So, this morning, I went into the spare room and there was a massive spider on the ceiling.
it was huge! About the size of a saucer.
i went to get a chair to (rescue?) it and when I came back, IT HAD GONE!!!
where the hell is it?
I’ve shut the door but I need to go in there at some stage.
WHERE IS IT???
it’s not behind the door or chest of drawers, or bed. There’s not much else in there, it can’t have just disappeared!

it could be hanging on to the underneath the chest of drawers or bed, or hanging in a fold of the curtain. It could be anywhere! It was the size of a saucer with its legs out, it could be scrunched up and the size of a sunflower seed now.

It will find you. One day soon, you'll be in a different room entirely and you will sense that you are not alone....

Oh god!!! You’re not helping 😂.

You will find it’s outer layer shed on the floor. It will scuttle off into the crawl space and you won’t ever meet again

@ohyesidoi will in my nightmares!

I vote we nuke the entire site from orbit.
It's the only way to be sure.

This.
we have to be realistic, its the only way.

How can you be sure it’s still in that room? Those dudes move fast. 🕷️

twiddlingthumbs69 · 04/05/2025 20:13

I thinking nuking it is the only option. Either that or brick up every room in the house and go and live in the shed. Where’s there’s probably another little bastard anyway.

They are beneficial.

twiddlingthumbs69 · 05/05/2025 20:18

IVE FOUND IT!! It crawled with its spidery legs out of the room, down the stairs, along the hall, underneath a closed door and died in the middle of the carpet, presumably from exhaustion. Stand down all agents!

No, that was the smaller competitor that the larger one (which is in your hair btw) killed in a battle over the living room.

@twiddlingthumbs69 if you want to feel better, think on this.

Flys land on food, or any surface, and shit on it. Spiders eat flys but do not shit on your food.

Though they may, according to mumsnet law, rub their willys on your washing after dark.
