What would you do? (Spiders involved)

[JoyS]

Fairly certain I'm BU but don't really care.

We have a pretty nice 3-wheeler pushchair. About a week ago I was on my way out the door with it, stopped to put the seat back so DD could have a nap and noticed that a giant spider had NESTED underneath the seat liner, right next to DD's head.

When I say giant, I mean the size of a 10p coin. And nested as in, with eggs.

So I have bought a new pushchair (that's the unreasonable part) but what to do with the 3-wheeler?

A)Clean out spiders and sell it on mumsnet or similar (anybody want to buy a pushchair?)

B)Clean out spiders and continue to use it

C)Take it to the tip (would have to go in the car then)

Any opinions? Any advice?

I would require it to be incinerated somewhere far, far away

Couldn't for a NANOSECOND contemplate re-using it

Would faint clean away at the sight of it and would be in therapy RIGHT NOW about the entire experience

clean it out and use it. I'd hoover the little blighters up

Well I'd just have taken it out and shaken it out, and shaken out all the spiderlings too. But am not bothered by spiders.

Really? You bought a new pushchair because of a spider sac? Wow.

Put pushchair in shed/garden until spiderlings have hatched and gone, then use/sell/freecycle as you wish.
Live and let live

Another vote for the vacuum cleaner here!

spider sac

I feel sick

send the DH out with the pressure washer...

Sorry but have any of you ever hoovered up a Big spider? We did once and then watched in horror as it scuttled round inside the dyson canister looking for a way out.

DH and I are both total saddos about spiders, in that instance we put the hoover in the garden for 2 days until the beast was gone.

I don't know why there are such giant spiders in this part of london and why they love my house so much.

I would've bought another pushchair too

once had my dad drive 3h to get a spider out of my kitchen

i was 21 at the time .. I hadn't eaten all day because of the spider

I would leave the nest. Don't get rid of the little ones! What would spidernet say?

Donnylass , had the spider eaten all of your food?

That's a big one!

i wouldn't even bother removing spiders and would still be using buggy tbh.

i love them and am allergic to tonnes of fly bites so the more spiders in my life the happier i am. kids would love it too, great experiance for them to watch them hatch.

we had a spider nest outside the door all winter and it hatched last week, even dp who is terrified of them was really chuffed to see all the little spiders making their itty bitty webs

You are barking.

PinkTulips, you are copletely bonkers, in my book

That is what Momma Mirabelle's Home Movies and It's Our Planet is for

Hoover then spray poison down the end of the nozzle

Or safely encase them in the Dyson and then watch them hatch

you are considering tipping a buggy because of a spider?

jeez you are being utterly unreasonable.

send it here with spiders, i will clean it up and send it on to someone who needs it, maybe even the refuge.

I am terrified of spiders so would have got DH to clear the spiders off. I wouldn't have bought a new one because of some spiders, unless of course I wanted a new buggy and saw this as a good excuse!

Yes you are completley barking, but I love you, you could have bought a new hoover as well once you had sucked it up.

Speaking of spider sacs. I found one in my garden last week, it was on the cover of my garden parasol. I got a stick and picked it off, at that very moment, these little green spiders started coming out of it. They were tiny but I couldn't just leave them so I disposed of them (under my foot )

Hmmm, would quite like a new hoover, our dyson is old and clunky.

Hang on, the "giant" spider was the size of a 10p coin? Eh? That's not big! Do you mean the body was that size, or the total legspan?

I'm also scared shiteless of em, and could not have removed my child from the pram if there'd been a giant spider underneath. In fact, I'd probably have to write off the child and the pram, tbh. (Child might have got spider eggs in hair or ears and thus become a hatching hazard in weeks to come. Feck that.)

We had a mouse nest in our sandpit last year.

I wouldn't let the kids use the sand until the mice had all grown up and left home...

PMSL at BEAUTIFUL

Though you are the first arachnophobe I've encountered who doesn't describe every single spider as "huge"!

OMG Beautiful what size are the spiders where you live? Do you mean to say that England has bigger spiders than these? Have lived in CA and NYC and never seen anything like these things.
