I realise we are lucky in the UK not to have poisonous spiders (so far as I know anyway), but my golly there's been some huge ones finding their way into my home in the last week or so  . Fortunately I'm not usually freaked by them, but at the weekend there was a massive one - with a big fat body and really long legs - which my son's brave girlfriend caught under a glass and gave it a chance to live by putting it outside. Yesterday I discovered it was back - either that or it was his twin brother come in to see what had happened to him - I regret I was not so generous and disposed of him permanently. Anyone else had some whoppers appear? |

Yes we have had some whoppers Jax, they scare me when they suddenly gallop into the sitting room, I usually do the glass disposal method too, but the ones I really can't bear are the spindly leg spiders, the ones with really skinny long legs and tiny bodies, if I didn't dispose of them completely our house would be overrun with the blasted things, I seem to find them on a daily basis this time of year, I know their preferred hanging/hiding places  |

Jazzy, that was exactly the type that freaked me out this morning (where is the eye popping out smilie?) I came down stairs, made a coffee, fed the monsters and went to the glass fronted bathroom cabinet. As I looked up before sliding the door, there on the top of my head was a huge spider !!!!! . I squealed like a banchee, shook my head and rubbed the spider off onto the floor. It ran behind the toilet. I am shuddering just writing this and kept wondering how long had it been there ?  |

Cherry, I started to watch and found myself going goose bumpy and moving backwards from the screen, ooh no, had to switch off Sunny, I would have screamed too, oh how awful , this has reminded me of an incident a few years back, OH had bought me a cup of tea in bed, and I was just relaxing, thinking about the day ahead, and because I wear specs, everything is a bit blurred, so I saw something dark and fast moving out of the corner of my left eye, and thought I hope that wasn't a spider, and sure enough, there was whopper spindly, done a bungee jump from the ceiling and landed right there next to me, boy did I move like greased lightening, and spindly was no more. |

My daughter loved spiders until she was about 5, then a 'friend' came round and told her how scary they are. Now at 25, she is still frightened by them.

I've got this clear plastic fly/spider catcher. I catch them in it and and put the spiders outside.

I remember watching this with YD (17) but I know it was my son who absolutely loved it 6herry.
Some kind people on here, catching spiders and putting them out.
Sunny, that is the most horrible thing i've heard... apart from OHs friend who woke up with one in his mouth as he was choking in his sleep.

Our cat is quite partial to the odd spider, cobwebs and all!
