ʻO kēia ma muli o ke kiʻekiʻe o ka mahana o ke kauwela ma mua o ka maʻamau (kahi i alakaʻi ai i ka piʻi ʻana o ka nui o nā nalo, ka mea e lilo ai i meaʻai no nā nananana), a me nā ua mua loa i ka mahina i hala, ka mea i hoʻihoʻi mai i nā nananana i ko mākou mau home. Ua hoʻopilikia pū nā ua i ka paʻa ʻana o ka mea pio a nā nananana i loko o kā lākou mau pūnaewele, ka mea i alakaʻi ai i ka piʻi ʻana o ka heluna nananana.
Ua hōʻike kekahi poʻe kamaʻāina ʻākau e ʻike ana i nā nananana a hiki i 7.5 kenimika ka lōʻihi e kolo ana i loko o ko lākou mau home—ua lawa ia e hoʻouna i nā haʻalulu i lalo o nā iwi kuamoʻo o nā kānaka he nui.
Ua alakaʻi kēia mau kūlana o ke aniau i nā poʻo inoa nūhou e like me "Nā Punahele Pōloli, Nui e Hiki ke Hoʻoulu i nā Alarm ʻaihue e Hoʻouka Ana i ko Mākou mau Home."
Pili kēia ika hoʻowalewale ʻana o nā nananana hale kāne (no ka genus Tegenaria) e komo i loko o nā hale e ʻimi ana i ka mehana, ka malu, a me nā hoa.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā ʻano nananana he 670 a ʻoi aku ma UK ʻaʻole lākou e komo pinepine i loko o ko mākou mau home. Noho ka hapa nui i ka nahelehele, e like me nā pā lāʻau a me nā ululāʻau, ʻoiai ʻo nā nananana raft e noho ana ma lalo o ka wai.
Akā inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kekahi i loko o kou home, mai hopohopo. ʻOiai ke nānā aku nei kēia mau mea huluhulu he mea weliweli iki, ʻoi aku ka hoihoi o lākou ma mua o ka weliweli.
Akā, e ho'āʻo e kamaʻilio me kaʻu wahine, a i ʻole i nā miliona o ka poʻe e ʻeha nei i ka arachnophobia irrational (ʻike ʻia hoʻi ʻo arachnophobia).
Hoʻoili pinepine ʻia kēia phobia mai nā mākua a i nā keiki. ʻOiai he ʻano kūlohelohe nā keiki e hāpai i nā nananana a hōʻike iā lākou i ko lākou mau mākua, e noi ana i ko lākou manaʻo, inā he uē weliweli ka pane mua a ka poʻe mākua, ʻaʻole paha lākou e hoʻopā hou i kahi nananana.
Manaʻo kekahi poʻe ʻo ka makaʻu o kānaka i nā nananana ma muli o ka mea i aʻo ka poʻe kahiko, i ka wā o ka ulu ʻana, e makaʻala i nā mea ola ʻē.
Eia naʻe, e like me ka mea a ka loea nananana ʻo Helen Smith i kuhikuhi ai, ua mahalo ʻia nā nananana ma mua o ka inaina ʻia ma nā moʻomeheu he nui, ʻoiai lākou e noho ana i waena o nā ʻano make a me nā mea ʻawaʻawa.
ʻO kekahi kumu e weliweli ai mākou i nā nananana, ʻo ia ko lākou wikiwiki. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, hoʻokahi mile wale nō ka neʻe ʻana o lākou i kēlā me kēia hola. Akā, ma ke ʻano o ka nui, inā like ka nui o kahi nananana hale me ke kanaka, e holo maoli nō ia ma mua o Usain Bolt!
ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua hana ka evolution i nā nananana i ka wikiwiki a me ka hiki ʻole ke wānana ʻia e pale aku i nā mea ʻaihue e like me nā pōpoki a me nā manu. Mai hopohopo ke ʻike ʻoe i kahi nananana; akā, e mahalo i ko lākou ola kupaianaha.
ʻŌlelo ʻo Helen Smith: "ʻO ke aʻo ʻana e ʻike i nā wahine (ʻoi aku ka nui) ʻo ia ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i kā lākou mau moʻolelo ola kupaianaha a kōkua i ka hoʻohuli ʻana i ka makaʻu i ka hoihoi."
ʻO ka maʻamau, hiki i nā nananana wahine ke lōʻihi ma kahi o ʻeono kenimika, me kēlā me kēia wāwae e hoʻolōʻihi ana ma kahi o hoʻokahi ʻīniha, no ka lōʻihi holoʻokoʻa ma kahi o ʻekolu kenimika. He liʻiliʻi nā nananana kāne a he lōʻihi ko lākou mau wāwae.
ʻO kekahi ala e hoʻokaʻawale ai iā lākou, ʻo ia ke nānā aku i nā "tentacles" o ke kāne: ʻelua mau puʻupuʻu liʻiliʻi e kīkoʻo ana mai ke poʻo a hoʻohana ʻia no ka hoʻopā ʻana i nā mea.
He kuleana koʻikoʻi kēia mau ʻauamo i ka male ʻana. Ma mua o ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi wahine, ʻomi ke kāne i kahi kulu o ka sperm a omo iā ia i loko o kēlā me kēia o kāna mau ʻauamo. ʻAʻole paha he aloha, akā he mea pono maoli nō ia. ʻO ke ola lōʻihi loa o nā ʻauamo wahine—ʻelua makahiki a ʻoi aku paha—akā maʻamau lākou e peʻe i loko o kā lākou mau pūnaewele, kahi i loaʻa pinepine ʻia ma nā kihi ʻeleʻele o nā hale kaʻa a i ʻole nā hale waihona, ʻoiai hiki iā lākou ke ʻike ʻia i loko o kou home.
Ma waho aʻe o nā nananana hale, hiki paha iā ʻoe ke hālāwai me nā nananana wāwae lōʻihi, nona ka inoa mai ko lākou ʻano like me nā nalo wāwae lōʻihi (a i ʻole centipedes), he mau pepeke maʻamau hoʻi i ka hāʻule.
Hōʻike nā kamaʻāina o kekahi mau wahi ʻākau i ka ʻike ʻana i nā nananana a hiki i ka 7.5 kenimika ka lōʻihi e kolo ana i loko o ko lākou mau home.
ʻOiai ua manaʻo ʻia kēia nananana he mea make loa ia o nā mea ola a pau ma Pelekane, ʻo ka mea pōmaikaʻi, ua liʻiliʻi loa kona waha e hou i ka ʻili kanaka. E like me nā mea ʻē aʻe i kapa ʻia he "ʻoiaʻiʻo" e pili ana i nā nananana, ʻo ka ʻōlelo ʻana he mea weliweli lākou i nā kānaka he moʻolelo kūlanakauhale wale nō ia. ʻOiaʻiʻo, hiki i kēia nananana palupalu ke pepehi i nā mea pio nui aʻe (me nā nananana hale) me kona mea make, akā ʻaʻohe pono e hopohopo.
Ua hoʻolauna ʻia nā nananana wāwae lōʻihi i UK mai ʻEulopa mai i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke kenekulia 20 a mai ia manawa ua laha aku ma ka ʻākau o ʻEnelani, Wales a me Scotland, ʻo ia hoʻi ma ka holo ʻana ma luna o nā lako o nā kaʻa lawe.
I nā makahiki ma hope o ke Kaua Honua II, ua huakaʻi ka loea nananana ʻo Bill Bristol a puni ka ʻāina, e nānā ana i nā lumi hoʻokipa a me ke aʻo ʻana i kahi o ka nananana.
Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻoholo inā ua noho kahi nananana i loko o kou hale ma ka nānā ʻana i nā kihi o ke kaupaku, ʻoi aku hoʻi i nā lumi anuanu e like me ka lumi ʻauʻau. Inā ʻike ʻoe i kahi pūnaewele lahilahi e kahe ana me kahi nananana i loko, hiki iā ʻoe ke hou mālie iā ia me ka penikala—e hoʻoluliluli koke ka nananana i kona kino holoʻokoʻa, kahi āna e hoʻohana ai e pale aku i nā mea ʻaihue a huikau i ka mea pio.
ʻIke ʻole ʻia paha kēia nananana, akā naʻe, ʻo kona mau wāwae lōʻihi e hiki ai iā ia ke kuha i nā ʻupena pipili a hopu i kekahi mea pio e lana ana ma mua.
Ua laha nui kēia pepeke ma ka hema o ʻEnelani i kēia manawa, a hiki i kona nahu ʻana ke ʻeha loa - ua like iki me ke kui ʻana o ka nalo meli - akā e like me ka hapa nui o nā mea kolo, ʻaʻole ia he huhū; pono e hoʻonāukiuki ʻia e hoʻouka.
Akā, ʻo ia ka mea ʻino loa i hiki iā lākou ke hana. ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, ua lilo nā hōʻike o nā lehulehu o nā nananana make e hoʻouka ana i nā poʻe hele ma ke ala he moʻolelo wahaheʻe wale nō.
Pono e paipai ʻia nā nananana: he nani lākou, kōkua i ka pepehi ʻana i nā mea ʻino, a hoʻolōʻihi i ka manawa me mākou ma mua o kou manaʻo.
Ua ʻae au me ia. Akā, e ʻoluʻolu, mai haʻi aku i kaʻu wahine ke kono aku nei au i nā nananana i loko o ka hale, a i ʻole e pilikia nui wau.
ʻO ka mea pōʻino, i ka wā e hoʻokuʻu ai i ka nananana, ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻololi i ke kahe o ka ea - hiki ke hoʻoluliluli wale ʻia mai ka hāmeʻa, ʻaʻole ia he mea maʻalahi.
He ʻōpala hoʻoheheʻe kēia i hoʻohana ʻia e kahi pākahiko 9-volt. Kūpono ka lōʻihi no ka paʻa ʻana i kahi nananana ma ka lōʻihi o ka lima, akā ua like iki ke anawaena iaʻu. Ua hoʻāʻo wau ma luna o kahi nananana waena i piʻi i ka paia a e peʻe ana ma hope o kahi kiʻi kiʻi. ʻOiai ʻaʻole ikaika loa ka omo ʻana, ʻo ke kaomi wale ʻana i ka ʻōpala i ka ʻili o ka nananana ua lawa ia e huki ai i waho me ka ʻole o ka hōʻeha.
ʻO ka mea pōʻino, i ka wā e hoʻokuʻu ai i ka nananana, ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻololi i ke kuhikuhi o ke kahe ʻana o ka ea—akā, pono ʻoe e lulu iā ia mai loko mai o ka hāmeʻa, ʻaʻole ia he hana wikiwiki loa.
Hana ia ma ke ʻano like me ka uhi ʻana i kahi kāleka kāleka me ke aniani, akā ʻo ka lima 24-ʻīniha e mālama i kēlā mau pepeke liʻiliʻi mai ka hiki ʻana aku.
He mea maʻalahi ka hopu ʻana i kahi nananana ma ka papahele. E uhi wale i ka nananana me kahi poʻi palakika maopopo a hoʻokomo i ka puka lalo ma lalo. ʻAʻole e hōʻino ka poʻi palakika lahilahi i nā wāwae o ka nananana i ka wā e pani ai. Eia nō naʻe, e hoʻomanaʻo he palupalu ka puka a i kekahi manawa ʻaʻole ia e laka pono, no laila e hoʻāʻo paha ka nananana e pakele.
He pono kēia ʻano hana inā ʻaʻole e neʻe ka nananana; inā ʻaʻole, e ʻoki paha ʻoe i kona mau wāwae a pōpō paha iā ia.
He mea paʻa a liʻiliʻi kēia e hiki ke hopu i nā mea kolo liʻiliʻi a waena. Hana maikaʻi ia inā ʻaʻole ikaika loa ka nananana, a i ʻole e ʻoki paha ʻoe i kona mau wāwae a kuʻi paha iā ia. Ke paʻa ka nananana, e hāpai maʻalahi ka puka plastik ʻōmaʻomaʻo, e paʻa ana i ka nananana i loko no ka hoʻokuʻu palekana.
Ua like kēia pahele pepeke me kahi pū flintlock kahiko a hoʻohana pū i kahi ʻōnaehana omo. Loaʻa iā ia kahi kukui uila LED e kōkua iā ʻoe e ʻimi a hopu i kēia mau mea liʻiliʻi ma nā kihi pouli. Holo ia ma luna o ʻelua mau pila AA, a ʻoiai ʻaʻole ikaika loa ka omo ʻana, ua huki pono ia i kahi nananana waena mai loko mai o koʻu lumi lole. Loaʻa i ka pahele kahi ʻano laka e pale ai i nā pepeke mai ka pakele ʻana. Eia naʻe, no ka mea he 1.5 ʻīniha wale nō ke anawaena o ka paipu, hopohopo wau ʻaʻole hiki i nā nananana nui ke komo i loko.
Aia i loko o kēia huahana nā insecticides permethrin a me tetrafluoroethylene, ka mea e pepehi ʻole i nā nananana wale nō akā i nā pepeke ʻē aʻe, me nā pi. Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia i loko a i waho a ʻaʻohe koena, koena pipili, a ʻala paha, akā ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke pepehi i nā nananana ʻino ʻole.
Ke hopu ʻia ka pepeke, ua ʻōlelo ʻia e "kuʻi" iā ia. Manaʻo wau he kūpono kēia ʻano hana, akā ʻaʻole oʻu makemake.
ʻO kēia pahele pepeke he ʻekolu mau pahele pepa pipili e pelu ana i loko o nā "hale" liʻiliʻi ʻekolu ʻano e hopu ai ʻaʻole wale i nā nananana akā i nā ʻanuʻu, nā ʻuku lāʻau, nā ʻūhini, nā pepeke, a me nā pepeke kolo ʻē aʻe. ʻAʻohe mea ʻawahia nā pahele a palekana no nā keiki a me nā holoholona. Eia naʻe, ua hoʻohana au i kaʻu no hoʻokahi pule holoʻokoʻa a ʻaʻole i hopu i hoʻokahi pepeke.
No laila, he aha kekahi mau ala kūlohelohe e hoʻopau ai i nā nananana i loko o ka hale? ʻO nā ʻōuli lio i kau ʻia ma ka puka makani ua ʻōlelo ʻia e kipaku aku i nā nananana. Ua ʻike mua nā mea kūʻai aku ʻoihana eBay i kēia: hiki i nā ʻōuli lio ke kūʻai aku a hiki i £20 no ke kilokani.
