[SmileEachDay]

One of those massive, massive bastarding black house spiders has moved in to the top corner of my living room.

What the fuck do I do? I can't hoover it because it might...I can't even say it....but fall...you know? I can't just leave it because it gives me THE HORRORS.

😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

There was one in the sink at work last week. My colleague almost fainted when I picked it up with my bare hands and put it outside

Is it spider season already? Thought they didn't usually come out until September/October time?

Take off and nuke the entire site from orbit.

It's the only way to be sure.

Next day delivery too.

What would a world without spiders be like?
"Spiders are the dominant terrestrial predators on the planet. There are more individual spiders, and spider species, than in any other group of predators. (There are 36,000 known varieties and one acre of meadow in late summer has been estimated to contain more than 2 million spiders!) I've also read that they eat a lot. Assuming an average consumption of 0.1 grams of prey per spider per day, the spiders in one hectare of forest would consume 47,500 kilograms of prey per year--which is equal to 47.5 metric tons of insects! Hence, spiders play a vital role in the terrestrial food chain because they structure insect communities wherever they occur. Without all those spiders, insect populations would explode, food crops would be decimated, ecological balances would be ravaged, and humans would probably starve within a matter of months – if they hadn’t already died from insect borne diseases."

I love spiders.

Glad you aren't going to hurt the spider op!

Get a bugcatcha or similarly named thing. Buy a few, and use the handles to extend so you can catch the spider without being too near it. Nudge the spider into the perspex catcher bit, gently close the lid and DON'T LOOK AT IT CLOSE UP OR YOU WILL FAINT. Take it to a neighbouring town and let it out. Run away fast.

Usually accompanied by a lot of screaming in my house, and sometimes the spider gets crushed accidentally. But we try. I keep a bugcatcha upstairs and downstairs so there is always one available. We get the big hairy feckers. I accidentally touched one once. I can still feel it.

When they're that big the only action is suck them into a vacuum cleaner, preferably a cyclonic one because then you don't have to worry about them crawling out of the bag... I don't like to kill them, but when they are that big it's me or them I'm afraid. You can't do the glass and paper thing with those huge ones, they're wise to it! Ugh hate spiders!
Hate butterflies too and crane flies and stick insects...do you see a pattern?

Get a friend like me! A huge spider was at my friend's house, she was very brave and trapped it under a glass, which was a big thing for her as she is petrified of them. She got hold of me at 11 at night so i went down there ( in my pj's I might add!) and sorted it for her by taking it outside. I'm available! X

Give Donald Trump a bell, he's itching to try one of these nooclear weapons he's got lots of. It'll gibe him an excuse to shoo off to Kim jon l wotisname:!".

I use the pole form the loft hatch... slide it up the wall quickly and no more spider.

If it moved to the floor - old style yellow pages with some kitchen roll wrapped around and throw.. then leave for significant other (or my 8 yr old.to deal with)

The bug catchers are OK for small spiders but not so much for the big aragog style ones.

I'm terrified of them. I know it is irrational but that's how a phobia works. If I can contain it until somebody else can deal with it I will or if it's small I will deal with it myself. However there has been one occasion where I had to hoover one. I'd rather not have to but needs must as the devil drives.

Don't mind spiders in spidery places like outside. Can't even bare the thought of them inside.

"I say we take off, nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure"

Putting house spiders outside tends to kill them anyway, just more slowly. They don't live outside, they live inside. They are house spiders. So if you want to be kind but still get rid, frankly you are better with the split-second smoosh than putting the spider out into a dangerous cold place full of hungry birds and the like! It'll either make its way straight back inside or it's buggered anyway.

My former cleaner used to hoover them up but then she'd try and hoover up some flies or other insects so the spider wouldn't starve in the bag.
God, my place sounds like a real pigsty

I discovered one in my bathroom last night. I told my housemate we couldn't use the bathroom anymore and we'd have to get a bucket. She quite happily put him outside for me because she is the single most wonderful human being in the entire world.
I wish you luck with yours.

Big girl pants needed (to smother it, obvs)

Burn the house down and then swear to God it wasn't you.

Why do people get so annoyed with arachnophobics? Save your anger for people who are scared of inanimate objects like buttons and potatoes.

YABU It's a spider, not a sodding black mamba snake. Grow the fuck up.

titty

That hasn't occurred to me. Yes, I'll stop being so childish.

Nope, still phobic.

Blimey...

My spider catcher gadget is brilliant, I'd recommend it to anyone who is scared of them
