The little ones that are very aware of their surroundings ? Like if you put your finger near it, it sort of jumps back like "wth is this ?"

Is the common "jumping" spider that I know of in the UK.
That's the one. Probably The only spider I can tolerate. That and tarantulas (as they're slow moving)
Think about that just for one second and you should know that is wrong.
Uk 60 million people, 12.5 spiders per person. Really?

Okay, I went away and did some digging. The global average is 131 spiders per square meters. That means the UK has approximately 31 trillion spiders in the UK.

Came in earlier, closed the front door and noticed this fella lurking behind it.
Hardly think getting the Spider drunk & then writing it a romantic letter will get rid of it. Quite the reverse

Putting house spiders outside will usually kill them.
I would rather them be put outside so they can avoid being killed, absolutely no reason to kill them.
Possibly but better than outright killing them for certain.

True, that's why I always post spiders I find in my house through my neighbours letterbox.

Getting stupid numbers of the things at the moment, I can't really open many windows right now or they get everywhere. I think it's a combination of this house being unoccupied for 6 months or so before I moved in, and the warm weather causing an explosion of the things.
I would normally just put them outside if I see them, but I have had to start killing them due to the numbers I have, not proud of it, but if I let them live I will just get even more of the blighters!

LMAO...taking pooing through a letterbox to a whole new level.
there was a documentary a while back (might be spider house or something was on bbc i think) where they stuck a woman in a house over night with loads of spiders and i was amazed to see something like the cellar spider which I as an arachnophobia sufferer finds non threatening defeat and almost capture a very big and scary house spider, the house spider barely escaped despite been much bigger.
need a nest of them in my room too keep the scary ones away lol
uh, how? do you think they teleport into houses?
