Re: It's That Time of Year Again! Arachnids!

If you want to live and thrive
Let a spider run ALIVE.

They dont do any harm,though I have heard on people being bit by them,their is no proof it wa s spider bite.
Quick way to get rid of them.put a cup/glass over one then slide a card,/stiff paper in between and knock the spider into the container and place card over top, soit cant get out , then tip it out in the garden EEZY

In the past I have thrown out big spiders and they are on their way back in straight away. Some are very fast.

Thank goodness I wasn't asleep with my mouth open Imagine waking with all those legs stuck in my teeth.


The same thing happened to my son too, Morty.
He said he felt it tickling his face during the night.

I also remember last winter I picked my pillow up to squash it about, and a big fat spider had been sitting underneath it - I'd been laying on it and never knew.



I have looked under my pillow every night before i get into bed since!

I am finding a lot of those thin, whispy ones at the mo, those ones with legs no thicker than a hair. I don't mind them so much, it's the big black, thicked legged ones that run at 90 mph I don't like.

Re: It's That Time of Year Again! Arachnids!

Jem once told me a little story, about a spider that lived in his shed.
One day it lost a leg, so very carefully he cut a bristle from a paintbrush and stuck it on the said spider.
