House infested with large spiders

Or. The worst of them all. Yes, it's moths. Jesus wept. When we went away for a fortnight we came back to find our clothes half eaten, curtains half-eaten, carpets near the curtains thick of dust, and about 50 of the bas****s dead at the back of the cupboards and wardrobes. Don't know where the hell they came from. :mad:

WOW. Just. WOW! I'm assuming they died from over-eating. They must have had another 500 accomplices minimum. Your neighbours didn't report a cohort of swollen moths staggering out of your place, by any chance?

FWIW, spiders will eat any other much-less desirables in your house. I'll nuke anything else form orbit, but I tend to leave spiders alone. Well for the three I see per annum, that is.
 
WUSSSSSEYYY TOWNEY KID!!!

I grew up out in the sticks and eat a spider once a week in my sleep! you should have seen my old room! 5 spiders is a warm day outside,.... used to have about 20 in most rooms running about (untill we squished them!!! *evil laughter*)

Seriously though be a man and squish em if your that scared :D or cup them in your hands and set them free out side
 
Spidders are cool! Had the buggers on me face before and yes its a bit of a "wake up suddenly moment" as the flipping thing crawls around yer bed. I never kill em just scoop em up and out the window until next time they come back in and find the bathroom or living room cosey.

If you want something of an infestation im 100% sure we have a small wasp colony near the roof of our house. They seem to like the window especially at around 5 or 6am when my missus is in the shower (they must be pervy or summin lol)

I should get it sorted as the summer holidays are almost upon us.

You realise if you hoover them up after you've turned it off they could crawl back out the hoover...

that would depend entirely on what type of hoover you have i would imagine?

in my dyson all the dirt/dust flys around like tornado i would imagine theres pulling a fair amount of G's , sometimes ive hoovered up little plastic balls from my childs toys and they make a right racket as they roar around inside.

i think a spider would be splattered all over the inside or atleast have its legs snapped off.

btw we recently switched rooms with the kids and when i was taking all the furniture out i discovered about 10 freaking spiders! i had never even seen a spider in that room before lol

Urban Myth tbh

Yeah it's apparently "14 spiders in a year" which is just BS

Unless this happens to fall on your face in the middle of the night, then you'd get your yearly allowance in one night/gulp :o

Now i have to go and stand in the shower..... for the rest of the day
 
Apparently conkers are supposed to keep them away.. I remember reading somewhere that if you put conkers in your room they wont come in...

Im not entirely sure how a spider sense conkers in the room but it has worked in my girlfriends room. Unless it is just a coincidence...

There is an easy way to stop this so you never have a problem like this again.

My utility room gets infested with slugs for some reason.


I went in there one night and stood on one and I didn't have anything on my feet.


EWWWW!!!


Could still feel it on the bottom on my foot hours later even after I had washed it.

I get this in my kitchen, theres nothing like opening your utensils drawer to find a slug slithering over you spoons :eek:. I also did the stepping on a slug with bare feet, its not nice. I usually pick them up and throw them as far as i can and listen for the satisfying splat sound in the distance.
 
get aload of salt, mix with some water, wash everything down with it.

Ever seen supernatural? well do what they do but more extreme, perimeter around rooms with salt etc, we did at uni and it didnt take long for the slugs to start having to take long ways round so that you could figure where they were coming/going from more obvious trails in middle of rooms, and then stumble across them at about 3-4am(pull a few late night sessions) and KILL EM
 
There might be something to conkers - it's a long known fact spiders avoid certain types of wood - wallnut for example.

I cant work out where they're coming from at all, when i see one in the middle of the kitchen floor the trail just stops a few inches from it like it teleported.
