Eight-legged lodgers on the move

[Ricco]

Im not scared of spiders, but these would make me think twice about picking them up

This house is properly old and in the country. Sit in any room for an hour and I garuntee you'll see one big spider makes its way across the place.

I just leave them be, they keep the flying insect population down for me.

What i HAVE noticed no end of this year is bloody beatles in the house. Great source of amusement to the cats tho.

I've noticed the spiders that are usually in the garden attached to the extention on the back of the house are bigger this year. Maybe this is due to me feeding them daddy long-legs that I catch in the house, I dunno, but they don't bother me at all so let them get bigger - just as long as they stay timid and don't start attacking us all

[Spud1]

Heh I can't stand the buggers, big or small they get squashed along with the mosquitos, gnats, flys and other bugs that find their evil way into my room. I'm sure that most of them dont come into my room on a mission to find and eat me but ever since I heard of some of them crawling into your mouth while your asleep....it just scares me

Big ones tend to get the glass treatment first though as they are too fast to be splatted, or make too much of a mess. Into a glass and moved to a place where they can be dealt with

I have in the past caught some and kept them for a few days though..I remember getting 2 different types of spider, a big a$$sed garden one and a rather large house spider and putting them both in a jam jar (with air holes natch). They fought! and the house spider got eaten by the garden spider. That was a fun experiment totally ignoring the ethical implications ofc..

good god - next you'll be sacrificing local pets to your spider gods..

[Starburn]

I don't kill anything (aside from small crawly things that I don't know what they are/look like they bite) moths, spiders I capture and put outside... my reasoning is.. they don't do anything to me so why kill it (+ spiders keep the fly numbers down).

[Pirate Pete]

had a bit of a funny experience with a big old house spider about 2 weeks ago

i was sitting in my room on the comp with lights out (because the window was open, flies come in and do little fly craps everywhere at night if i dont turn the lights out)

anyway, i felt this weird like static electricity feeling in my hair (or thats what i thought it was) so i just left it but it didnt go away

half an hour later i reached up and brushed my hand through my hair...only to find there was a spider about the size of my palm on the top of my head!!!!!

it fell into my lap then ran off under the pc desk and i dont have a clue where it is now...i just wanna say hello

Once, long ago in days gone by.....

I had two PCs set up on the floor of the study with a nice seriall link between the two having a game of DooM 2 Co-op.

There's my mate shouting "THERE'S A HUUUGGEEE SPIDER IN HERE"

"Hang on, i've just picked up the chaingun" I replied

"NO! A HUGE SPIDER" he said, sounding rather stressed

"Yeah, it's a mother aracnatron, got a plasma gun hasn't it"

"No, it's in this room and just walked over my foot!"

It dawned on me he was freeting about a spider that was all of an inch across. Some people really are wusses

Sigh, I wish I were a better person

spiders are nasty and should be squished
