Spiders!!!!!!!!

[cue dramatic tension music]

(can we have a new smilie? *a freaked out, horrified face*?? Hmm this'll do... )

So we've been getting at least two monster House Spiders crawling across our living room every day....it's freakin' sick. My blood pressure has sky-rocketed since all these beastly arachnids are making their appearences!!

Just wondered if anyone else has noticed an outbreak? Why the heck are they all appearing? Didn't remember this many last year...

...discuss

in the meantime, I'm praying that my spider plug will arrive tomorrow!!

It's the damp warm(ish) weather apparently...makes 'em thrive.
My house and car are covered in webs...fresh ones every morning.

Blinkin heck does Ross know these anti spider plugs are a smidge off £20 better check its ok with him first a cup and a bit of card slipped under to trap old boris is slightly more economical

Ahahahaha they're only little!!! Mind you I had one near my sleepy head a week ago, it was so big you could actually hear it walking (yes, seriously!) ....but it walked off somewhere else. I think it's dead now, saw a big spider corpse lurking in the corner ...guess I'll have to tidy it away at some point (the cats like them too, but they prefer them alive!)

This little fella chased my wife around the front room one night, i laughed my **** off, it seen a scared object running away and ran after it, twice around the 3 seater before kendra jumped on the setee.

oh and that is a normal drink coaster it is sat on. These are the ones you want to keep as they kill everything else that crawls in the house. Her fangs were 5mm long. (yes its a female what more would you expect)

Top tip Funky,
Get some conkers (its nearly that time of year) Put a few by your front and back doors.

Spiders hate them, ( don't start playing with them) .
I got the tip from the horse riding folk. stops webs in their posh trucks..

It does work, no spidies in my garage at home.

Bit harsh to blast them with ultrasonic and electromagnetic waves is it? Cant be to healthy to have that thing on 24/7..

Spiders in England are harmless, just because they look 'ugly' and scary to you doesn't mean they haven't got the right to be around...

I always welcome them in to my house, keeps the mosquitoes at bay, in fact lately here in France i have been feeding them horse flies and mosquitoes.

you'll like this then... I left it on the PC once, you could hear my wife scream 3 blocks away

They work great but this stuff is the best my wife will not go into a room even after the spider has been emoved so is just the worse person in the world for going off the edge when she sees one
but spray this stuff around door frames windows vents once a month and twice a month in this season and you will not see one

I have a HUGE one called Boris that lives in a cable duct in the garage - utterly harmless of course - he is fast across the floor alright.
But those lethal ones in Australia are proper scarey though - dunno the stats, but they kill X amount of kids and adults every year who are unlucky enough to encounter one in a shoe or whatever.

Raj, I bought that "no more spiders" spray and proceeded to spray all around the parimeter of the house (windows, door frames, skirting boards...) and guess what? I found MORE spiders. They love it. They actually started to appear in the exact areas I sprayed!! I swear it's a con! Besides, the smell is quite overwhelming!!!

Saw TWO MORE. Sick ones too.

Graham - that was a hefty spider there. Not sure who I feel more sorry for - your wife, who you laughed at while she was being chased by those fangs, or you - for the imminent consequences of laughing at your wife!!

James - Me and my sister used to use hair spray (not sure how good it is for the car) it worked great because its all sticky and uncomfortable for spiders.

I need to get me some conkers! Might take Ryan to the playground and beg for some....
