To worry about the spider that was on my bed earlier

I washed and dried the bedding and then brought it in a d started putting it on the bed. Sheet and pillow cases were on. I then was putting the duvet cover on and saw a spider (the thin wispy kind) crawl across the bed to the opposite side. Not sure where it went. I went around the area with the hoover but don't think I got it.

I've since checked up there twice, sprayed some spider deterrent around the area and put on the duvet and made the bed...

I've always been arachnophobic. I have improved over the years and can tolerate the wispy kind even in the bedroom (eg on the ceiling) if they don't come near me but this one was ON THE BED so I'm not sure I can comfortably be in the bed?!

What else can I do?

Not helpful to read that tonight roopy but I'm sorry you experienced that

Thank you @Somethingsnappy

Like I said, I accept they kill the others and had several in the corners of my bedroom recently but they were on the ceiling in the corners and that was ok!

In bed now feeding baby

It'll be fine now! Long gone. High up and busy protecting your room from other invaders. Sleep well and don't give it another thought. I'm just about to take my baby to bed for a feed too. We have a Pholcidae up in one corner of the room. Been there for weeks Smile

As a teen I looked after my Aunts house while she was on holiday. I went up to bed one night and there was a massive spider on the wall, after panicking for about 15 mins I plucked up the courage to try to catch it in a cup. Big mistake, it fell on the floor and ran behind the drawers so I couldn't get it. I took the duvet and slept downstairs on the settee for the rest of my time there 😂
