What do you when you see a spider in your sights?

I see today the BBC are reporting we can expect more spiders crawling around this autumn than usual..

I'm not entirely surprised having seen quite a few crawling across my laminate flooring in recent months (they were bloody giants!). As I see it there are four variations available in how to deal with the spider: -


1) Put your feet up on the sofa to avoid contact!

2) Go and pick them up and take them to the garden / toilet etc

3) Ignore them and continue watching the telly

4) Grab the yellow pages and drop from a great height


What is your method of dealing with the spider!?

4,i'm such a big wimp, i cant even look at a spider without freaking out. I wouldnt kill it with a book though, because then i'll have to throw away the book! i use a hoover and just go for it.


there are loads of loads of them in my garden, one has even made its home right outside my back door,its web is huge!! never seen anything like it scary! the web is from the roof all the way down the house till the path, and thats just the anchor points.

Once i borrowed my hoover to my friend who promised to return it right away but didnt,so i had to invent another genius way of getting rid of spiders, its raid spray the blue one, works a treat!

Get a cup/glass/bowl, place over spider, slide piece of card underneath to trap spider, chuck spider out of window as quickly as possible

I've already done this with four monsters in the past two weeks, and this after we had about 20 come out of the cupboards while our flat was being decorated!

It depends on the size of it . If it was big and hairy i'd probably throw up and call the fire brigade or someone entirely inappropriate.


By the way, does anyone know what to do and who to call if a dog gets run over and you cant pick it up to take it to a vets yourself ?

Really Daizie? I'd have thought you'd grown accustomed to things/insects/anatomy/cocks that grew excited when disturbed by curious touching.

Call a local Chinese takeaway to collect the corpse. They'll know what to do.

    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.     
    • Anyone else received a cold call from this company pretending to be calling on behalf of EE? When I asked how they’d got my data they said ‘from East Dulwich forum’. I have contacted the Admin to find out whether EDF are selling our data to marketing companies or if they’ve been hacked. Alternatively the website is being scraped somehow.    Just warning others in case anyone else receives a call- it’s a scam, do not engage with them 🙂
