LOL - aren't we awful, eh?

Don't know about you but when I come face to face with one I don't stop to think - I just grab and spray/squirt! Just whatever is the nearest thing to me at the time - washing up liquid, shower gel, perfume, air freshener, ketchup - oh yes, very daft, I know ...

... forgot to add that I've also used hairspray when that was the only thing close to hand at the time. Well - it does slow them down enough for me to whack 'em!

Athena

LOL - Annie, I've done the same thing - not sure what we hope deodorant can do to save us - but at least our spiders will be sweat-free, eh?

I was getting into bed last night( with my

dog trying to get in before me) when I

lifted my pillow and out ran a huge spider!

I did not sleep much last night, as you

can imagine.I also seem to have a lot of

wasps in the bungalow as well, I get the

top of my deodorant spray, trap them in

that and put them outside.Perhaps its

the same ones coming back in again!!

As long as it is not mice I can cope ,if it

was mice I would have a nervous

breakdown as I am terrified of them!

maybe we'll find some truffles while we are down here, CC? lol

I have three conker trees overhanging my house/garden.. and I have ginormous spiders and Daddy-long-legs! I usually don't mind spiders, either, but they are too big even for me to deal with. The Daddy long legs I really can't stand, strange, isn't it!

*skips off to join neighbourhood kids who are all rummaging in my garden conker hunting)

Love

There is a spray I bought a couple of years ago called "No More Spiders" - It did seem to work as I used to spray it around in my last home and didn't see many spiders for years. Doesn't kill them, just deters them.

I moved house recently and haven't unpacked yet so can't get my hands on that spray - but when I do I will blast my house with it from top to bottom LOL.

I live next to a pine forest (not posh - owned by MoD) and get all sorts of insects so have net curtains at all windows to try and stop them getting in! Couple of years ago had horrendous buzzing in my bedroom - I was petrified it looked like a huge bee/wasp type thingy - kept my eye on it then 'lost' it so stayed up all night listening ... was working then so had to ring in say I was not going in and ran local authority who gave me tel.no. for zapper man - when he arrived he found I had a hornets next in my eaves ... so he zapped them and came back again in evening to check they were all throughly finished off !
Cost a fortune - but L.A. only pay if you have small children - now that would be a miracle! Jx

pmsl Athena, I agree they do seem to be running quicker. There is probably a 'Spiders are Us" out there that they all go to, to buy roller skates.

I hate the hairy, scary monsters, too! Got the fright of my life the other night as I came bounding downstairs - I saw something black running at great speed around the floor and thought it was a mouse. I couldn't focus on it at first. Then when it stopped I realised it was a bloomin' MASSIVE spider!!! (I would have preferred the mouse)

Talk about almost have a heart attack on the spot LOL - it was one of those with the massive body in the middle, and thick black legs. I knew it could see me, which is why it was running at such speed - and boy, did he move! Speedy Gonzales of the spider kingdom!

Well, Speedy is no more, I'm afraid. He had an accident with my flip-flop as he came charging towards me ...sorry, but I had to - I was hyperventilating and on the verge of collapse!

I hate Daddylonglegs, evil little buggers.

Apparently their poison is the most lethal of all spiders but they can't penetrate skin because their antennae thingmejiggy is not sharp enough

Gross.
