Too many spiders

immoral_angeluk

I'm rather Arachnophbic (I say rather... HA!) and have just had a spider lower itself down within an inch of my face!!!:eek: Now I've regained my compsure I need to know the best way to get revenge on the little blighter.. preferably involving the most gruesome and rewarding method possible... I freaked and sprayed it with cleaning stuff but my experience tells me that instead of a dead spider I'll just have a pine fresh one.... help!!!

Edit - and is there any way of stopping them getting in the house in the first place?????

i hate them too, i usually safeguard myself and make sure he can't get me, by getting my largest saucepan and putting it over the wretched thing, then wait for oh to come home and deal with it

Sorry IA, but i hate it when people are cruel to animals, whoteva they are. just put a glass over it, slide sum paper under it and let it go outside.

Remember you may come back as a spider in your next life x:eek:

Hi immoral angel,

We have an older thread on spiders that should help so I've merged your thread with it as it helps to keep all the suggestions together.

:eek: *shudder*
Then again I'd rather come back as a spider than a fly that got eaten by one!
I normally leave DH to deal with them as I'm too chicken to go near the things. I'm not normally cruel to animals (even if they do scare the bejeebus out of me) but I panic when I'm on my own!

I really don't like spiders, think I developed a phobia from my parents last house that was built in the early 1700's. The place was riddled with huge black spiders. My parents refused to go into the loft after my Dad was bitten by one up there not long after we moved (picture terrified 10 year old as father is screaming after being bitten and his hand swells up). It was horrible till a different type of spider appeared (in the corner of the kitchen). The normal horrid black ones disappeared after that. Anyone know what kind of spider this is?:

The description of the spider that appeared in my parents kitchen was a body (that started out as) the size of a 50p piece. Grey body, and pale yellow elongated spots along it with grey/yellow stripey legs. Was told it wasn't a garden spider and it seemed to like the warm. Won't frighten you by telling you what size this thing was when we left that house. Its the only spider I put up with as it devoured everything else!

Would love to know what kind it was.

This thread reminded me of a few months ago .....
Hubby had removed a huge spider earlier in the evening when my DS noticed a fairly large one on the wall above the chimney. He dutifully removed said spider, with much fuss I might add, & he & DH were comparing/boasting about the sizes etc. So much so that DH was ignoring me as I went ..'Roger...Rog...Rog' until I poked his arm and pointed at his lap. While they were boasting an absolutely HUGE spider had run across the floor, straight up his leg & into his lap! :eek: He actually noticed the wieght of it as I pointed to it! I didnt know Hubby could screech that High!:o
Even more bizarrely a 4th one was spotted just as we went to bed scurrying under the TV! & I'm talking BIG spiders -pint glass jobs (except the lap-dancer!) who was too big & had to be kinda shuffled in tucking legs close on one side just to get him in! -took a while to get to sleep that night!

He did go a very interesting shade of white I have to say :rotfl:

I find my fear of spiders depends in who I'm with ..I can happilly pick a spider up with my bare hands of a friend who is pertified of them but if someone is less bothered than me, I can even get quite shaky looking at them..strange huh

My DD had one fall out of the towel she was about to wrap her wet hair in, straight down her cleavage - boy did she scream!:eek:

I'm scared of spiders most spiders we get huge ones in here so nothing i'm not used to seeing (we live just on out side of the country next to cornfields), I'm talking ones that are to big to sit at the bottom of a pint glass:eek: , other spiders i hate are think havest men spiders or daddy long legs (the spiders with teeny tiny bodies and big long legs**shivers**).

Please dont laugh here but I have one spider he isnt very big and hes lived here for a few years i call it lance I know its him because theres paint spekles on his back off painting the bathroom about 2 years ago lol, i just leave him alone as he doesnt bother me.

I have heard also conkers work but havent found a tree yet lol, I just get H to get a glass and chuck them out side lol wont kill spiders as i beleive its unlucky.
