Spider Worry

[Arctic]

Spiders are part of the good form of nature they keep down all the rest of the vermin, cockroaches, earwigs, mosquitoes, flies, and moths will be no match for their sticky webs!

Don't stamp on them put them out side

I have maintained for a long time, spiders are territorial, when you put them out make it a fair distance or the beastie "will come home".

One large screwdriver poked under to squish the gyt then soaked the gap with spider repellent and duck taped the gap. Will I sleep tonight? Hmmmm

Turns out I didn’t get it, my son went down for a bedtime drink and the gyt made its presence felt. Found it behind the plinth board of the kitchen, couldn’t get to it to squirted it with repellent and it disappeared further under the cupboards. Had a look this morning and no sign but the Hoover is on hand in case it shows up while I’m out and the kids are in.

Sleep tonight ???? Probably yes but might ( if you snore ) wake up with the taste of fly poo in your mouth with them having a field day with that big creepy crawly not about.-----

It's a Saint Andrew's cross spider.





VENOM TOXICITY - the bite of the St Andrews Cross is of low risk (non-toxic) to humans. They are a non-aggressive group of spiders.

That does look like the one I remember. Glad to know it was non toxic!

Doesn't that Gavin Williamson fellah have a pet Tarantula. My plan is to go round to his house and get him squashed, then humanely re home his spider.
