There is a massive spider under my bed…

[WindsChange]

And I can’t bloody find it now! I watched it scurry under there but by the time I got the spider grabber (humane!) it’s disappeared under there.
I have a fear of them. Is it likely to scurry into my mouth overnight .

Ask it to sweep up whilst it's there 😀 it won't cause you any problems, it'll just be looking for some insects to eat.

I'd sleep downstairs if I was you! I would also shut the bedroom door and put a towel against the bottom so it couldn't crawl out, then get a brave friend/neighbour to look for the 8 legged beast tomorrow!

Have you checked your jar of olives?

@BillyMack 😂
@WindsChange you cannot sleep in there 😱

Get the vacuum out

Burn the house down and leave.

@Trudeknows agreed, there’s nothing else for it… Henry hoover

You done your bit, you tried to save him and he done you dirty so…he has to go

I would totally do this but I'm terrified of spiders!!

I Henry hoovered one big ass spider once and the damn thing crawled back out. Only a burning and exorcism will save you

So am I!

If it helps, I can pretty much guarantee that they will not walk across you. I keep spiders and tarantulas as pets and they do not like to walk on human skin. They’re not daft - they know you’re a big scary monster! They just want to scurry from A to B without being seen by you or anyone else. It’ll be off down a crack and under your floor by now.

Yeah you need ro burn the house down and get the hell out of there!

Think I would be on the sofa tonight!

Spiders are our friends!!! Leave them alone ffs!!!

They are NOT my friends. Categorically.

It'll have long gone by now. Wish it well (spiders do an amazing job) and forget about it.

oh he’s okay ….i expect he just wants to live a peaceful life, imagine being petrified of being killed every second of your existence. They’re harmless and deserve their life as we do our lives

Really ? Would you really become an arsonist and lose thousands of pounds over a spider? you’d get no insurance as arson is arson ….really ? Over a spider 🤷🏻‍♀️

Do you need the name of a good real estate agent?

Hoover it up and then put the hoover under cover in the garden so it can crawl out far far away from you!

Once they go out of sight they cease to exist. Forget all about it!

@TwoMonthsOff I think you're taking people rather literally 😂 it's a long-standing Mumsnet joke to burn the house down. Nobody will actually do it...

I like them 🕷️

@Dogs4Ever I know ….imagine exposing that to the insurance Co
