Just caught a false widow spider

[Teaandcrisps]

FREAkING OUT
What shall I do with it

Just put it outside on a bush or something

Calm the freaking out down and do what oldraver suggests

Put it in a bottle with the lid taped up with 10 miles
of sellotape then drive it to a forest somewhere.
Russia is nice this time of year.

Put it outside. I've got loads in my house. I leave them alone. Spiders only get evicted if they get to close to my bed or the sofa.

It might bite me

Or come back in

We get loads of those here. Only find them to be a problem if they get into the bedrooms!

You've got loads of false widow spiders in your house?
books flight to russia

Just stick a bit of card underneath it and chuck it outside.

eek

I'm an animal loving vegetarian but I would be sorely tempted to speedily despatch the hairy fucker. Sorry, not sorry.

What did you do in the end, Op?

Hoof - I'm frozen just standing in the corner of the hall repeating fuckety fuck fuck. I dont know.what to do with it. If I stick it in the bush outside it might come back in

Fire and hammers. Then sell house.

Drama

It's a really common and shy spider.

Leave the poor thing alone and stop reading all the scare mongering daily mail articles.

And they bite.

I'm going to put it in a Tupperware box

Scrap it into the hard floor and apply shoe!

Thanks for all your support not

Still cant get over how many folks have these spine chillers roaming freely round thier house.

Off to the woods.

Just let the poor thing go outside and calm down.

I've got loads in my house

Well there you go , Tea and Crisps - What's one more to Ohmsbeliever!!! Take it round!

I have seen so many people in rl left with nasty bites needing iv antibiotics form false widow, a non native spider I would kill. Kill. Kill. It.

No questions!

Why would anyone facilitate them breeding and take it to Woods! Where child climbing tree or something could get bitten it's a no brainer kill the bloody thing.

'Spine chillers'?

They're just spiders.

The bloody tabloids have an awful lot to answer for with all the ridiculous headlines about false widows in the past.

I've been googling. Apparently they only bite if provoked or trapped against skin and their bite is no worse than a wasp sting. So basically a lot of hysteria over very little.

Is that really a false widow? Didn't realise they had red legs
