They can easily be dispatched with any ranged weapon including the Hookshot, Boomerang, Beetle and Bow. The shock waves produced by the Megaton Hammer when it strikes the ground at the foot of a wall covered with Walltulas will also work surprisingly well. It is usually necessary to destroy these creatures before climbing up a vine covered surface, as their scurrying attack is extremely hard, if not impossible in some places to avoid. The Walltula's scratching sound can be confused with that of a Gold Skulltula at times, but varies slightly.
