I've found loads of false widows recently. Usually they get terminated as they aren't native.

Probably a bit too based for GD, better in SC

No thank you I choose to exercise my right to refuse to accept it

Autumn time tends to see the large brown house spiders looking for a mate.

I had one that was on the bedroom floor that the Mrs wanted me to move. Given the size I figured the pint glass over the top would do (leg spread just fit). It reared up when I approached it and I could hear 'chink' sounds of its fangs hitting the glass. Some card underneath and out of the window..

I wear gloves when moving things in the garage. I removes some slabs and found some rather large black false widow spiders with the same spindly legs and large body etc. I won't post the images or people will end up triggered.

Next time use an old hummus or coleslaw pot to catch it, instead of picking it up.

Do you have them lying around on demand for such occasions?

I always keep my hummus pots. You never know when you will need it.

Catch and release

Hopefully that Tiktok cretin gets bitten by a proper spider... No wonder the future of our race is ******!

Yes. Keep the lid, as that is essential. Then they are easy to catch and straight out the window!

Haha, is there a dedicated hoard cupboard for them?

They do, but only when arranged pretentiously on a plate!

Keep an eye on it - my dad was bitten by a spider when gardening and after initially dying down a bit it started radiating outwards and getting concerning (possibly infected due to doing gardening at the time rather than the venom) and had to have medical treatment to prevent it turning serious.

No, when you are as skilled as me with an empty hummus container, one is enough.

Had this in the garden under a piece of decaying wood a few year ago. I think its a female black lace-weaver spider, I read they can leave a painful bite, nausea lasting 3 days.
