So I woke up to a load of baby spiders all over my kitchen ceiling aghghghg.

Have hovered them up using all my courage and now confused about what to do with the cleaner because they're still alive right? If I change the bag will they come at me? dh not home til 8 so I need to prevent my spider re-infestation also so scared that the mum will come and chase me!!!

Have black sack ready, Turn on hoover, wait 30 seconds, turn hoover off, quickly use black sack to put hoover bag in and dispose of black sack.

I know someone (not me, honest!) Who puts rice on the floor and Hoover's it up after. Apparently it's got a better chance of killing them but im assuming that's for just 1 average size spider not sure if it will work on baby ones!

Are you brave enough to change the bag outside? Wear rubber gloves and put bag into a bin liner and tightly tie up?

Then return to house and burn it down.

Ohno poor babies. Not what you want to hear sorry but can’t help it Sad

Not very helpful but do spiders not die if you hoover them up? I was convinced they did eyes hoover suspiciously.

Poor things.

Give them time and they’ll wander off.

Do you own a flame thrower op...if so...use it, start with the vacuum cleaner, then the kitchen ceiling (in case you've missed any), then the entire house, because the mum could be anywhere.

Billballbaggins · 27/03/2019 10:37

Burn the house down (with the vacuum cleaner inside) it’s the only way

MulderitsmeX · 27/03/2019 10:40

I DID IT.

Just have to go downstairs to put the bag in the bins, please pray that there aren't any more/a disgruntled parent tomorrow!

You've just sucked up a bunch of delicate 1mm critters into a whirling hurricane full of flying debris.

You don't have spiders in the bag. You have spider pate.
