AH FOOK !! They came early this year!!

Spiders don't really bother me, but last year it was like the feckers mutated, they were HUGE, and there was so many encounters; woke up in the wee hours one morning to find one was sharing my pillow, another joined me in the shower, and then there was Henry!

OP!!! Lavender cleaning spray??? Shur jaysus they love that stuff. That must be what's drawing them in. It's the feckin' Cedarwood that repels the bstards! It may already be too late...

There you go then, problem solved.
Probably best if I send the entire family, wouldn't want them being lonely or homesick!

Out of sight, out of mind OP? You do know the hoover doesn't kill it, a hoover bag is perfect conditions for a female spider to lay eggs. 100s of baby spiders.

Spiders are highly underrated.

Anything that kills those diseased fly bastards and creepy daddy longlegged things has my immediate respect.

Lavender worked as a deterrent last year, used buckets of the stuff.

I like spiders, they take care of the fecking blue bottles.

Earwigs (I think that's what they are) and woodlice, they give me the heebie jeebies.

If you saw a swan mother carrying her cygnets on her back you'd probably think it was cute though.

Swans don't crawl into your orifices while you sleep and lay their eggs though!!!

Wait till your house is invaded, you know there's never just one!
Don't worry about the ones you can see, worry about the ones you can't see!

It definitely worked in my house, found a bottle of fabreeze and started spritzing it around windows and vents and there didn't seem to be any more, or I didn't see them.

You were what now how?

bobin fudge

not bothered about spiders in the slightest, when im awake. Hate the thought of them crawling into my ears or mouth when im asleep though, or waking up and seeing dead spider all overmy face as I crushed it on the pillow

off topic but when I was a student I had a wasp nest outside my window, id wake up in the winter months and see about 5-10 huge dying wasps just sitting on the floor beside my bed

couldn't sleep for weeks hearing and seeing them coming in at night :eek:

Try waking up to find one of those massive ones on your pillow.
Making eye contact with a huge spider, in such close proximity, causes you to wake up much faster than Mother Nature ever intended.

Why though? They rarely bite. Most run a mile from you and the fact that you are 100000000000 times bigger kinda mitigates any fear factor.

Ya, about 6 years ago. Lucky I didn't go into anafalactic shock and choke according to A+E staff. My GF spotted the spider coming out of my mouth and seen the blood.

Have a serious phobia ever since. It was probably just a one in a million event though so I wouldn't worry.

Why the fcuk did I read this entire thread right before I go to sleep?

I knew it was going to be about spiders but I clicked on it anyway. Why do I do this to myself?

I don't know why everyone is afraid of the house spider, i usually mix a few of them up with my cornflakes for breakfast, they add a nice seasoned taste to them with the little legs floating around in the milk.

It's the damn mosquitoes that i'm worried about, they feast on me.

In the phobia thread, someone posted about a person who unknowingly had a spider egg laid in their ear, which (against my better judgment) made me Google it to see if it could be true; here's one to make everyone an arachnophobe: linky

I don't mind spiders that much; they tend to kill off some of the plague of moths that would otherwise be around in hot summers.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

**** sake the bolloxs have decided to come out early this year

The female hides herself in a dark, un-trafficked section of your house and then blasts the place with pheromones so as they'll "come get her". The ones you actually see are males wandering around looking for sex.

Once I learned this I instantly became a lot more sympathetic to the little feckers - who among us has never resorted to similarly desperate tactics in the middle of a dry spell?

I've clicked all the links so far, but I'm not going near that one. And the fact that it's the Daily Mail is (for once) the least of my objections.
