The poor lady has made it clear what she wanted Asda to do, get pest control to treat the whole of her home, so that she can sleep peacefully in her own bed! Jeeze you guys on here are so unfriendly sometimes!

No what she wants is compo as they all do.

Why would ASDA bring in and pay for pest control when the spider itself has not even been sighted. Just "eggs" and even then we haven't confirmed what kind of eggs.

She called pest control herself and they said they would not come out unless they saw a spider.

All this fuss and I bet my hat there was no bloody spider to begin with!

The lady in question reports on other threads that she had to flee from an abusive relationship. I suspect this has left her vulnerable to stress and asda did not help her stress here.
She said this
"I got a picture of the egg sacks. The manager at the store said that it was and then athe lady from the customer service phoned me and said yes they were eggs of that spider "

Still no proof of a spider though.

What is the point?

Do you expect ASDA to send out pest control to every Tom, !!!!!! and Harry who think they have some eggs in their bananas? ASDA are a business not a charity. They have no legal (or moral in my opinion) obligation to send out pest control for something that the customer hasnt even seen.

Thank you for all your comments. They were eggs but the bananas were in my fruit bowl before I noticed them for two days. Everything was pointing to the fact it was the poisonous spider and now I am fighting with the results of the shock. They told me that they would investigate it and come back to me with the outcome but they never did. Only the phone call where they said yes it was but the mum would not survive.
Any way I would expect them to acknowledge my complaint and subject access request. I hope it was not that spider, but I do not know.

"I don’t know where England gets its bananas from, but Brazil does not export many bananas," Vetter said. If the bananas in question came from Ecuador — the world's largest exporter of bananas — or any other banana-producing nation, then those eggs didn't belong to one of the "deadly" species of Brazilian wandering spiders, he added.

All the bananas I've seen in supermarkets recently have been from Colombia or Costa Rica, I guess it's their season.
