    Anybody else having large kamikaze spiders running across their living room floors at dusk? Me and Laura have had three in a week.

    Spider season now. They don't bother me though but it's hard for those with a phobia.

    Yep, it's generally the males looking for a bit of eight-legged loving...

    Yeah, happens every year. It'll carry on for another month or so then settle down again.

    Why kamikaze?
    Seriously unless someone in the house has an irrational fear*, just leave them alone.
    Every other creepy crawly in your house is potential dinner for a spider, whilst being no harm to us whatsoever, they’ll eat their way through annoying flies, midges, mossies and owt else they can get their hands on.

    *and if someone has an irrational fear, just catch em and Chuck em outside where they can go on killing nasties without scaring the family.

    Laura isn't as forgiving as me. I'll be sat on sofa and lift my legs up. We're both scared of them. I've tried reading up on them and educating myself but still don't like em'. After reading that they only scamper when they think they've found a potential mature female. It just makes me think where's she hiding.

    It's one of the only creepy crawlies I don't like but I always put them outside unless the dog sees it first and then I've no chance

    I genuinely don't like killing them but I don't shed a tear when Laura does.

    Is that from Lord of the Rings. Hated that scene. Also eight legged freaks and arachnophia.
