    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?

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,257 ✭✭✭SoupyNorman


    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.

    Its not all bad, Only "About half the spiders encountered in everyday life possess chelicerae strong enough to penetrate human skin"

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