them, I would rather stay huddled in a corner until it decides to leave on its own accord - eventually.
