It helps to make them into your friend and have them as a pet.

5 hours!!!! 5 hours!!!! I'll be dead by then, it will have got all its mates to come and jump out at me when I least expect it!
When they find my body I will be clinging to the keyboard, intestines hanging out my arse and a look of sheer horror on my face.
oh.........so you won't be alive to make me a welcoming cup of tea then????......
i was gonna say get the puddy's onto it.but if they're anything like mine it'll be.....

They can`t help what they look like - and they don`t bite or anything
Its a weird one... fear of spiders. Its like they are alien or something. I have overcome fear of loads of beasties and come to love them.... but I can only get so far overcoming spider fear..... its like an instinctive thing.
Yep I know its like a primitive fear we all have. I made myself pick a biggie up - sort of mind over matter - telling myself it was a sweet little thing that was really scared. It was fine in my cupped hands and didn`t move. I took it down the garden. Trouble is my friend says they always come in pairs, so I probably separated him (or her) from its spouse and felt awful.
Hahaha! You're as bad as me! I stopped killing stuff when I was a kid, when I killed a beetle or something and my uncle said "aw, what about mrs beetle and all the beetle children... sitting at home, wandering when daddy will be back!"
It stuck with me...
Also... last thing I willingly killed I feel awful about. It was a hornet. I'd never seen one before and it scared the s**t out of me. Daughter and I tried to tackle it with the hoover, a butane torch and fly spray. We did eventually kill it
Then I went downstairs and googled it... and learned about them... and found out they are gentle and less likely to sting than a bee.... and I hated myself.
My daughter did a talk to her year at school about them... so hopefully some good came out of the whole incident.
I now LOVE hornets! They are beautiful.

I just tried to remove it with my spider catcher and it was too big to fit and fell on the floor.
It's now loose in the house. I feel like it's on me.
omg no way would i stay in the house NO WAY,i would sleep in the car n not go back in the house till it was out
I'm not getting the 'hornet love' You can't see me for dust when one of those beasties enters my house. Thats said, I do try and shoo them out as I hate killing anything.

They are gentle giants Cheeky! Honest, when I first saw one I absolutely shit myself.... but their temperament is nothing like wasps.... they will do everything they can to avoid stinging (unless you go and beat their nest with a stick or something... they will defend their young).
I think they are beautiful too...
The Japanese ones are really beautiful... BUT, they are not gentle... you could literally put a collar round one of their hornets... they are MASSIVE!

I'm trying to get the cats to hunt it down but I can't see where it is.
I'm on my own tonight, I'm not gonna sleep a wink I am soooooooooooo terrified of spiders.
It's the way they move.
Don't trust cats!!
I had a massive spider in the hall, it kept me trapped in the kitchen for an hour and a half until I managed to pluck up the guts to put a bowl over it and get it out of the back door.
Cat had watched all this with great interest and once I'd shut the kitchen door it went out of the cat flap to investigate further........
After a few moments it came back through the cat flap with a mouthful of living spider which it dumped straight back on the kitchen floor about 6 inches from my bare foot!!!!!!!!!!!!
I swear the bloody animal was laughing!
Someone on here... once posted about a spider they put a bowl over.... and it was that big it moved the bowl across the room!!!!
I can't remember who it was... Leccy or Cinds I think.

8 spiders in your lifetime.. that's the average you swallow in your sleep..

I know it's probably not much consolation, but there are probably loads of spiders hidden all over the house anyway. But the point is, they don't want you to find them. They aren't going to come looking for you. Try and forget about it.

the study from which they plucked this statistical factoid!Awwwwww, thank DPT. I think they just scare me coz they seem like giant wasps. Ergo; they must have giant stings.....quote:Originally posted by Dirtyprettygirlthing:They are gentle giants Cheeky!

One of those bug scientists told me. Apparently it was in one of those specialist bug scientist magazines.

I hear ya! Like I said... I absolutely shit myself when I first saw one... and you could hear the buzzing all over the house... like a deep thrumming.
I did hear once that there are approximately seven live spiders in every room in your house at any one time..quote:Originally posted by fabienne:

We cleaned out our shed the other week, (10 X 8 in size,) and found approx 15 live spiders and about 50 dead ones! Also, sometimes I am sitting alone at night watching telly, and one will just run out from under a chair. And it hasn't just crawled through the window has it?
So I can believe that there are always live spiders in every room...
Them ones that sprint across the lounge floor.... they ruin it for the rest of them!
I got it! I got it!
Sat watching Bea being a right prissy madam because she's not as clever as she reckons she is and there it was......staring at me from the wall.
Don't worry spider lovers, I got it in the catcher this time and liberated it outside - at least 20 feet from my front door.

You won't be seeing any more tonight, I promise.
I can empathise with all those afraid of spiders
Yesterday morning, my son announced that he had killed a huge spider in the bath. I said noooooooo, and then went to see. OMG, it was the biggest spider ever. Legs as long as my fingers, no kidding. I forgave my son, I would have hyperventilated until I passed out had I seen it alive
