Is it that time of year already...

Funny you should say that. There was a massive one, a light brown one on my bedroom wall about an hour ago. I had to trap him with a glass and paper, and flush him down the toilet.

He was almost surfing the water flushing him away he was so big. I don't think there's any in my actual bed.

Don't! They'll kill you and start to eat you before you even get to the good bit!

Apparently spiders don't like if you burn peppermint oil in a burner. So they don't go anywhere near a room with it burning.

Oh

that might be why one of my resident spiders is fascinating in one of the downstairs Loos

Bought one of these a couple of years ago. Best tenner I ever spent, although next door must have an awful problem with spiders considering the amount that get chucked over their wall. :pac:

Thanks and all......

My wife is theoretically not afraid of spiders.

I can promise it's safe enough, it's quite a nice beetle

I was dozily afraid it was going to be a huge spider and was ready to click out of it quickly though.

Although I was recently for reasons that make perfect sense in context, making a spider out of fimo clay for my partner, and was having trouble with the face. So I had multiple images of close-up spider heads on my screen, managing to mildly freak myself out every time I was looking for a reference point.

We have a bearded dragon and my oh prefers to feed it live locusts rather than crickets.

Those fecker's regularly escape giving me the creeps

The Backwards Man · 26-09-2016 11:39PM

I have crickets come inside in the turf bucket sometimes, amazing that something so wee can make so much noise, they never have accidents though, always make it outside again.

Mice are the worst. I lose my sh1t like a sh1t collector with amnesia this time of year with mice. Mice are the worst of all invaders.

Had a wee harvest mouse in the house a few weeks ago, lovely wee things, he was luckier than Kylie Lucky missed him. Common mice are bastards though.

DEFTLEFTHAND · 26-09-2016 11:48PM

I pick them up in tissue paper and throw them out the window. Just can't bring myself to flush them down the toilet anymore.

gctest50 · 27-09-2016 12:22AM

few of these to keep field mice away, be grand :

On average, per year while asleep, 8 spiders will crawl on you and wave their willies in your face, that's a fact you can take to the bank

This happened me but I thought they were only trying to make me jealous of them

On the crickets it's considered good luck to have crickets in your house in old Irish traditions.manys the old house that had singing crickets in it especially around or under the hearth of the fireplace.legend has it that often when a person would die the crickets would disappear aswell.its in Google and joe mc Gowan the Sligo author mentioned it in one of his books.now for ye!!

Up early tomorrow so I got myself to bed early. Lying in bed having a quick flick of boards before heading off to sleep.

I feel something on my neck, must be the duvet I says to myself. I move the duvet and have a scratch. Feel something on my wrist, turn the light from my phone screen towards it and there he is, little 8 legged bollox.

I've no petrol to burn the house down so I got a pint glass, trapped the little bugger and fired him out the window.

Is that it now, are our 8 legged friends about to invade? I don't mind them around the house but I prefer a nice blonde on the pillow beside me truth be told.

Anyway, no sleep for me -_-

You can get a special shampoo in the chemist for them yokes:D

I think it's going to take more than cream if a bollock has eight legs attached O.O

Yeah I'm in bed too and I'm blonde and have only two legs. Don't fancy some critter all over me when I'm asleep.

Define crittering.

Boom_Bap · 27-09-2016 12:12PM

There are other accelerants in common household item that are more sucessful in spider removal than petrol.

They would also be excellent at destoying that pint glass that has spider goo on it now.

Mint Sauce · 27-09-2016 12:16PM

I dont mind them to much, as long as they keep to their side of the room and mind their business, I will keep to my side, and mind mine.

At least when I had the mouse in my shed, I had no spiders.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 27-09-2016 12:23PM

Do mice eat spiders?
Spiders can get in your ears actually. I once had to drown a spider in my ear with olive oil. It felt like it was moving around my brain.

I dunno. All I know is, the spiders and their webs only appeared, after the mouse left.

Is it that time of year already...
