    Before we start hurling abuse at you for becoming so agitated at the sight of something thousands of times smaller than yourself (no, I'm not calling anyone fat) can you clarify if you're male or female.

    Great. I have to start Spiderwatch already??

    Although there is one thing worse than seeing a spider lurking in the corner of the room before going to sleep...when it's not there in the morning!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,551 ✭✭✭SeaFields


    I think its mental that in a quiet room on a wooden floor you can hear the feckers run across the floor :eek::D

    The cat loves spiders. Her favourite are moths / butterflies though. She'll eat ants too from time to time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,136 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    haha im male there probley my biggest fear i ****ing hate them and some of the big fecking yokes ive got in this house over last couple of years weather im so much bigger then them or not i dont care :pac:.

    They move so bloody quick so if i was to try and catch them i wouldnt stand a chance hover normally only way that works.

    I find last year wasnt as many in my front room where i always am when i blocked in holes or gaps in walls and sprayed lemon flash cleaner or lavender cleaner in all corners and sides the rooms and hovered more.

    And its actually true u can hear the ****ers crawling across the floor i found this out last year lol. Was sitting watching telly and taught i heard something moving noticed few mins later big bastard on wall in corner the room.

    Worst thing you can do is hoover them. The hoover bag is a perfect nest for their eggs. You could have hundreds of them coming from your hoover now

    Are those the type of spider that carry their eggs out from the nest(hoover bag)and then look for a host(usually a human or animal)to put the eggs in while they incubate?

    I remember once when I was about 15, I was heading to bed and when I pulled back the covers, there was a massive one crawling across the sheets. I legged it out of the room screaming my head off!! :D I slept on the sofa for a week after it.

    *shivers*


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,483 ✭✭✭✭blade1


    They won't harm you!
    Well not while you are awake anyway.
    When you go to bed and fall asleep then who knows what they'll get up to.

    Ah, they wont harm you :)

    Might I suggest something?

    Ok, I will :D

    Go outside early one morning and find a web and watch the work that mr and mrs spider put into it.
    They have no interest in you, only in surviving!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,324 ✭✭✭BillyMitchel


    Us city slickers don't see much more than your average daddy long legs so be nice if some of you fine folk living in greener pastures could post some photos of our 8 legged friends that share your humble abode.

    Look on the bright side, least you don't live in Oz or the Amazon jungle. That's some proper scary shìt right there.

    The ones outside i always look at there was one last year that lived in a bush across from my house for weeks lol.

    Its just the taught of a big spider somewhere in my front room and this room is a small room and no matter how much bigger i am then one of these feckers i will freeze if i see one right in front of me in the house. I dont like things invading my space :pac:.

    There the one thing i have a proper serious fear of i can stomach alot of things but i ****ing hate spiders so knowing the big ones are back now for the next few months has me on edge around the house cause im telling ya they only appear at the worse times here ! ha.

    So you're afraid of the one big one that you can see and easily remove as opposed to the million invisible ones crawling around in your bed and on your pillow.

    Okay then.

    Right thats it, I'm getting out of here now! It's just TOO MUCH information! Although I do have anti-allergy bed covers/pillows and duvets. I thought mites couldn't live in those, no?

    Can do better, if they start appearing in my house again this year, I can put some in a jar and pop them in the post to you, then you can have some of your own giant spiders. :D
