To think the giant wolly legged tarantulas should leave my house now!

[wonka]

I've about 6 of those plug in spider chasers, there's loads of them and they are giant.. I hate this time of year

What do you mean, is it not the autumn when they tend to invade the house?

God now I'm looking around me too, I hate the buggers!

really, they come in now? I thought the buggers only did that in the autumn

Spring and Autumn.. How do they get so big.. can't imagine how big they'll be by Autumn???

Did you have to post this?

I'll come and pick your spiders up (by hand, no less) if you'll have blood tests on my behalf.

How about it? You won't get a better deal!

Spiders are no problem to handle, likewise snakes, rats, mice... but put a needle near me and I'll either pass out or punch out!

Send them round here. i love them. they eat all the horrible flies and webs are beautiful.

Vallhala its a deal!
ANy other small creature I can handle.. just not those 8 legged monsters..
Sorry SGB but my husband has left for a night shift leaving me alone with a huge one in the sitting room... so I've retreated to the bedroom for the protection of my sleeping children..
I had to share rather than cope alone!

I have not had a single large spider in my house since I put out the conkers.

You may laugh, but it is true.

(Of course I realise that incautious boasting will result in a massive spider influx...)

Batteryhuman I find your offer odd but it is warmly accepted! Now if I could open a line of communication and let them know where they are welcome???

HC concers???
I needed this information when I could obtain the mystical objects.. How does it work and where would I need to put them?

Conkers

God knows why it works, I have been laughed at on here about it but there were lots and lots of massive spiders in my house before the conkers and they stopped the day I put the conkers in each corner of each room.

I read a letter in the Times about it and thought it was worth a go.

I'll give it a try and support you next time you post... now where can I get some conkers? In the mean time I'll have Valhalla move in when DH is on nights in exchange for being a pin cushion.

Oh cack to conkers! They might chase the 8-legged monsters away but they lure in the four-footed little furry scuttling bastards!

get some cats - my four eat anything that moves/scuttles

Actually my mum put conkers everywhere, we laughed but it seemed to work! I'm going to try and train our rats to eat spiders..

LOL at the spider eating rat.. Would love a cat but Hubby Very allergic.. We're right beside a railway line so maybe it would encourage the mice in?
