I'm not sure whether its the time of the year or if our house is on a spiders nest or something but over the past 3 days we have killed 4 big (body and leg span about the circumference of a standard mug) house spiders by means of hand deodorant flamethrower. The brown ones with the big stick legs that run really fast.

The only thing i think it could be is that we have quite bright lights which attract moths if we leave windows/the door open. The house is clean and tidy and we live in a ground floor flat

Is there anything available like ant power but for spiders?
 
I had one the other day was by far not the largest i've had in here, but this little bugger could climb up the pint glass? I mean, like it was doing laps in the glass up down and around on speed until I threw it outside... :/

I thought ceramics and glass stopped them! got a fright! :(

I thought that too :S ? Maybe they have Morphed! :eek:

I dont really mind them and leave them to do w.e it is they do. But the ones with tiny pin-***** bodys and 6" legs get it with the flame-thrower !

Even my gf was taken aback initially, and she's better with them than I. I didn't really want to waste time taking pictures.. but we did comment after that he wouldn't have much difficulties in the bathroom!
 
I saw a great big house spider doing his rounds yesterday. These days I tend to leave them unless they venture too close then I'm :eek: :eek:

Just think of all the other bugs there must be around your house to sustain such a population. Your spidery friends are saving you from woodlouse Armageddon!
 
Had the girlfriend scream bloody murder when she went to the bathroom last nght. Went in there and there was a great big ******* of a spider sitting in the sink.

My gf just stood there saying "IT'S TAKEN MY SOUL!".

I felt sorry for the thing since it was only in the sink so scooped it up with glass and paper and chucked it outside :p

You shouldn't kill them, it's not like they're trying to kill you.

Also flamethrower inside your house?

:eek: you monster!!!!! :p

I'm sure they claim that spiders that are used to indoors cannot adapt outdoors and vice versa :confused:
 
any of the monstrous sized ones i put into the back garden because the wife cant even stand to look at them, but normally i leave them alone an let them just do what they do

Did it go mental in the glass?
 
Had one in the bathroom a couple of weeks ago, have high celings and it was in the corner so i didnt bother with it. After noticing it for a few days I started to have suspicions. Got the ladder out and had a closer look. The little ******* was sitting on a pile of eggs.

Obviously the monstrosity was soon dispatched and flushed however had me feeling itchy for days. Can't imagine the horror should I have not noticed and been in the shower when hundreds of little spiders hatched on my white walls.
 
we've had about 5 of these massive things the last couple of weeks, makes the gf jump every time lol. Just scooped them up in a glass & threw them out the front.

They're that big i think they could take the rabbit in a fight easy & the rabbit is possessed by the devil, evil like the one in Monty Python :D
 
The worst is yet to come. You know how it goes.

Summer comes, you start to get loads of little spiders, those that have awoken from their slumber and have started to venture further afield. These are easily destroyed by the lowest of magiks, a mere swat of a mag will take these out.

Late Summer/Autumn arrives, and now you start to see the medium/large spiders, the ones that were clever enough to stay hidden throughout summer, levelling up before leaving their safe spots. They are now faster and hardier and take at least a lv2 hardback or a flailing vacuum.

Then, its late autumn, winter is here all but in name, you've started to use your central heating, and in doing so have awoken the Dire Spider. Every house has one every year. When all others have perished and you think you are now safe from spider infestation, just as your guard relaxes, you will come into the kitchen, or the bathroom and HOLY MOTHER OF SATAN the Dire Spider will be sat waiting for you. A good 4-5" leg span at least, hairy and brown, with the speed only capable by something unnatural and not of this earth. With Dire Spiders battle plans must be created, lines are drawn, often a 2nd or 3rd party is involved in 'Keeping an eye on it' while vacuums, brooms, heavy boots, deodorant cans and lighters are retrieved ready to wage war.

Only then are you safe for the winter.
