I know it’s outside but it could come in couldn’t it?

Tell me that step is not a standard human foot sized step?! That spider is enormous if so!!

Also YANBU. Although possibly a little conservative. I’d burn the house down if I were you.

Having looked at the photo agin it might be a brick? Either way it’s massive. Burn it

@NoParticularPattern Yes its a brick not a step but still...

I’m keeping an eye on it. It hasn’t moved yet...probably waiting to pounce of my face I expect

I think you would hear it’s foot steps if it came inside! Is there not a giant welly boot or something you can use to squash it?

I’m all for letting creatures just carry on in their own way (which doesn’t disturb me) but having been bitten by a false widow twice which was hiding in my dressing gown last year i’m now quite happy to kill any spider that comes near me.

I don't get this fear of spiders. Just six legs more than us.

@cravingcake I’m sending DP out there armed with a work boot as soon as he’s in.

unless you are in Australia, you vs the spider is an unfair fight.

Take off and nuke it from orbit.

I'm going to sound like a grump here, but I never understand why otherwise sane adults get in such a tizz about a spider. I could understand if we were in Australia and it was poisonous or something, but in the UK spiders generally aren't anything to worry about.

You know what sort of spider that is, don't you?
It's a house spider. Yes, it wants to come in. It wants to evict you and move into your house. You need to leave now.

@KitKat all spiders can pose a risk (I would know, I'm Australian). Non-venemous spiders can still bite resulting in anaphylaxis or infections. Venemous spiders-self explanatory. Poisonous spiders-not an issue unless you intend to eat them.

Shit a brick that's huge.

I feckin hate spiders. My hands are getting clammy at that picture, you might want to ask if MNHQ can edit title and put a trigger warning on the title.

Sad
