Is spider season over?

[EricNorthmansMistress]

I haven't seen any in a couple of weeks

We had a wing mirror pet spider. It seemed to quite enjoy our days out until a gust of wind put an end to it's jaunts with us. Ds was inconsolable.

God damn you all now I'm looking around intensely for the feckers

Tell them to come and see me .

Just got rid of a giant one after hearing DH shouting from the lounge!

What I want to know is why do the fuckers always race you back to the door when you let them out from under the glass?! I have to go right to the end of the drive now and then leg it back fast as I can with the bastards in hot pursuit!

Dear God , please tell me why for the love of all thats holy do I keep coming back to this thread

faints again

I will be using the bloody conkers to kill the bastards, I have a good aim .

Lol fit I was just wondering the same thing. But I have ordered the spider stop. Going to spray in all the places the spiders keep appearing.

Oh there's one with a legspan the size of a biscuit in my bath. Same as the one in my kitchen this morning, seems to have two big sucker type things on its head - are those its fangs? True that spider bites can be pretty sore. I thought you weren't supposed to kill spiders because they eat flies and keep the undesirable insect population down?

Don't kill them - their mates coming looking for them.

Mum thinks I should drape a towel over the bath to let the poor spiders get out of it alive.

Female spiders eat their mates

So would you use a towel after a spider could have scrambled all over it, or worse was hiding in the folds as you went to dry your face?!

Petisa - I think they are its penises (peni?)

wouldnt life be some much easier for us all if the male of our species had their dicks on their faces too?

I absolutely hate them. So much so that other people in the house who see one kill it before they see my reaction!

I put conkers all round the house about 2 weeks ago and suddenly loads started appearing - someone said to me that although conkers keep them away they also disturb the ones that are hiding when you put them out so they try to escape.

I haven't seen any since the influx of about 2 days worth. Except yesterday when I noticed a huge one which was outside on the house. I'm ashamed to say I sprayed it with weed killer. Evil, I know but I couldn't stand the thought of the thing getting in the house.

I keep seeing this thread coming up, and instead of hiding it, can anyone give me the answer to the title in a way where I don't have to read any appaulling stories of human/spider encounters please?

Lots of thanks

Garden ones don't bother me at all, no matter how big. It's those horrid scuttly ones (vomit and shudder at the same time)

Someone said they like dust so if you vacuum a lot you see fewer

Just walked into a massive spiders web with a huge beast in the middle of it when I went to take some rubbish out just now. Still shuddering.

I know several dickheads , does that count

My garden has now multiplied it spider population , I fear Harry and Charlotte have invited all their friends and family as I was happy to leave them in the garden.

However now my garden is looking like Miss Havershams drawing room I may be going out there with a broom handle

OH, and my trainers for a quick getaway

pray for me

Nope, definitely not over. I'm home alone and there's a massive one on the stairs. Too big to get round or climb over (sort of bigger then Sca Fell but not as big as Ben Nevis iyswim). What do I do? Sleep on the sofa do you think? But it did look as if it was on the way downstairs not up.

Judging by the giant Boris who watched me have my lunch in the kitchen today, hell no!

carabos - what I do when that happens is to get the hoover nozzle and hoover it up! That way you do have to get too close.

anyone hungry

Did the glass and card thing, took it outside and across the road in the hope that it would go into someone else's house so that it was well away, but it ran after me back to my side. It went under my car so it's only a matter of time before it comes back in again. What's the matter with the bloody things? It's warm and dry outside fgs.

I admire anyone kind enough to do the glass & card thing. In my house they go up in the hoover or are smacked under a shoe pronto. I cannot go to bed if there is one in the house and I don't know where it's gone.
