To ignore a cupboard full of baby spiders?

[BetsyBell]

I just got out a torch to retrieve a utensil from the back of a large corner cupboard in the kitchen and the light revealed many families of spiders, including a large, pre-natal mummy spider.

I'm not phobic of the 8-legged beasties, or indeed too bothered about sterile kitchen environments, but it has grossed me out a little bit.

It's a well used cupboard with all of my pots and pans in.

I can't bring myself to hoover them out so am I being unreasonable to pretend I never saw what I saw?

Must have been covered with spider poo - spider poo, Camembert and tomato, yum.

Oh my god burn your house down wtf!

Feeling sick now. Wish I hadn't opened this. (Nervously looks at kitchen cupboards)

Why the hell did I think I could read this thread and not feel sick!

Move house. Just don't tell the estate agent, FFS.

Am giggling at various wimmin who are cackling and demanding you incinerate your house. :)

I have a thought for you. Spiders eat FLIES. Shit carrying little bastards.

Hurrah for spiders!!!

I like spiders marybennett

But I think they are eating each other for lack of other food - a pans cupboard doesn't attract many passing flies.

So I will set them free in a better place when I'm feeling less lazy

Right, I've rescued some of the spiders. That picture of the big spider surrounded by babies above, well there were only about 5 live small spiders left and the big spider had a massive egg sac. I think she isn't their mother, I think she'd been eating them.

YUK. I've gone off them now.

So 3 big spiders evicted plus the newest babies, all put on to the rose bushes instead. There are still at least 2 big spiders at the back, but out of reach and behind the carousel. And they're good at hiding. So I'll leave them for now and wait until/if they get in range.
