Spider season? Ive been here for about 10 months, mostly in the country, i see tarachulas around, but like people have said they arent all over the place, and most evey dominican i know will kill any and all on site. That being said they think they kill people, which they dont unless your allerject to bee stings, cause its similar venum. Also ive now been here just about every month of the year and i dont even remmeber time when tarachulas invaided the house. The only reason we have a few around our place is we just shoo them outside if we see them. Alot of hotels use pesticide and kill big spiders and stuff like that, and ive never seen one on the beach EVER.
The thing that helped me, is i was told to think of trannys as mamals, not spiders. Like a squirrel if you go near it or walk by it it will either sit still or run away, if you step on its tail or grab it, it will bit you and can hurt, same with a tarachula, are you afraid of squirrels? Come on over its really nice here!!!!
