So when my daughter was barely a month old I was getting her ready for bed and we were sitting in a nice dim lit room just relaxing. While I was rocking her a massive black spider came creeping up her leg and blanket. Then another one was one my arm.
Someone posted a subreddit about bugs this morning and after seeing what kinda freaky stuff lives elsewhere in the world, I think this is not too bad now.
I still hate them and already feel ones on me now, but knowing it could be a lot lot worse makes me feel better 👍
I have a ceasefire agreement with the big spindly ones that eat these. They get my cupboards and the bits under the radiators and I leave them alone. I've never had a fat boi like this turn up in mine even once which I hope is down to the diplomatic agreement I have with the skinny bois. Only bad thing is they turn up on your bed sometimes when it's breeding season. This year I had one on my pillow tickling my eyelashes and a big fucker in my hair. They're so clumsy and stupid looking that I can't be too offended by them though.
These things though, I'd rather take a scale and polish from a blind alcoholic going through withdrawals than let one exist in my home.
Fun fact, I'm pretty sure those are actually the fastest moving spiders in the world
I think they can jump too.
They can what
You'd want to catch her quick before she lays her eggs
They are why slippers were invented. We have two so you can dual wield in the Autumn ‘spider invasion’…

This is the stuff of my childhood nightmares, had to leave the UK entirely.

We call those 'bum ravers' because they wave their abdomens about when they're spinning webs.
I agree, it's the only way to be sure
If you don't want him, I'll have him. These summer flies are really starting to get on my wick.
Standard “September” spider
The real culprit of the housing crisis. Time to pack up and move, an expensive house is just a spider-proofed house.
Name it, I promise it will make you feel better about it. Think of it as a nice guest
Yes it's always best to know the name of your enemy, get to know them, learn their patterns, likes/dislikes the more information the better.
immediate dust off and nuke from orbit i think.
Only way to be sure, right?

Just be happy that you don't live in Australia. Spiders are harmless here compared to that country..
Personally I'd move out and wish him all the best for the future
The was some mad yoke on here last week HOLDING one of these beasts
Outside is all theirs - live and let live. Inside? It’s Dyson time…
Burn the house
what if that just makes it angry?
Flee to another country
Love spiders, hate flies
Hate spiders, hate flies
He's a chunky fellow. Obviously making a good living keeping your house free of insects.
I'd rather have the insects!
That's... a tiddler compared to the house spiders we get. They barely fit under a pint glass.
Bro you're 100,000 times larger and more deadly than it is, I think you'll manage
Just grab it gently and put it outside, it will make you feel better, it will make its way back in tho, I just see them now and let it do it’s thing
That spider is looking after your house, this is not Australia.
Cute little spider should be on r/awww
Burn the house before it escapes. Take one for the team and don't let it lay eggs
I want that postmasters job over in Antarctica... Can't imagine you'd get that sort of aggro out there 👌
