Got up this morning and found this bloody big spider in my brew cup from last night.  It fills the whole cup..!  The problem is I swear there was a Ginger Nut in the bottom of that cup when i went to bed that I'd misdunked. Where is it now? Is it possible that Spider ate it, it does look tropical to me…..?  Look at the size of its body… its huge…!  Confused

Yes spiders eat Ginger nuts fact, an thank god they do for your sake. My advice would be to randomly scatter Ginger nuts as far an as wide as you can far away from your bed. That little fooooooker can do some damage an that if my spider sense's are correct an they always are, tells me that thats a baby (you can tell that from its pea head) just be on your gaurd from now on Cherry their wiil be a lot more, lets call them children shall we. An 2 bigger an angrier parants knocking about waiting for YOU or more biscuits. Look i dont wanna scare yeah but lets be honest you've had a lucky lucky escape.

All the best Bill Oddie.

Right my lady wife and her best friend were told as kids that if they slept with their knickers on that spiders wouldnt be able to snuggle up in their lady bits. "FACT" I hope that you take up this advice CherryScones and ignor the obvious scare tactics of my work college Vintagelofty and you have a safe night tucked up in bed. Sweet Dreams Thumbs Up

They are scared of them if you hurl them at them at a high velocity.

Other than that I'm afraid it's an urban myth. Some citrus extracts do have a mild deterrent effect on them though not as much as a size 12 boot on top of them.

Conkers do work, as does lemon pledge, so maybe doing a spot of dusting wouldn't hurt, and leaving some conkers lying around.

Bill Oddie says no to big fuck off boots you'll only make them mad. More biscuits is the answer, an lets be a bit more humain shall we thats what seperates us from the spiders, although saying that i am fond of biscuits.

Hay hay hay ill be honest the idea of sneaking round to a beautiful lady's an enquiring about a sneaky biscuit or two had crossed my mind granted. Problem is i then remembered that some foooooker had already eat the biscuits so thats put an end to that im afraid.

Im sorry to have to BUMP this thread but as you can all see I have a bit of a problem where Spiders are concerned and over the months since the one in my cup I have still got them randomly appearing to scare the shite out of me at really innapropriate times like when Im trying to slaughter a really difficult boss or just as Im getting a tricky prize bubble on LBP. 

 

I can enter a room and instantly know there is a spider in it even if I cant see it. I have had conkers in the corners of rooms for months now and also used lemon in all my household cleaning products coz one of you lot said it'd help.  IT DOESN'T.  NOTHING HELPS!!!!!!

 

Does anyone on here use or know anyone who uses those plug in powered spider deterrent things you see in those weird product catalogues you get in newspapers from time to time?  If so do they actually work.  If they do I'll buy 10 of em.  Somebody help!!!  Confused

Can't vouch for those electronic things because I've never tried them, but cats are great for clearing spiders.

Are they the high pitch audio type things?

Guy at work bought one for the cats in his garden….he bought it in one day to show us…turn it on and a red light comes on.

Scam if you ask me…"you knob, you just paid for a box that has a red light on it….can't hear fuck all"

 

I say you WANT the spiders…they are quite useful in the grand scheme of things. Why just take a look around my house…not a fly to be seen…apart from the thousand or so wrapped up like little parcels in all the cobwebs.

 

…easy for me to say, but face your fear.

Yes, most cats are rather shrill.

My dad has some kind of plug-in ultra-sonic thingy for flying insects that definitely seems to work. I can hear the damn thing, but no one else can, and there's never any flies in his house.

Personally, I let the spiders roam free (as long as they stay out of the kids room). No flies in my house either.

Big pear of feck off boots is the answer, or a vacuum cleaner to suck the buggers up, my cats scared of spiders and the vacuum. As for those audio thingies I don't know, I know I can hear that high pitched deterrent they used at some chip shops to keep gangs of yobs away, your not meant to be able to hear it over the age of 25, but it's an annoying sound and hurts my ears, so if the spider ones emit a similar noise, it would do my tits in.

Yeah I can hear em too its my spider senses I think and my mum has some of those cat deterrent ones in her garden and I can hear the high pitched buzz they make although no one else in the family can. Weird I reckon. So on that note then I suppose the plug in ones would be no good for me Id never get any sleep coz of the noise. Confused

You could always turn em off at night, allowing you and the spiders some time to rest, and switch em back on in the day, so the spiders and you have a banging headache all day.

Invite all your mates around and have a spider stomping party. Keep fit and socialise at the same time.
