I used to be a complete arachnophobe. Couldn't walk into any room without checking the corners etc..
Years ago I got hyyppnotised out of it by a scheme they still run at London zoo.
I'll post a link for it.
We now live in a rural area and there are monstrous leggy things here but none scare me and I'm quite happy to deal with them.
If this is a phobia that is affecting you, try the scheme. It absolutely works and the feeling of freedom and liberation when you overcome that fear is wondrous. |

"It's mating time for spiders at the moment...we see more of them as they are looking for a partner. It depends on what size it was for me to be scared, hahaha  "
It was kinda the size of a £2 pound coin, maybe bigger. |

"Yep, as well as snakes. Just found out my landlady has 5 tarantulas and a 2 ft snake. No idea what kind, but not poisonous."
See I don’t mind snakes, they are cool,
Where’s spiders on the other hand, no no no |

For us, we have had a lot of spiders in the house with leg spans probably two £2 coins across where we live. Absolutely huge. And they seem to run faster than my cats can! Lightning quick. We capture them and pop them down outside in the garden. Horrible things but we wouldn’t kill them. They got shit to do too. |

The body was the size of a £2 coin, and the legs looked the same as a toothpick, I just remembered it moved when I noticed it |

Yep this spider was quick, but I think I may have a phobia of spiders, because I literally scream like a mad woman when I see one |

I’m calling you then next time I see any huge spiders (only joking) and I don’t mind snakes, I find them pretty cool even held a few snakes. |

"I like spiders and this is the time of year when the big ones come to visit. They are very welcome in my house as long as they stay out of my bed."
I'll happily give you mine, they're massive where I live x |

Top tip, get a spray bottle and fill it half with water and the other half with vinegar. Spray it at the doors, corners, cracks etc. The smell disappears but they obviously smell it because it does keep them from coming indoors. Same goes for peppermint oil and tea tree oil, they hate the smell of these x |

I live out in the countryside and at the moment the buggers are moving in for the winter.
They must be big as one walked across the TV remote control and it changed the channel. No problems but I don't like EastEnders!  |

"Ok I feel a bit bad posting this after the last message! Sorry to hear that!
But I just can’t be in the same room as them, instant panic attack, tears the works! "
You don’t really get the emotional connection with them as pets but still a shame to loose them |

I have a phobia but somehow I find the tiny babies cute - but the massive house spiders terrify me, heart pounds, panic.. I cannot be in the same room as them and will be freaked out for ages after seeing one, constantly checking, anxious.. why are they always on the floor?! 
Haven't seen a large one in my house this year.. yet! I've proberly just talked it up.. |

I think I have a phobia too, I keep looking in corners, and near the back door, to see if I see another one. And the really tiny ones I’m absolutely fine with. (Yeah I kinda still kill them) but now I’m kinda scared to turn off the lights  |

Absolutely hate spiders but Mrs says I am not allowed to kill them, therefore she gets the pleasure of dealing with any spiders that break into the house whilst I go and hide under the bed covers. |

I have a Trantula. It got out once and I couldn't find it so I had to keep the room shut. Six weeks later it was sprawled out in the middle of the carpet so I grabbed it and locked it up. |

I’m going to be borrowing your mrs in future, p.s I had an ex who was like that hated killing spiders. |

I don’t mind spiders which is a good thing considering the size of them I get in the house.
My daughter is petrified of them and has woken me up on the early hours to remove them from her bedroom.
What I am scared of though is snakes, I have a real fear of them. I have to make sure the toilet seats are down when we go to bed and the bathroom doors closed. It’s really stupid lol. |

Absolutely terrified of them, particularly the big house spiders. It’s not an “ewww, icky” fear, it is sheer, blood chilling, fight-or-flight terror, bordering on a panic attack.
Fortunately my gf is able to remove them (in return I remove wasps for her) so they are usually dealt with humanely. |

I have spider-phobia too but definitely getting better with them, especially since I bought a spider catcher so I can lift the big ones up and pop them out of a window. I'm OK now with small ones. |

It’s currently conker season and there are lots about on the floor , spiders hate something about conker either the shell or something that they emit. Nonetheless, a few placed strategically around the home should see the 8 legged freaks off.

I’m scared daft of them. I have just paid a ticket for stopping on a double red and leaving my car because there was a spider in there with me and I once fell out of a warehouse roof (harnessed luckily) because one of the killer creatures ran towards me in attack mode! |

Apparently that’s an old wives tale, which is a bit of a disappointment |

I’m not particularly fond of getting near them, although it’s always my job in the house to dispose of them one way or another.
They are fascinating creatures though. |

I think it's a primal thing, you should be scared of ones big enough to bite. The big cardinals etc can leave a painful bite and swelling. Some will have a reaction to it. Bastards are getting bigger. What are they feeding them on ??? |
