DannyB Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Anyone have the fat red spiders about where you live? had loads of encounters with these buggers! i hate them! Was lying in bed one night and saw these two black things approaching me from the top of the wardrobe, i turned the light on and saw then coming right at me! And my bedroom door is a dark brown colour, i opened it once and right in front of my face one was stealthing away right on the door! The worst one was i went to pick up my flannel to dip and wash me face with and one was in there and ran straight up my arm!! scared me a bit to say the least!! There out to get me!

Guest magic Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 just moved into my house and saw it when on the loo , it disapeared for about a week then reappeared downstairs twice as big so i had to kill it ( it looked more ant shaped than normal spiders , shorter legs). i also hate spiders and for this reason , haven't ventured into my attic and wont buy bannanas , sad i know. I was told recently a good way of killing them is by spraying butane lighter fluid over them , if u can catch them, they'll freeze and just crumble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom S Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I've learnt to love the huge spiders you get running into your house in Autumn. It's bug hunting season. I get my MP5 auto BB gun and mow them down in a hail of 6 mm plastic death. Once I had a near death moment when during a magazine change the spider turned round and decided attack was the best form of defence. But I rolled out of the way and nailed it with my manual Glock 17 sidearm. Never go gardening without it. all night I hate daddy long legs the most. I properly freak out and leg it. Can't help it although I know it is silly! They are so unpredictable and they fly AT ME! Not a moth fan either and discovered neither did I like butterflies when someone took me in a butterfly house - not good. Spiders aren't so bad but I will always remove or kill. softy;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Came downstairs to find a giant dead body on the floor (spider BTW), I wondered what all the noise was about last night - cats are great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your toilet isn't outside is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get them all the time in our old house. Lots of cavities to hide in. I normally just let them have a walk over me while I'm transporting them outside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlotte Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 One fitting the above description just ran across the lounge floor. I ran to the bedroom. Argggghhhhh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 well we've just spotted a HUGE spider on the wall of the stairs in our block of flats. The body of the spider itself was bigger than a 1p piece. I kid you not. Scared us sh*tless! We left it and got in our flat - i've been a bit paranoid about it since! Hope it's not there tomorrow when we go out... Or perhaps I should hope it IS there, so I actually know where it is, and know that it isn't lurking in the flat somewhere! Argh!
