SPIDERS! \n

lopesc

Anybody know what kind of spider this is, and if I should be concerned?

cherryghost

This is the boardsilus venomous, a well known troll spider. The spider will politely leave your home if you prove an OP wrong in an AH thread.

That's a rat. You've got rats.

Someone will be along shortly to tell you what to do.

The bird/mammal/marsupial hybrid yoke is definitely poisonous, the spiders only parf.

Eh! Don't you mean venomous.

Poisonous is only a worry if you plan on eating the muder fcukin thing.

Probably a Eratigena atrica, the giant house spider.
If not a Tegenaria, whatever, they are all harmless.

Spiders, mice, rats. Big spiders. Little spiders. Stationary spiders. Extremely fast spiders. Where are they all coming from??

I have never seen one of those before OP. You should Google 'spiders with long legs, Ireland'

afaik, the only one to be worried about is the False Widow spider which has recently appeared in Ireland.

I suppose on the grand spider scale 200 years could be considered recent enough.

Just found a massive spider in my garden. Never seen anything as big in Ireland before. Has a gigantic bulb on it's back.

Half pondering whether to ring a vet tbh.

Looks like a false widow spider but if it is - it looks much bigger than I have read about!

Well Alexa just showed a news feed where a black widow was found in a crate.

Put some peanut butter on your balls, and some cottage cheese on your hole. Say “here spidey spidey”. If it goes for the peanut butter its a female, if it goes for the cheese its like totally gay

Ive found some peanut butter but can only find an old half packet of dried out Philadelphia, will that do the same trick?

False widows are only a little bit venomous. You can allow them to walk across your hand (as opposed to picking them up) and they generally won't bite. I'd rather have a hundred of them in the house than one wasp, tbh.

Sure, why not..

That's not a spider.


Spiders have eight legs.

I really tried to not click on this thread, I couldn't help myself. The time is coming for them, I hate, hate them, and I'm terrified of them, if I see one I'm up on a chair until someone kindly gets rid of it. I have already started spraying my peppermint oil around, and I found it mostly worked last year.

All spiders are venomous.

Ah Jaysus, already? I thought we had another month or so before these feckin' behemoths made their presence known. :mad:

If they give you an adrenaline bolt like they do with me, this tidbit might soften the horror somewhat - the reason they come out in the Autumn is because it's their mating season. The female hides somewhere in your gaff (you're fairly unlikely to ever see her, they like dark, secluded spaces with little to no activity or movement or stuff) and starts pumping out pheromones, which are like seduction gas. So the lads you see wandering aimlessly around the place are just horny feckers looking for sex

I mean like, as much as big spiders give most people the willies, we can probably all relate to and sympathise with the poor lads on some level

Giant house spider op. Big fcukers but they're harmless and just looking for the ride.

If you fear these beasts go see a hypnotherapist.. I used to have the worst phobia ever. Not anymore. 10 sessions and at the end was able to hold a bird eating tarantula. Not even that expensive and worth it for all I’ve saved in boxer shorts since.
