How Soon Is Now

Jaysus I swear I dislike alot of things but I 100 percent purely hate spiders with a passon.

My front room down stairs were have me tv pc etc every year big black ****ers appear around august September.

So bout an hour ago just heading to bed I spot this big thing in corner under where my front window is **** is first thing comes to mind. So I think right bollox how do I get rid so head outside grab the hover and can the most toxic bug spray can find and head bk in.

So after bout five minutes eying the ****e up I spray him!! He legs it down onto floor and under a chair again ****!!

So he moves again in behind the door I've no idea where he's gone at this stage I'm in the hall thinking great that's my front room gone burn it to the ground!! But then I spot him leg it up over step and onto stairs into corner of bottom step. I plaster him in spray he's turning white I can hear the spray/carpet sizzle I stop he moves !! More spray he finally turns on his bk and I grab hover and he's gone!!!!

****ing sweating it afterwards everything looks like a spider now as I'm lying in me bed haha.

Think next year come august I'm going into some kinda cryogenic chamber until there all fecking gone again........

Scared as I am of the damn things, that makes me feel really bad! They only get killed now if they're crawling on me or my bed, then it's just panic.

Was that Cambodia? Feckers eat anything that moves there.

Deep fried spiders, mmmm...

It was indeed. They actually taste ok, legs are crispy, body has a bit of a dry/powdery texture to it, maybe the ones I had were a little over fried.

I like them. They're good company and they get rid of other more annoying insects. I currently have a moth infestation and I'm sure there would be a lot more of them destroying my clothes if there wasn't so many spiders around.

I don't like killing anything so spiders save me the trouble.

I was taking a walk in a forest once when a mosquito bit me. I brushed him away with my hand and he flew directly into a spiders web.

Planning to buy stamps? Watch it. One of the new Irish 55c wildlife stamps has an Irish raft spider (dolomedes fimbratus) almost leaping out of the stamp at you!

If you put it on a letter, the recipient will probably think you mean them harm!

Excellent. Must get some for sending out invoices next month...

I have one of these.

I've handled her & let her crawl across my face before. Still feel uneasy though. Oddly enough regular large house spiders still freak me the hell out.

Oh and if you're wondering why I have a tarantula when I hate spiders, my brother got it for me as a Christmas present... prick...

As I'm an armchair arachnologist (used to be arachnophobic, know your enemy and all that), I'll clear up a few misconceptions about these guys (Tegenaria Duellica).

Giant House Spider is the commone name, and the clue is in the name. They don't come in from the outside, they are indoor spiders and can only live indoors. The reason they are more visible these days is that August - October is mating season, so they're looking for lurve. That's right, they've been in your house this whole time. Some people gather them up and leave them outside, thinking it's nicer than killing them. It's not, they won't survive long outside due to the inconstant temperature an unfamiliar environment.

Random facts: they are the fastest spider in the world (which will scarcely surprise anyone who has seem them at full pelt, the human eye cannot track the movement at all). Wikipedia says their legspan can reach 75mm, personally I think this is conservative as I found one whose legspan approached that of the stuffed tarantula on my wall. They are heavy and tough (they can be heard scurrying across wooden floors) but really limber so can squeeze into and under the tightest spaces

But they only live in giant houses? Thank god, my house is quite small.

Why, oh why, did I look at any of those links? My skin is crawling...

That corner belongs to him now. He can keep it.

I actually dont mind spiders at all. Keeps more irritating fcukers away.
Although a couple have taken me by surprise in the past. Like that big fcuker that decided to land on my neck when I was going to sleep -_-

One of my young lads is over 6" 3" 18 years old & frightened to death of spiders & bugs, I blame the mom for passing on the phobia

Even a small bug in the bathroom & he's freaking out, size of him, compared to a bug LOL, he sounds like a screaming victim in a Hammer House of Horror movie :eek:

I actually don't mind them, they keep other insect numbers down at least! :pac:

Spiders aren't insects, 'other arthropods' would be correct

This has been proven to work on mosquitos but I know from personal experience that spraying citrus/citronella oil does not repel spiders one bit

I'm told that having a cat is useful.

Also, there are spider catchers such as this one on the market:

I heard chestnuts work but I cannot confirm. The thing is that spiders have no sense of smell, they can taste with their feet however.

You know what? These spiders are similar looking to the Hobo spider (except Hobo spiders live outside). You want to see a Hobo spider bite?

So, being wary of these type of spiders is actually quite intelligent

And some of the bigger ones do bite. They are not venomous but it's not pleasant!

Hate to upset you even more but have any of you seen the False Widow Spiders, they are everywhere in south dublin. Steoteda Nobillis they are also known as, I have Arachnophobia. I noticed one in my shed one night around 6 years ago and realised it was not normal. I actually thought it was a black widow. I did some research and found what it was.
