KILL IT WITH FIRE

[adolf hamster]

This is no time for rational and sensible suggestions. A mans life hangs in the balance.

Dont talk to him, he's plainly been infested by them and now he's under their control. For all we know he could be harbouring one of their queens

Oh for goodness sake, those spiders are just harmless tiddly things! Pick them up and throw them outside.

That's what we deal with down here in Australia!

I once read a comedy article about the 10 deadliest animals that could fit in your shoe. To my surprise, only 7 of them were from Australia.

I've never read such shocking posts. What you should do is simply put your hand over them, scoop them up and put them outside UNHARMED. Spiders are great companions for the environment. Sounds to me as though there are some not very brave people inhabiting this thread.

Can spiders adapted for indoor living survive outside?

I just leave them be in my home unless they're stuck in my bath. In that case, I get them out and put them on the floor. Picking them up is a no-no, but small ones can be coaxed onto a few sheets of toilet roll as a sort of hammock and big ones can be left to find their own way out of the bath by draping a longer strand of sheets of toilet roll over the side of the bath as a sort of ladder. Spiders eat flies and other manky things and house spiders in the UK aren't dangerous, so I count them as an overall benefit to me. I hardly ever see any in the bedroom, even where there are plenty downstairs, so it's all good.

They live where there's plenty of insects to feast upon, doesn't matter if it's outdoors or indoors although being indoors does mean there's no predators (apart from other spiders and irrational squish happy humans)

The spiders have figured out that the light through the window attracts other insects at night. So that's where they now live and there's no real way to stop them.

At least you won't have a fly problem.

Also house spiders won't survive outside most of the time.

Buy a cat, they eat spiders, at least mine does.

Last year I had this little fella sat on the toilet wall behind my head as I dropped the kids off at the pool.

 

[inogen]

Aye. My cats love a good spider. It's the natural order. Though I do try to relocate them before they're spotted.

 

[Nasher]

But then you need a dog to catch the cat.

Can of lynx. Lighter. Barbeque lighter fluid . Mobile to call the fire brigade when it gets out of hand .

On my screen the drainpipe loops like a giant inflatable hammer, and I thought that was your weapon of choice. You're gonna need a bigger knife.

With that many spiders, they have won, let them have the building

 

[bartledvd]

Cat is the easy option i have to fight to get the spiders out of the house before the daft thing starts trying to climb the walls after them .

 

[timmeh]

I only kill them if they're dangerous. I'd rather have a few harmless spiders and no flies.

[Parky]

OP needs to exterminate them quickly before they have chance to lay eggs in his brain.

My outhouse toilet is covered floor to ceiling with dead, and presumably some living spiders.

And that's my evidence for why humans(most of us) are the only intelligent creatures on this planet. A human goes into a room and see's loads of dead humans, it leaves the room. Spider goes into my outhouse, see's hundreds of dead spiders and still makes it home.
