Spider in the room

Mrs Garth Brooks

I've got a spider in the bedroom. I can't reach it as its in the corner, in the ceiling, over the wardrobe.

I've got the window open hoping it will crawl out sometime. Or the cat might come in and eat it if it was to come near me.

Its a massive spider. What do I do.

Witcher

You eat it, fcuk the cat.

Birneybau

Sleep with your mouth shut.

PizzamanIRL

Set fire to the whole room.

Just that room though. You don't want any unnecessary damage done to other parts of the house over a silly spider.

FairytaleGirl

Spray him with hairspray so his legs stick together then squash him!

If that fails Burn him with Fire!
Actually burn your whole house down, he may have friends!

Keep your mouth closed when sleeping!

Just for a minute there, I was disappointed you didn't say 'Shoot it!'

I think we know who the logical thinker is here.

Have you tried looking on the web, OP?

Sorry.

If she's in the corner, near the ceiling, that's a sure sign its a female and is likely giving birth to her babies. Probably thousands of them.

Sweet dreams.

Leave the poor spider alone: he'll hunt errant moths&flies while you sleep! Spiders are our 8legged friends

Because nothing ever crawls in.

Leave it alone. It won't harm you and it will keep the smaller stuff at bay.
Or panic.
Whichever.

This actually quite interesting. In a 1993 PC Professional article, columnist Lisa Holst wrote about the ubiquitous lists of "facts" that were circulating via e-mail and how readily they were accepted as truthful by gullible recipients. To demonstrate her point, Holst offered her own made-up list of equally ridiculous "facts," among which was the statistic about the average person's swallowing eight spiders per year, which she took from a collection of common misbeliefs printed in a 1954 book on insect folklore. In a delicious irony, Holst's propagation of this false "fact" has spurred it into becoming one of the most widely-circulated bits of misinformation to be found on the Internet.

I'd prefer 4 2-legged friends tbh.

You could do with a ba-dum-tish to go with that

Spiders have very sensitive hearing. They can hear you moving etc. when you're awake in bed. Once you're asleep they can tell because the lack of movement and noise. Then you're at your most vulnerable state. That spider and all his friends can do what they want to you. Crawl all over your face and in your mouth and nostrils. They'll be all over you.

Once you wake up, they scatter, but they'll still be nearby. Watching. Waiting.

Good night!

Suck it up with a hover

That's also when they wait to have their babies.
Hundreds of them.
While you are asleep

There are times when I come home from work and am informed there's a spider in the hoover and i've to empty the hoover into the wheelie bin. When I get to the hoover there's usually tissue wedged into the nozzle so he can't 'escape'!:pac:

In the warmth of your pillow case.

It's trespassing. Call the guards.

Spiders are very social creatures. Know the way you see a spider and think you see it again and again? Nope, they're different spiders. Typically you'll have a nest of anywhere between 6-12 spiders in a spider 'clan'.

During the winter they move indoors, this is when they're at their most dangerous as their bites become more poisonous and the spiders themselves become more irritable. They also hunt in packs when indoors. Little known fact; spiders are one of the very few insects that remember people, and they hold grudges.

Naturally, thats where the best nesting is done. The heat of your head acts as an incubator for their multitude of hairy legged offspring. And those white little crusty bits that you think are biccie crumbs in the bed?
Nope...egg casings.
Thousands of them

The One Doctor

Lighter and a can of Lynx, bye bye spider.

Ghost Buster

Hoover the bitch.

Mrs Garth Brooks

I tried to attack it with the sweeping brush but it ran off. I don't know where.

After reading all these things about spiders and babies, the only thing I can think of is the final doom spider.

antodeco

Oh look at me with my fancy room with corners in it.

Some of us can only afford circular rooms OP

Are you sure it's a fullgrown spider? It could be the baby for the mother spider hiding under the ring on the toilet...

There's a few spiders in my tent on the roundabout. I'm happy with the company.

Smidge

I'd be careful OP. I just remembered about the several people here in Ireland recently who were bitten by a False Widow spider. Very, very nasty indeed.
Did you make sure its not a false widow?

fleet_admiral

Offer it some tea and a chocolate kimberley

Who would have thought spiders could be so sneaky?

Mrs Garth Brooks

I'll stick up some double sided sticky tape around the room and hope he sticks to it if he comes out.

The cat is also home, he might also eat, I'll keep him in the room tonight.

PizzamanIRL

Spiders set up their homes and move on after a while leaving their mess behind. People tend to dislike them. Hmmmm.

Comparisons. Comparisons.

Mrs Garth Brooks

I don't know what it looks like, it was a sneaky fast fcuker.

That's a bit cruel tbf.
Hoping the spider will eat the cat instead of you?
And you call yourself an animal lover :eek:

No no, the cat might eat it. I've seen him eat small ones before.

Ya see this is just bad advice. Spiders don't go away, they never go away, they always take over.

I once woke up by the feeling of a spider walking on my face, it was terrifying.
