Spider season

swingking

Big mothafcuker just spotted crawling inches from my head as I'm laying in bed about to fall asleep. It seems to be spider season at the moment.

I've already killed a few spotted in the bathroom and kitchen.

Anyone else experiencing any sightings of these hairy bastards ??

Always happens this time of year when the weather turns cold. Haven't slept in days.

I've seen two bigger than that. Both in the same summer about 7 or 8 years ago, thankfully never since.

I like spiders. Don't like flies much though. Spiders are our buddies, they keep the fly pop down
Except those winged bastards, extinction is too good for them

They're absolutely harmless, if you just leave them alone they'll crawl into the walls/under floors/etc and you won't see them for 6 months.

Spiders are brilliant.

That's exactly what I'd expect a spider to say.

Get him lads!

Yeah, I saw a big one on the other side of the curtain in the bathroom a while ago. I usually don't mind squishing and disposing of them but you have to choose your battles wisely....

I've no problem with them until they climb less than 2 feet from my pillow

lol, on a serious note though they are great for keeping flies and insects in check. I'd rather have a nice house spider than a load of ****ty flies landing on my food.

Aye, same here. There's times I want to leave them alone and I'm like "Right, come no closer and we're cool!" Fcukers never up for a deal though :P

No, no, that's not what I said at all.

I was lying on my bed a few nights ago when something caught my eye. Absolutely gigantic spider ran across my room and under my bed before I could do anything about it. Illustrating size is difficult, but it was like a good-sized daddy long-legs with a huge spider's body.

I haven't seen it since, because I know for a fact it's waiting under my bed with moistened lips for me to stick so much as a finger under there so it can brush against it and have me running for my life.

deco nate

wiithout spiders we would be run over with insects..
more to crawl into your mouth....ear..nose...hell

Spiders are frickin awesome.The other day I saw one pwning a wasp,take that you yellow and black striped bastard.Made my week it did.

charlemont

I always like having a few spiders around the apartment to keep the flies in check, Had a big one living by the windowsill and his victims remains (wasp and bluebottle) are still there but I think the spider himself has died RIP.

epgc3fyqirnbsx

Dragon flies are equally as cool cos they eat every little bastard who wants to bite you, even though they look like they want to eat your eyes

WindSock

I just spotted two different kinds there in my bathroom as I were a brushing my teeth. Thankfully the bigger of the two is the less scary, spindly kind. Wonder if the other one will eat it.

Lol. No. You're gonna have a hybrid spider on your hands, impervious to conventional killers, even rolled up news papers. You're as well off to move out

I had one go for a giant bee in my porch a few weeks ago. Ran off to get my camera and become a YouTube sensation but no card in it.
Instead then, I tried to break it up as I like bees and didn't want the spider getting bigger as it was the non spindly kind.
It was too late, the sticky web had ****ed that bees wings up good.

Hate those dreams where you wake up convinced a spider has ran across your bed. You spend the next few minutes trying to figure out if it's there or not.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS ONLY ME. And you're damn convinced even though you SWITCHED ON THE LIGHT when you woke up freaking out and couldn't possibly have seen a spider in the dark.

Thread comes up about these lads every September on this forum. They come in to avoid the cold, and despite their large size - they are actually harmless and helpful for killing flies which spread disease. They generally piss off at the end of October into hibernation or to a spider disco, or wherever they go..

Currently housing one guy in a takeaway bag that has been in my room for about a month now. He's a pet now so I don't want to upset his new home. I'm more scared of what the unopened 3 in 1 curry looks like at this stage to be honest.

Jess16

Can we please not talk about this? I've escaped well so far and I'm really sorry for the victims but I'd rather not experience their horror vicariously

OPENROAD

I show them no mercy!!!!

busyliving

In the last couple of weeks I've seen more spiders than I did in Oz:mad:...was in oz for 4 months

Kylo Ren

I killed one the other day. Massive prick. He then slid down the wall and behind my massive Pulp Fiction poster. The bottom of the poster must have caught his carcass and he remains there since!

wonton

I hate my phobia of spiders.

EverybodyLies

Some huge feckers around at the moment. Had one in the bath everyday for the last few days. I don't mind the small/medium ones but these ones are practically tarantulas. :pac:

Tubsandtiles

There was a massive one in my sitting room last week and the small ones seem to be everywhere

They don't come in to avoid the cold, they just move around more in autumn because it's mating season. Yes, most of these spiders are indoor spiders, they just hide better at other times of the year.

The biggest spider I've ever seen was my room the other night. He was as big as a small mouse. You can say all you want about them killing flies and insects but there is no way I'd be able to sleep knowing that fecker was scuttling about. I stood on him and he made a really loud crunching noise.

People are scared of something 1000 times smaller than them? :eek:

It's a strange world....:cool:

For me, it's a phobia; an irrational fear. I know they can't hurt me but that doesn't mean I can be in the same room as one. Once I know its there, I don't rest till it is gone.

Still, better than my family's fears; my brother can't stand large bodies of water and my mother is afraid of baloons.

I was reading the Unsolved Mysteries thread so I was already on edge, and this huuuuuge fooker of a spidey comes shooting up behind my PC. So I freak out, arms flapping an' all, and decide that I can't do anything till this yoke is gone. He was at least 5 inches long.

I grab a boot, but I decide that I'll be too close for comfort when killing him - he could easily jump on my face and kill me. Plus, it'll make a horrendous crunching sound, and stain the wall very badly.

I grab the hoover, and sit waiting for the fooker to make a reappearance. Out he pops, and he's sucked up and the hoover is thrown into the landing and I get a good nights sleep.

Cue two days later, and the muthafookin' spidey crawls up the exact same wall again :eek: Clearly, he's been faffing about when I'm at work, but he forgot that it was a Saturday and didn't turn his alarm off. So, I lash some coins into the hoover so that he gets a whack in the head when he gets in there, and await his appearance again, which he doesn't make for the rest of the day.

Gotta admire his determination. He was there this morning, in the same corner, just chillin' out. He's so feckin' big I could actually see him without my glasses on.

py2006

Did you know...on average we swallow 8-9 spiders a year in our seep! :eek:
