Good job I'm not scared of spiders. Had to clear the cupboard out under my stairs last night for the new gas meter to be fitted today. The spiders had been living undisturbed in there for the last few years and had built up quite a colony.

Second volunteer found!

Son was hopping around his bedroom a few nights ago and reckoned he had a spider up his pyjama leg. Told him he was being stupid as he slung them into the washing basket.........next morning I got the washing out of the basket and there sat a massive spider at the bottom of it.

Me, I would flush them all down the plughole!

Flipping giant one right behind my head....I don't see why people say that they're more afraid of us than we are of them...

I didn't see it trembling & shaking before I whacked it with a flipflop!

Bleaugh! After lastnights 'mum there's a spider behind your head', another one decides to cartwheel across the floor & stop right by my foot about an hour later.....am I some kind of spider magnet?

I promise, promise, promise,I am not sat here laughing at your predicament.
Famous last words, but I can't remember the last time I saw a spider in this house.
Normally the fluffy cat kills them before they get near us.

No chance, you're only 10 mins walk away from my ex.

Its handy for the car boot sale if you like being woken up at 6am on a Sunday?

He's only 10 mins away when you want rescuing from spiders?

No ta, i'll still pass. The fact that me and him are still in the same postal district is still too close for my liking!

One of my spaniels is trained to leap into action when she hears the word 'spider!' She turns into super-spaniel and disposes of them in a second. If there is one in the sink, the crouches below and waits to catch it, mid air, as I flip it out with a (very) long handled wooden spoon.

She also empties the washing machine and puts the wet clothes in the basket. And collects the eggs each morning, without breaking them.

The other one does official voluntary work, visiting the sick.

I can forgive the shoe thieving habit and the occasional accidental death of a pheasant.

Flossietoo you could make a fortune if you could breed spider catching puppies

Perhaps I could hire her out. She is a Working Cocker after all, I keep telling her she should be gainfully employed.

In the latest news, Flossietoo and her faithful hound have just dispatched their fifth huge spider-beast of consecutive days in the big planter on the hall table.

I had intended putting an actual plant in it. But it turns out that it is a remarkably effective spider trap. They must abseil down the stairs and land in the planter. I spot them, shout "Spiiiiiider!" and hold the planter down at spaniel height. She comes skidding in from the garden, kills the spider and goes to sit by her treat jar awaiting payment.

I would post a video but it might offend spider-lovers.
