3 spiders in 5 mins

Yes I have had 3 in 4 days, I have a electronic spider deterrent which until now has worked a treat BUT I moved it and I think that is the problem, they are running away from it RIGHT into my room and at me at 40 mph!
I had a whopper last night 3 inches across running round my room!
Jumped out of bed to catch it and all the dogs jumped out of their beds thinking I was running downstairs, I got tangled up with them tripping over them and stood on the damn spider!
I wonder if I will have anymore tonight!
 
Yes, we're getting loads too! I was sat watching a film last week in the dark and thought I saw something out of the corner of my eye on my arm. I ignored it and then saw this massive spider on my shoulder! It was one of those really big ones! I jumped up and shouted to which my partner laughed thinking I was scared of the film! He then jumped up too when he realised there was a spider the size of a plate on my back!! Thing was he hates them too and couldn't come near me! So I bent down and the dogs ate it! Poor thing thinking about it!
 
We have had a pair courting in the drawing room all week. My 1yo grandson was in hysterics with laughter the other night because we were 'tickling' their toes to make them run. It kept us amused for hours following them around the room on hands and knees! I love the big spiders we get here (as long as they stay out of the bedroom)
 
Ugh i had the same. Killed a big b****r in corner in my room flushed it and came up 2 hours later to find an identical in identical spot! Waiting for more to emerge now *shudder* they are defo bigger, braver and faster this yr. Put jacket on yday and then saw huge one crawling down front of chest (refusing to admitto self it likely came from inside jacket) screeched, shook it off, mum announces the usual its more scared of you malarky to which it responded by running up her leg and she freaked. Wouldnt let me kill it tho just put it outside, like its going to stay there! Lesson learnt, all boots, jackets and blankets on sofa are all being shook before use now! *shudder*
 
We've had a few spiders but I can well and truly top that this evening - a cheeky Barsteward mouse ran across the fireplace. Have despatched OH to 24 hour Tesco for suitable restraining device! Dogs about to be traded for cats as they have sat there and watched it from their sofa.
 
Cazzah, I'd rather have the mouse! I can cope with mice. I remember at uni I got out of the shower without my glasses on and saw something run across the floor. Panicking, because it was massive ( I could see it without glasses don't forget!) I screamed for house mates to come. They all arrived on the scene and asked what the hell was going on and I said something along the lines of 'effing massive effing horrible spider agghhhhh' or something coherent like that. I went into the next room whilst they pulled the sofa out to dispatch it and 20 seconds later they all come running in saying it's a mouse. Well that's fine thinks I and I happily toddle off to shoo said mouse out of the house. They were all in hysterics.

Go figure. :rolleyes:
 
Awwwww dont, I hate spiders :(:(
Hubby removed one from the bedroom earlier. Think its all plugs in plug holes, windows shut and hope for the best. Even the dog runs away from them :)
 
Try essential oils, orange, lime and lemon mixed into a base oil and wipe around windows and doors, spiders smell with their feet and hate this, won't cross it, I also have it smeared all round the bottom of my chair as I'm a big coward.

Poor spiders! Leave them alone! We have an excellent one living in our garden called Cilla. She wears camouflage gear and has prickly legs, like eight spindly jointed cacti. She's cool :D
 
One quick story then off to Bedforshire for me...

I was sat on the loo the other day minding my own and as I left I saw this HUGE spider :eek: I mean MAHOOSIVE!

It was right above the door so my exit was blocked..... :eek: :(

Screamed as I leapt through the door with all the grace of a thing possessed... OH knows that only one thing pomotes that kind of reaction from me so he plods up the stairs, rolls his eyes and asks me 'where is it?' To which I pointed and told him how big it was.... 'Sure sure' was his reply.....

As he entered the bog and looked around his immediate response was 'Fook me! Fair play That is a big one!' :eek: To which I replied 'I dont just make this stuff up!' :D

Spidey was sent to the haven for the eight legged I am afraid...
 
None inside yet....well, if there were, the dogs would eat them......but last night I opened the front door to let said dogs out, and there was a HUUUUUGGEE one on the outside doorframe. I swear it was big enough to knock and I would hear it.
 
It's in September that the males come indoors looking for females. Here's some helpful info: female spiders are always BIGGER than the males but it's the MALES that you see scuttling around the house. So if you have a 3" across spider on your shoulder, it is a MALE and the FEMALE will be twice as big!!!!!!!!! Take heart, apparently we'll all be used to eating cockroaches, ants, worms, you name it in a few years as we inflict more and more damage onto our hideously overcrowded planet. So why not keep the spiders and sautee them with a nice drop of wine on the side {{makes noises like Hannibal Lecter}}.
 
I was happily lay in bed at 7am on Sunday morning just starting to think about waking up when I heard this odd rustling sound. Next thing I know something lands on the side of my face/head. I sleepily pit my hand to my face a Huge spider ran accross it!!! I screamed and flew out of bed. That afternoon I turned my whole bedroom upside down to find and dispose of it!
Apparantly due to the summer we've had we're getting loads this year! :(
