    Yes, but the carpet/lino/wall/table has to go as well. Spiders are costing me a fortune. We found 6 last week and now we've no sitting room.

    don't kill spiders using shoes, hard back books work way better.

    stretch your arm out to over the spider holding a phone book size but hard back.

    drop book.

    RIP spider.

    clean book.

    If he's on a wall use a smaller book and throw the book .

    If he's in a cornor, fcuk that, move house.

    Don't kill spiders full stop.

    They never do anything to us so why do anything nasty to them?

    :confused:

    I can't bring myself to kill them. I does be do be scooping them up in a bit of kitchen roll and chucking them out the window.

    Spiders are our allies in the war against flies.



    Can't believe the amount of views this thread has gotten!

    I must admit, it's tough to kill them. I did it once and I'm ashamed of myself but that war was hell for everybody

    You need to be waiting at the end of the hose with a shotgun loaded with rock salt. Soon as that hairy sucker peeps it's angry head out, ka-blam. You then hoover it up again, and go back to waiting with the shotgun..

    But you'd have your trusty outdoors pooing cloth?:confused: I've a mad vision in me head of a lad squatting in the middle of a thicket , strides around the ankles, with his trusty poo-cloth clenched between his teeth, chuckling to himself "Hah, and they said I was stupid to be carrying this around the last three years".

    For some reason, I've also got a picture of some other poor sod heading in there a few hours later, for the same reason, and going "Ohh look, a cloth, just what I need at a time like this, how lucky am I"

    Things can end up looking uneven :o

    Do you know nothing? Screw up a tissue/bog roll and block the nozzle of the hoover with it. If you're feeling really mean cover the opening in clingfilm and watch the spider try and break through. If you think that it just might... start running.

    Make sure you have a bedroom with a sink in it, and keep a roll of black bin bags in your room. Then if the toilet is engaged and you are desperate, you can wee in the sink, and poo in a bin bag and then go and throw it in the bin. I used to do this when I was at university.
