A 5 inch spider is definitely not a non-story.

The estrogen is strong in this one.

Spiders eat all the worse things, leave them alone honestly

House spiders are getting massive recently. Nice of the BBC to encourage arachnophobia by stating that they can bite. I've handled plenty and never been bitten once.

Tis spider season, can't stop walking into one at the moment. Lovely creatures that should be left alone.

Not seen a single spider in our new house, I think all the tube web spiders on the outside of our house keep everything out.

Got a few of these in the shed, real big ones as well. We have an agreement that providing they stay there, all is well.

Walking around in the dark I stepped on one the other day, heard it squish :/

I protect all the daddy long legs that set up in the house and, in return, they hunt the massive house spiders for me. How they tackle the much meatier prey I've no idea and the people I tell don't believe me - until I show them the silk-wrapped hairy little corpses the DLLs have left around the place as offerings to me.

Going in my shed yesterday was like a trial from Indiana Jones.....

I report them to the police.

I had one a few months back run into a wall and curl up, I can only presume it stunned itself.. Should have gone to specspecspecspecsavers.......

Finding loads at the moment in my house.

In the garden there is a spider, its large but not too large. But it looks chunky and vicious. :eek:

those spiders are so awesome but tiny

i wouldn't mind if they were in my house

Someone told me to put conkers in the corners of the room and this scares spiders off as they mistake them as big spiders. Now I HATE spiders so thought I would give it a try a few years back and you know what, I have not seen a spider in my lounge since! I had loads, live in the countryside with an open fireplace so they used to come in often but seems the 3 conks are doing their job.....or am I being a ****?

arknor · 23 Aug 2015 at 15:12

do spiders even care about bigger spiders?

where I live spiders like to live around the communal stairs.

I've often seen one that's clearly a predator like funnel spider looking with other much smaller spiders of a different type within a few feet

yep... saw one of these behind my toilet.

Grabbed a can of gasoline and promptly set fire to my house.

No way he survived.

Are you sure they didn't tell you to grow a pair of conkers?
