My house is being taken over by big spiders

[Thrash]

Just took this picture of a little fella on my daughters bike....

Hehe, a bit different to our house spiders eh?

Luckily for you they aren't aggressive

 

[~Stevief~]

How come there are so few fatal bites yet the spiders are everywhere(kids bikes ect).

 

[johnny6]

I killed the biggest spider I have ever seen in the UK outside of a zoo the other day in my house. It actually made a noise when it hit the ground (was sitting on the wall just waiting for me to turn my back to it)

People think that spiders are ok but little do you know they are actually stealing your identity to sell to illegal immigrants. You’ve only got yourself to blame if you’re the victim of fraud.

My wife has been bitten twice probably by cousins of the one in the above picture, the first time she was really ill for a week, the 2nd time only a day or 2, so I presume she had built up some immunity.

Is that a black widow?

 

[J1234]

Oh dear that looks like a black widow! But may well be a false widow.

Look here

I just leave spiders though if they are in my rooms.

definately not a false. false have white markings. not deep red. i think false also tend to be brown rather than jet black

OMG. How do you live with knowing thats in your garden?

 

[PhillyDee]

I have 2 spiders living in the wing mirrors of my car. One in each. If the web gets cleared, theres a new one there the next day.

 

[FeFiDoh]

In regards to that conkers thing, if you get a Kleenze magazine delivered around you way they sell this stuff you spray around the windows and its suppose to keep them out. It does work as well so im told so I might have to invest in some 8)

My university dissertation was about them

Me too! Pesky freeloaders. Every time I go to town I come back to the car to see shopping bags hanging from the web. Why cant they get the bus like most people without their own car?!

Picture of a false widow:

Beware if you live in SE England as they are present here now. I had one in my flat.

If you squash a spider doesn't the remains attract other spiders? Might be talking *******s

Hate the things. Not seen many at all yet thank god.
