Spider in the room

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.

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

Some of us can only afford circular rooms OP

Nearby. Watching. Waiting.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Just remember next time you get undressed there will be 8 eyes on you. My mates and I think you're hot.

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.

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.

There is a user on Boards who said - though I can not find the post now that I am looking for it - that if you work out the number of spider species in the average house - work out the number of each of those species that live in the average house - divide this by the number of rooms in the average house - then divide this by the number of directions a spider could _generally_ be looking in then -

- at any given time - without your knowledge - there is probably 3 or 4 spiders looking directly at you.

That must be interesting for them...yawn said the spider.
I can't understand people in Ireland being afraid of spiders in Ireland though.
I mean, why would you want to kill it?
Inform yourselves people, spiders are our friends!

Unless there's an adequate food supply in your house, i.e. flies and other insects then chances are he will die of starvation pretty soon, or else he'll fuck off where there are richer pickings.

Lots of people freak out when they see a wood-louse in the house. But these little beasties don't last farting time indoors. It's too warm and too dry and they're dead in a day.

You should keep him. I always have 3 or 4 around the bedroom. They catch and eat the little ****ers that fly on my laptop screen at night and I don't kill them. Its a mutually beneficial arrangement.
