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!


*Tee*

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 ?

I was adopted by a big hairy spider last winter. It lived under the sofa but came out every evening when the heating came on and sat by the radiator.


Sadly it didnt move quickly enough during one of my rare Dyson moments.

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.

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
