To be worried about spiders in the curtains.

I need to take some long length wide french pleat curtains down in the living room and I am convinced a giant spider is living in the pleats. I saw movement once, maybe a leg. I am not sure as it was dusk. What if it jumps out on me?

What shall I do?
YABU - take them down you wimp
YANBU - do not take them down, run for the hills

You’d think, @OSTMusTisNT, but mine would just watch the massive bastards terrorising me like it was entertainment laid on for them! Little gorgeous furry gits 😂

Don’t worry about that. Just burn it to the ground and start over!

Get a cat, they will destroy all curtains and deal with any bonus arachnids.

Pay someone to take them down.

Not worth the risk of the scuttling little bastards getting on you

Hit them with a broom from the maximum possible distance, for at least a year before taking down. Then only when you are absolutely sure a hostile environment for spiders has been created, risk touching them with the human hand.

Commenting as a fellow spider um lover.

Arm yourself with a hoover with the long attachment connected.
Poke Poke Poke.
No beasties = all is well.
Beastie = suction

Vacuum a penny down afterwards as shrapnel, if so inclined.
