When the critters come into the house.
First pic was a few days ago, then another tonight on the bathroom wall (a big-ish bastard) (pics attached)


Seems to always be around August/September when these critters come into the house (more so). Anyone else notice that?
What causes them to come into the house more commonly at this time of the year anyone know?

They are attracted to paedophiles?

Last week as I was drifting of to sleep I felt something crawl over my arm I switched on the light and there was one of those fcukers on my duvet staring at me waiting to pounce, Im not normally afraid of spiders but this was a big one took me ages to get back asleep
I didnt know where it went then couldnt get back to sleep :mad:

Its due to the nights getting colder. You need to go to the chemist and ask them for the citrus oil that gets rid of spiders. Cant remember the name of it. Then put a few drops beside all vents in your house and they wont come back.

Ah shur the mice will be next, but they'll eat up the spiders, wot got fat on all the flies.

But what about the number of ear wigs there were this year hah?

Real bumper year.

I think spiders are totally awesome, they eat those disease spreading flies and those bastarding wasps.

VIVA le Spider!

Im not that afraid of spiders but this one was huge and just didn't want it crawling into my ear or mouth as I slept....... apparently the average human being will eat 8 spiders in their lifetime they crawl into your mouth as you sleep and you swallow them :eek:

Not if you check the room for spiders, curl up in the duvet & cover your mouth.
Big fear of spiders OP, so they don't get a chance to get to that size in my house & they certainly don't get near my ear or mouth.
Dirty, hairy fcukers.

I've found them under my sheets more than once, one of them a big fvcker too. I'm not fond of them as oppossed to screaming like a bitch over them, but those ones got a hefty puch in the everything for their troubles.

I think it's because they are beginning to die off.

The Express

Capture the little c*nts with an empty coffee jar. Let them climb up the side of it, then tip it over and close the lid.

If that doesn't work, smash the f*cker to pieces with a slipper or hot water bottle.

Job done.

I once overheard some people discussing this very same story of unknowingly consuming creepy crawlies. They were at the next table. At McDonald's.

It was probably wishful thinking, I know I'd rather eat a spider than a Big Mac! :pac:

This is a myth (a fairly retarded one at that) created by a journalist to see how fast disinformation can be disseminated on the Internet.

On topic, these spiders (Tegenaria Duellica) are around in Autumn because it's mating season, they're looking for lurve, they won't be as prevalent by October. They are the fastest spider in the world and their bite is potentially dangerous but it's very unlikely they will bite you.

BTW, these are giant house spiders, so most are likely to live in your house anyway, just normally they hide a bit better :eek:

Haha weird I just opened tris thread and noticed that every girl in the place was suddenly freaking out. There was one of them big garden spiders ya know the evil looking ones. There was a space of at least 5 or 6 foot around it as they all pointed and going eurgh eek and all them noises. I eventually found it under the divider and put a cup on it and flipped it over with a bit of paper underneath it. took up most of the cup and walking past one of the mates i just HAD to show her, headphones on, starin at the screen and i lower the cup infront of her... I've never seen someones eyes grow so big so quick and she flew half way cross the floor (seat is on wheels) bringing ipod and all with her. Ah i love this time of year!!!

Seen one of the eight legged scumbags in my room last night, darting across the floor under the wardrobe. Spent the next hour trying to find it because you just know the minute the light goes out it's going to appear on the bed somewhere. Never found the b@stard :mad:

Yeah I caught one of them hanging on the wall over my head when I woke up the last day, couldn't even fit his legs into the top of one of those jumbo sized coffee jars, I had to use a bit of paper to poke them back under. Its a common Giant House Spider I think, can give you a nasty nip (and they are fast) but less painful than say a wasp sting. Eviction time in the AN house for that lad, the wife voted him out.
