Amaranthus Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I made a spider catcher out of a cotton bud container and a chopstick (no MacGyver), which worked ok. Then stick another chopstick to a piece of card and you don't need to go near it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairspray doesn't work. 9 times out of 10 they just run. :( I know and now i cant sleep at all because i have visions of it crawling onto the ceiling above my bed, staring at me with sinister intent as i sleep and then just doing a suicide drop onto my face :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bethsmummy Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Shampoo or shower gel holds em down. I once emptied a full bottle on one. Its a win win situation cuz you get the disgusting beast and your carpet smells of watermelon for 3 months. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selphie Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 awww, I love it!!! When I lived on my own I used to put a big mixing bowl over them and leave them for days until they died. then hoovered them up. People would walk in my house and wonder why I had an upturned bowl in the middle of my room. Felt very stupid when explaining but it did the trick for me!!! I have now learned to tolerate them as my son and hubby tend to play on my weaknesses. I'm sure that either of them given the opportunity would catch one and throw it on me or something ridiculous like that!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megalithic Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 How can you be scared of spiders. ? Saying that, i'm afraid of horses, but at least they can't hide under my bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also scared stupid of butterflies, in fact i would go as far as to say i would rather be faced with this spider over a butterfly anyday. butterflies send me into complete meltdown which is quite suprising really as moths dont bother me at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lectrolove Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Ugliness aside, they're actually quite handy around the house, keep the flies down and are really not interested in you. This is the classic time of year for big black spiders so you'll probably see a few more and while I'm not enamoured of them I would never kill one, I try and catch them but if they run off and disappear, what the eye doesn't see the heart doesn't grieve.
