It’s Autumn now, they are making their way into our homes for the winter. I don’t like house spiders however I would never hurt one.
Get yourself a man who likes spiders to get them out for you! Haha!  |

Apparently they're around all the time, when you see them walking around your living room, it's because they're randy and have come out of hiding to find a mate.
So your living room is basically the fab swingers of the spider world! |

It's a little known fact that Sept/Oct is spider mating season. Male spiders often mistake eyelashes for female spiders,and that's how some mornings you may awake with your eyes stuck together or gunk in the corner of your eyes. This is in fact spider cum. Sweet dreams Cup Cakes  |

I genuinely love spiders. Beautiful, fascinating creatures. I'm always excited when I find one.
I genuinely don't get the level of hysteria about them. Sure, I understand that phobias aren't rational, but the way that "Look at me, I murder defenceless spiders" gets escalated into a "quirky and amusing" character trait baffles me.
I was interested to discover that it's yet another thing that makes the British a laughing stock abroad. In countries where they actually *do* have potentially dangerous spiders, they think we're comically pathetic about our harmless ones.

Spiders rub their willies on your face when you’re sleeping |

This is also why they stand in your bath. So they are easier to be seen by a mate |

Spiders don't have penises. To put it bluntly, they reproduce by fisting. |

Not true. They fall into baths and can't climb out again.
The thing about them "climbing out of the plug hole" is a lie people tell to justify murdering them by washing them away. Yes, spiders can drown.
If you don't want spiders in your bathtub, leave something draped over the side so they can climb out again. A towel should do it. |

"I love spiders - remember folks, they’re more scared of us than we are of them……unless of course it’s a Sydney Funnelweb which has been known on occasion, to actively chase humans…. "
You should offer a spider eviction service. You would be popular |

Can spiders fall? I thought they dangled everywhere on a silken thread  |

This has been my job in every workplace where word has got out about me and spiders. I used to keep a glass and a card on my desk just for catching them and relocating them away from humans that might harm them. |

Yes, spiders can fall. And some are far too heavy to "dangle everywhere on a silken thread".
Some, on the other hand, are light enough that they can cast a web into the air, and be carried away by the wind. It's called "ballooning". Yes: Some spiders can effectively fly. Hah.
Spiders really are amazing. |

I put loo roll from the window down into the bath if a spiders in it in the hope it climbs up and politely leaves. I'd not kill it but I'd not touch it either. All those legs give me the heebie jeebies... |

Spiders are amazing creatures with the variety of species and different ways they have of moving, hunting and living.
I am also terrified of them. Arachnophobia really isn’t fun. Harvester spiders I can usually deal with, but big house spiders are a different story. It’s hard to describe just how terrified I am of them, but seeing one can result in a borderline panic attack, particularly if it is between me and an escape route. I can’t be in the same room as them and my gf has to get rid of them. Most of the time we take them outside, but very occasionally (usually if I am on my own) they get hoovered up.
A lot of people will criticise me, say “can you not just drop a cup over them?” or remind me that they are more afraid of me than I am of them, but it’s not that simple. I really wish I could just scoop them up in a glass or a spider catcher myself and take them outside but I literally can’t. It’s not just fear, it is full on, adrenaline pumping, fight or flight terror. |

Same. Just picturing one in my head can get the panic started. |

Glad I’m not the only one! I find it really hard to explain it to people who aren’t as arachnophobic, but they usually understand very quickly if they see my reaction to one, haha! |

Your house, to a spider, is warm but dry environment. Spiders go into sinks/ bathtubs in search of water but then can't get back out. As mentioned above, leave a flannel or towel draped over edge so they can get out. Unless you want to catch them - btw, big ones taste of pepper! |

Known fact if you have a spider in your bedroom some time through the night it'll be coming down to get a drink this will be from your mouth and if it finds something to eat it's going to throw a party |
