    Jaysus I swear I dislike alot of things but I 100 percent purely hate spiders with a passon.

    My front room down stairs were have me tv pc etc every year big black ****ers appear around august September.

    So bout an hour ago just heading to bed I spot this big thing in corner under where my front window is **** is first thing comes to mind. So I think right bollox how do I get rid so head outside grab the hover and can the most toxic bug spray can find and head bk in.

    So after bout five minutes eying the ****e up I spray him!! He legs it down onto floor and under a chair again ****!!

    So he moves again in behind the door I've no idea where he's gone at this stage I'm in the hall thinking great that's my front room gone burn it to the ground!! But then I spot him leg it up over step and onto stairs into corner of bottom step. I plaster him in spray he's turning white I can hear the spray/carpet sizzle I stop he moves !! More spray he finally turns on his bk and I grab hover and he's gone!!!!

    ****ing sweating it afterwards everything looks like a spider now as I'm lying in me bed haha.

    Think next year come august I'm going into some kinda cryogenic chamber until there all fecking gone again........

    Spiders don't bother me, can't stand cockroaches though, and there's loads of them here too!

    Give me a spider over a flying nuisance any time. A spider will sit in the corner minding his own business and never bother anyone.

    Flies have to go out of their way to land on my food! Moths just want to bump against the television screen all night! And wasps? These feckers only goal in life is to get caught between the curtain and the window pane. Buzz, buzz, buzz all day until SMACK!

    A benifit of having spiders in the house is that the annoyance of these utter cnuts is diminished whenever the spider needs a snack!

    Just because you can't see a spider in the room, doesn't mean there isn't one there.....watching you.

    If it wasn't for spiders the world would be knee-deep in flies after one year.

    And it could have been worse, it could have been this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Whipscorpion.jpg

    If there was a choice of flies or spiders around the house I would choose spiders. They kill off flies and don't harm anyone. Flies on the other hand are disgusting, they land on dog poo and then on the butter and what ever else. People that kill house spiders for no reason are idiots. .

    As I'm an armchair arachnologist (used to be arachnophobic, know your enemy and all that), I'll clear up a few misconceptions about these guys (Tegenaria Duellica).

    Giant House Spider is the commone name, and the clue is in the name. They don't come in from the outside, they are indoor spiders and can only live indoors. The reason they are more visible these days is that August - October is mating season, so they're looking for lurve. That's right, they've been in your house this whole time. Some people gather them up and leave them outside, thinking it's nicer than killing them. It's not, they won't survive long outside due to the inconstant temperature an unfamiliar environment.

    Random facts: they are the fastest spider in the world (which will scarcely surprise anyone who has seem them at full pelt, the human eye cannot track the movement at all). Wikipedia says their legspan can reach 75mm, personally I think this is conservative as I found one whose legspan approached that of the stuffed tarantula on my wall. They are heavy and tough (they can be heard scurrying across wooden floors) but really limber so can squeeze into and under the tightest spaces

    How did the House Spider manage before there were houses? And more importantly how do I get the b*stards out of my car??

    They evolved to live in houses. Been with us since the days of the Roman Empire apparantly.

    I would not want one of these guys in my car, could cause a crash due to a reflex reaction. A good hoover is in order

    I forgot they were coming out again. Damn them. Guess I better clean up my room. Haha, right. There's a mouse in my room for as long as I've been aware (he ate one of my books) and I've never seen him. The spiders can hide. What I don't see wont scare me.

    Probably because they could be dangerous. You're better of running than getting a poisonous bite. Therefore anyone who always ran from spiders would have an evolutionary advantage?

    My sister hates them but I don't mind them too much. Even the big black guys that leave footprints in the carpet. And sometimes they carry knives...

    I just pick them up and throw them out the window.

    That's it, it like a fear of snakes. Either could be dangerous and it's not dependant on the size

    Oh god I'm freaked. the photo of the one in the kitchen is horrible. They are the ones I get in the apartment.

    They may stay hidden otherwise they'll be getting squished by a shoe. I'm not even brave enough to kill them actually, they know it as well. :( they are so bloody fast its creepy. If I see one I will scream the place down and ring someone with a penis to come get rid of it

    Yes, correct, bird eating spiders!!:eek: I had one on my bed when I lived there, I swear the matress was moving when the thing walked.

    Or the Trapdoor spider? How sneaky can the b**tards get?

    Yes, apparantly it's true alright that you eat 4-8 in you sleep during your lifetime. I read it somewhere. :p

    Yeeeeeeah :p

    Biggest spider I've seen in Ireland was about 7 inches across. It was hanging out on a curtain in the doorway of the conservatory at my parents' house. Me and my dad named it Curtain Spider and my dad lived in fear of it for four days, till what we assume was the same spider showed up in the kitchen being tortured and delegged by the cat, so my mother slapped it with a shoe. I'm glad I was on my way back to Dublin the day we discovered it. RIP Curtain Spider.

    I figure if I'm going to eat 8 spiders in my lifetime, let's say I live until I'm 80 average it out, I won't eat another one until I'm 25....that's how I sleep at night. When I turn 25 I will be a walking zombie

    Didn't you say before you weren't scared of spiders?


    You all need to man up! The spiders here are harmless, have no interest in you and they kill flies. I have a couple of big ones in my house and I think they're cute:) - I always rescue them when they get trapped in the sinks/shower/bath and put them back on the floor.
