How can I catch this spider!

Carfal

Put some conkers in a dish nearby and brush the webs away. Spider will pack his/ her bags and head for the hills.

If you know where he sits, if it's the same spot, you could set up your vacuum cleaner so the end of the pipe is right beside where he sits. Then turn it on, but leave it unplugged. Then, plug it in in another room but leave the socket switch turned off.

Then walk away. An hour later or so .... just flick that switch ... he won't know what's hit him.

Oooh, PN, Im surprised at you, that is really sneaky lol

Is it making messy webs ?
If it looks like this
Then it can bite and cause very serious harm.

The old wives tail that spiders can not hurt you is seriously out of date, two foreign invaders in particular, the false widow and the tube spider will really mess up your next 6 months.
People have lost limbs that have been bitten by either of those two.

If it is either, get some spider spray before it gives birth.

This is a long winded way to catch it, but do you perhaps know an old lady who'd swallow a fly?

Could be a novel way of getting the spider to move out. :whistle:

I have one living in my wing mirror it is driving e loopy surviving car washes.
I hear that conkers repel the but how do you strap a conker to our wing mirror?

Aww I'm quite fond of my wing mirror spider buddy! Comes out to say hello every time I set off and then pops back in again shortly after. I get a little sad if he doesn't make an appearance!
