Not on your own Kev.
I’ve been shouted at twice this week.
Little does she know there’s another two in the bath at the moment.
They always end up in the downstairs bath?
Read somewhere before it’s this time of year the females come in search of the males.

Had this big girl couple of years back. 50/50 regards chucking her out as the wife shut herself in the car and said she won’t come in until the spider had gone

Garden spiders are big and they can give you a nip, but they're essentially harmless.

I was in my shed, epoxying some lures when I noticed this one. I thought it looked rather "bitey", so I took the pic to get an ID. I was right - it's a false widow!

Second one in two days....plastic jug and a quick eviction outside

Best way. No need to squidge them

Fangs and a 'Death's Head' marking are never a good look!

They are the bad-arses of British spiders. Lucky we don't live in Australia . . . .

I've been a little more careful when moving stuff around in the shed since I found out what it was!

At least they'll help keep the bugs out of my epoxy!

Feckin wusses

Trapped under a container and slide a bit of card under it is my method too. Also works with wasps and bees battering themselves against windows.

In female company, I get all macho and just pick house spiders up. Same with daddy long legs - dorky-looking, harmless critters!

My mate's girlfriend is terrified of them - she thinks I'm rock!

Having been bitten twice and spending nearly three weeks in hospital as a result the only good spider to me is a dead one!

In a local store guy had a spider fall from the roof onto his shoulder, he felt it moving so tried to brush it off but it bit him, result, he collapsed before he reached the door.

The fun you can have with people who don’t like spiders!
Found a big one like Kevs on a site I was working at. I was hanging doors and put the spider in the small box the hinges came in,put a piece of masking tape on the box with my mates name written on it and left it on the chop saw in the room he was working in.
You should of heard the blood curdling scream that came from that room a bit later on!
Next day I found another spider and thought would he fall for it again?
Yep the thick fucker did!
