Oh no, here we go again! 😫 

I was thinking about you the other day Boyfriday when a huge spider ran across  my living room floor.  Luckily O/H was in and he dealt with it.

I currently have a massive specimen trundling around my house. Legs like 4 rugby players glued together ……. and it can't half shift. Got a bit attached actually, so I've given it a name  "Bus width" (8 feet).

They used to be camouflaged on the carpet but now we have hard floors they stick out a mile  and can get some speed up.

I chuck them in the pond for the fish

Now THAT made me chuckle. :D  (Apart from chucking them into the fish pond.!!:shakes:)

 

House spiders are harmless and are a good way to keep 'Flying insects' like Flies under control.

 

An old saying..."If you want to live and Thrive, leave the spider alive...:thumbsup:;):)

No - it’s;

 

”If you want to live and thrive, purchase a flamethrower from the internet and obliterate the room the spider is in. Add petrol”

Don’t mind the spiders, it’s the crafty moths I can’t stand. They lull you into a false sense of security by playing dead and then fluttering round like mad when you try and move them

A lot of people do say that, just like a lot of people say that crystals have healing properties.

Neither are true though.

I swear by the conker theory, my late wife and I used to go out collecting conkers.. she would spread them all round the house, never saw a spider.. Don"t bother now and the spiders are back, not that it bothers me.. 

Don"t these spider repellents have some sort of Horse Chestnut ingredient in them.
