To want a house with no spiders in it?

[WoopWoopitsthesoundofdaminties]

Surely IANBU to want to be able to walk into a room, or sit on my sofa, without freezing in terror at the sight of eight evil legs twinkling or drifting across the floor or hanging above my head.

I know they eat bugs. But I think I’d rather have the bugs. And how many bugs do they think they are going to catch in my (very clean, thank you very much) house? Why can’t they sod off to the garden where they belong?

I've always gave pity on the spindly thin ones as I know the attack and eat the thick hair house spiders.

But now our house is ingested with then, to the point I managed to wee all over the bathroom floor because I felt a spider on my bumholemid wee, he was chilling under the bit where the water comes out when you flush. Creepy little bastard.

I'm thinking about starting to kill them off, but I dknt want karma to bring me the big hairy house spiders :(

Best option is to buy a new build every couple of years

We didn't have spiders for the first year or so!

Oh god. Now a spider induced wee disaster is going to be my new worst nightmare!

I think most spiders would like a house with no humans. Awful, 2 legged murderers.

Totally infested here. Hoovered then all up today, spindly legged horrors!

Poppingoneoutin2020 I can't get the image out of my head of a spider on your bumhole 😆

I woke up to one lying across my right eye when I was 9yo. Any spiders since then have been nowhere near as scary.

Thankfully no spiders where I live. Cockroaches on the other hand... CRUNCH!

Sorry OP, I didnt mean to put it in your head as much as it is in mine!

I have to semi press the flush before i wee now to see if one comes out, even then I speed wee so I can be up and out of there in no time.

I've never wanted to bleach my arsehole so much in my life.

This! I miss those carefree spider less days when our house was new.

@HotPenguin NEITHER CAN I. Its truly etched into my brain for life.

I may need counselling

Peppermint oil. It worked! And it smells nice anyway. I mix peppermint and lemon.

Though I haven't spread it for few months now so they are back. One was exercising on my ceiling light.
Gone all the way to the floor and back up about 8 times😂

Old houses are the worst - We've been re- painting all the window frames this week and all the insides are totally clogged with dead spiders and webs - the house is full of them. My DH when he finds one, lovingly picks it up and puts it outside. No doubt it's straight back in

@popinoneoutin2020 a spider crawled on your bum hole???!!! Jesus that’s the worse thing I’ve read tonight!!!! 😂

Our house is 1975, the last owners have drilled s gape in the ceiling from the attic to the bedroom so that they could connect an airel to the TV.

I have nightmares about hundred if spiders bursting through the hole in the ceiling. Thankfully I've never actually seem one near it..

Our built in wardrobes seem to gather a fee though.. I have to shake my clothes

Someone once said to me that the spiders in your house are probably the descendants of the ones that wandered in when it was new, which could be 100+ years ago. He thought it was cool. I was horrified.

The spidery bum hole is just so traumatic

Oh I wish this was true @Retraintoday it is definitely less than our previous house but I still freeze in terror when I walk into each room. Our new build is near woods, and they’re just everywhere - all over the garden plants, small / large / spindly / fuckers!

And in the summer you open the windows, what then happens? More fuckin spiders

I feel your pain OP

That's actually cool

🤣🤣 I can laugh about it now I've tood someone other than my DP, I'm glad others are as traumatised as me.

I hope he didnt lay eggs in my bum.. only kidding, I'm pretty sure it was just a long gangly leg that actually touched my bumhole. The rest of him was perched lovingly on my left cheek.. < not envy.

I have loads of the spindly ones. I'm probably gonna jinx it now but I've only seen one (massive) black house spider, which I think came in through the window, so I'm hoping that the spindly spiders are nicely keeping the house spiders at bay. This is why I won't do the peppermint thing.

I think high-floor new build flats are your best bet.

I use Indorex in every crevice, we live rurally and there’s no way in hell I will live with a spider in the house. I don’t find them ‘cute’. The buggars are exterminated before they arrive.

If I see any in the stables they are killed by squashing them, that’s the deal with spiders.

No doubt I will get many of the normal MN responses of ‘its just a little spider’ FUCK right off with those responses. Have you had washing that was darked on and had spider willies dragged over it?

Do they grow quickly? I'm scared to ask people or google but I'm trying really hard to not be so scaredn! So there was a small spindly one next to my washing machine,....which I tried super hard to ignore!!! within a couple of days it was a hell of a lot bigger so therefore it had to go! Was it the same one? I do mean days!

This thread has reminded me to get some more peppermint spider spray, saw a big ass house spider last night (the most feared kind for me) - was very impressed at myself for not completely freaking out. Still got DH to sort it though, I'm not that brave!

Money spiders are fine, as are spindly daddy long legs sans wings because they're not as scuttly and I'm short sighted so as long as they stay on the ceiling corner I can pretend they ARE daddy long legs! Right I'm off to Amazon...

Spiders don't really live under toilet rims, do they?

Indorex every inch of your house! It kills them all and others too. Always have a few cans under the sink, any spider brave enough to tip up in my living room gets blasted with it

I will take your spiders and you can have my bastard wasps.
