    What the fook is the story with the huge spiders that are invading homes these days?

    Spiders and me get along in the sense that they stay over in their little bit of the place and I reside in my corner but now some of these spiders are FOOKING huge. They could eat my head in a few bites! Is it just my gaff that they are evolving into SUPER FOOKING SPIDERS?

    Anyone else seen these huge b'stards?

    :(

    had a massive one in my bath last year, tried to wash it down the plughole but he was too big, so hoovered it up!!

    Left the hoover hanging over the sink and lo and behold, it appeared again about 3 days later, so hoovered it up again!!

    I won second time around :D

    Forget the spiders, what about the gazillions of flies around. I was bitten by flies the other day about 6 times, yes bitten, the little feckers are getting out of control. I was up a ladder swinging a piece of 2" x 1" at em I could have died.

    Global warming might introduce some nice little nasties. Japan got the redback introduced in from Australia quite recently. As long as they keep the flies away they wouldnt bother me.

    I don't mind spiders at all, I hate flys though. More spiders in my house the happier I am. I especially like the ones that go mental spinning around on their web whenever anything goes near them.

    I thought this too. Huge increase in flies this year, not so many hover flies either.
    Maybe the spiders are getting bigger because there are more flies. :/

    Who knows? I don't like to wonder about these things, because it's one of those things where we'll never actually have the facts, and wondering is futile.

    All Irish insectologists and spidologists have been redeployed or are unemployed or depressed about the recession.

    Which is why no one qualified EVER comes to these threads about spiders to give us spider wonderers any factual information.

    Thats what I think...
