    There are two spiders in my room (y'know those daddylongleg yolks but without the wings)

    I don't mind insects at all but I hate these guys. Even the way they move make me shiver. Anyway... I just ran across my room to switch the light off. And legged it back to my bed quickly in case one landed on me and then I shuddered a bit. Now one of them is crawling up my door. Yuck. :(:(

    Horrible, ugly, leggy, b@stards :( It's like a f*cking comma with legs :(

    Most likely a male and a female.

    Always found it facinating how they can reproduce so quickly. The female can lay up to 90 eggs in a night and they hatch within a few hours.

    It's rare that you see two indoors like that.

    I think you should pick them up and realise they can't hurt you even if they wanted, which they don't :p
    Then you will all live happily every after and poeple will call you the spider lady.

    And what if you have no choice in the matter? What if it's fate that tonight you'll be bitten by a mutant spider and turn into some sort of spider lady and run around climbing walls and fighting crime? You'd be turning your back on the world to deny your destiny, Spiderlady.

    Yes, PM adress and I'll be right over to show you, damn somebody already said that. :pac:
    Nothing you can do about spiders, they are pretty much always near you, but at least they are harmless and mostly keep out of sight/to themselves.

    yeah, if you get a spray or powder in the hardware (preferably something with 'permetherin' in it), and spray/apply it around the edges of the floor/skirting boards. Lift the carpet edges if you're using powder and apply it underneath the edges, all around the room.

    should keep em away ;)

    ps: USE A FACEMASK when spraying


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,110 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    They will adapt and grow, then what you gonna do!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,072 ✭✭✭marcsignal

    and if you dont use a facemask you'll hallucinate and start seeing much bigger spiders everywhere :D

    Ugh.. as long as I have the power to tell them to stay the hell off of my walls :(

    The mutation could very well go wrong, and leave you as some half-spider monster with an odd amount of limbs, or a couple of extra stubby ones, 3 malformed eyes, and a malfunctioning silk sac. Who knows with these things? Peter Parker probably got lucky.

    I've a long leg here too, just waiting for you.

    more spiders = less flies

    You're on a winner !

    I'll never understand why people tolerate flies but detest spiders:confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 250 ✭✭Fugly


    Did Charlotte's web teach you people nothing!?!:mad::rolleyes:

    I thought the pics were great and kind of cute. I like the arachnids! But I don't like them near my food or bed {or perving at me in the shower :o!!}.
    It's ok go to sleep, you'll wake up they'll be gone and you'll spend the day wondering if you slept with your mouth open and ate them.. :rolleyes:

    :cool::cool:
    We're lucky as they are harmless, {you're causing yourself the unwanted stress not it and as they act as an effective biocontrol for less pleasant creatures}


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 717 ✭✭✭charlesanto


    I will sleep happy with the though of spiders crawling slowly thru my room.
    I detest the thought of **** laden spiders landing on me while i sleep.
