Spiders

There's a couple of cob webs appeared in the back room. Got some flies in them. I should remove them, but that's taking away food from a wild animal.

I love spiders. They eat flies which I fucking hate so that makes them top drawer

 

 

Same here

 

Watching one sort out someone that has got caught in their Web is a thing of natural beauty

 

The one about us swallowing them in our sleep is a myth as well, as we're so massive to them they darent come near us

Cleanest animal in the world are spiders....

 

they're always in the bath.

Sat chilling last night.

The creature from the swamp appeared.

Leg span size of a saucer . Scurried to middle of the floor. Convinced it was looking at us.

Even the dynamic duo Ozzie and Freddie (cats ) gave it a wide berth.

Normal they mercilessly tease them before knawing on em. Tried to chuck the bugger out but it ran back in .

Now lurking somewhere in the hallway.

Those huntsman jobbies you get in Thailand are territorial as fook.  When staying pretty much in the jungle one used to come out every night, same time, same spot and I'd have sworn it was eyeballing as if to say, 'Come on then if you think you're hard enough!'.

 

I wasn't, and left it well alone.  They don't scare me, generally and have held big tarantulas (and ate them) but those ones creep me out.

We have the Huntsman spider here. Belters they are. Non venomous and eat flies and mosquitoes in droves.

 

Bit scary (being the size of your hand when fully grown) when you first see them but once you learn they are harmless they're fine. Still give you a nasty nip as I once found put when letting one run up my arm in Wollongong. Stings a bit.

Hate um they shit me up. Heard about mixing peppermint oil and water in a spray bottle and spraying the corners of your room, windowsills, doorways etc. Worked so far, seen 1 in about 3 weeks

 

 

I can confirm whoever made this tip is a fucking funnyman. I went around the house on Sunday spraying virtually everything including putting a minty hex around my bed for good measure to the point where the entire house smells like a Trebor factory.

 

They've obviously just been on holiday for a couple of weeks, because if anything there's actually more of them now.

Peppermint is a spiders favourite smell, you'll be attracting them from miles around

I've heard coating your woodwork in tartan paint works a treat too mate.

 

Spiders hate tartan.

Only if applied with a left handed paint brush

 

having said that, I reckon Marc505 is left handed anyway, he definitely looks the type

Nah, utter bollocks whoever told you that. Plan B for me is using a bucket of compressed air which I am assured will work a treat, and I will be applying it right handed Sweep, I'm not an alien.

A spider was crawling around on my face last night when I was trying to get to sleep.

 

Remained calm, walked to the bathroom with the thing sitting on my eyebrow, then knocked him into the sink and flushed him away.

 

Didn't get to sleep for two hours after, mind.

A sink with a flush? Cool!
