Spiders...

I'm quite lucky in my current flat... I've lived here 15 months and I've maybe found four spiders in that time. I know there's some lurking in the corners of my living room window, that's cool, they're chilling, getting their munch, living peacefully. I don't really like spiders but every creature has their own purpose.

Until this morning... I woke up and there was a house spider - I think, quite thin and fragile with long legs - RIGHT ABOVE MY HEADBOARD, at the top of the wall, and it's still there. I don't know what to do. I don't want to kill it (I'd have to hoover the poor thing up) but I don't want to go near it and I don't want it near me when I'm in bed tonight.

No

Though the last time I found a big spider I stayed at my mum's house... Then I was housesitting for my mum for a week afterwards. It had definitely gone by then!

Have you got a fan or a hair dryer that you could use to blow it away?

Somewhere in North Norfolk

There is a gadget called a spider catcher, or something like that, that allows you to catch them at arms length and put them outside without needing to touch them.

They go up you nose whilst you are sleeping, and begin construction on a brain control cockpit, then they control you like a big War of the Worlds walking thing. This is how spiders will rule the earth.

I bought a spider catcher.

Its a long tube with a fan inside. It sucks the spider up and then you go outside, reverse the fan and it blows it out.

Doesn't hurt spider and you don't get too close to it.

Only about £10 and worth every penny!

Tempting... Though my fwb is equally nervous about spiders.

Once, instead of just killing a spider he tried to catch it in a plastic takeaway box instead. I was sat in his living room and I heard a crash and him swearing in Afrikaans. He hadn't caught it but he did chop its leg off.

I bought one of those... or rather my Dad bought me one. My phobia was ridiculous and the first time I used it I was in such a state that I pushed the button so hard the bleeding thing wouldn't go off again after.

So there I am, poor spider getting sucked into the tube with no means of escape. Eventually I had to take the batteries out with a screw driver. I think the spider would rather have been stood on than go through that ordeal.

Squirt it with something citrusy. Spiders hate the smell of citrus as they have such a sensitive sense of smell so he'll just scurry off and find someone else's nightmares to haunt.

Yup... I'm cured now. I went to a shrink cause it was taking over my life. Best thing I've ever done. There's a post about it in the archives somewhere. Worth getting help if you suffer.

I'm able to catch them and put them out now... unless the cat gets there first.

Ummmm possibly. I mean, even if not I don't think spiders would like it so might bugger off anyway.Anything with a strong scent should do it. Give it a quick spritz of Chanel. All the other spiders will make fun of it for smelling like a girl.
