It helps if you do so using the hot water tap. Otherwise I've known the little blighters to cling on and wait for the deluge to pass before re-emerging.

That's why I put the bath plug in afterwards.

Sealant around any holes in the floors/ walls where cables are tracked- that sorted out more than a few.


What you have to be careful of- there isn't one hiding and watching while you kill it's mate- it'll return hours later with a vengeful spider army!

ahaha absolute class! I'll wake up in the middle of the night being carried away by swarms of them.

Just don't tell this to an impressionable 10 year old though

I thought you meant jehovas witnesses.:p:p

:rotfl:

Quite conincidently the same day we have two jehovas witnesses visit together. Personally I don't care for their rubbish but my partner answered the door and decribed them afterwards as "the nicest and sweetest ladies she has ever met". Because of this she didn't want to seem rude to listened for about 10 minutes. Personally I would have just told them to do one.

Aww, cute! A fella who's scared of spiders!

Seriously, arcon, if they really trouble you to the point it impacts on your day-to-day existence, i.e. you actually come to fear a particular time of year(!), have you thought about talking to your GP about phobia therapies?

Admittedly the fear has improved over the last couple of year. If I see one a few meters away I would go into an absolute panic, now i'm able to remain relatively calm.

I'm not frightened on the tiny little things nowadays (moneyspiders I think!).


Its the cringe worthy moments we all find ourselves in that end in regressing to a 2 year old... whn your in the shower perhaps, grab forthe shampoo bottle and the !!!!!! is behind the bottle :eek:

I'm sure you all know the moments :eek:

Unbelievably my partner used to be equally as scared of them, but these days she seems to have majorly overcome that --- probably down to not wanting to look pathetic like me when they appear from nowhere :d

There was a bloomin ginormous spider on our kitchen wall the other day. Wife captured spider with the aid of an empty glass jar and released it back into the wild. Two days later the damn thing was back again.

She operates a Two Strikes Law.

And there was I thinking of sparing their lives in the future:eek:

Do you have children out of curiosity?

Just curiose about how they feel about them if so.

An old saying passed down from my Grandad, "let spiders stay alive, and you will thrive".
