So how do you deal with spiders?
131 Answers
Working at my desk the other night, out of the corner of my eye I caught something moving - a fairly big spider running around my envelope holder (a largish wooden box with four slots to hold the contents vertically). There he was running up and down the envelopes, appearing and then disappearing into the dark depths of the box. Now, where spiders are concerned, rationality fails me completely, and if my husband is out when I spot one, as he was on this occasion, the only way I can deal with it is to suck it up the vacuum cleaner (yes, I know - wicked!). However, this fellow was a speedy little blighter and there was no way I could touch those envelopes to see where he'd gone.
I sit here now ...... knowing he's still around ....... somewhere. Urrrgh!

Naomi, I have the only solution that I`ve found possibl. In every one I have hanging (for such an occasion) one of those lare feather dusters. Had an enormous one in the bath a couple of years back and, being inspired, I opened the nearest window, pushed the duster on to the S..... (can`t even say the word!) and he disappeared within. Then I threw the duster out and retrieved it later. It`s a perfect hideyhole for them.
Craftypig, I am sure you know full well thatn phobics like naomi24 (and me!) could no more pick up a spider than put out a bonfire with our faces!
Getting within touching distance is not an option - I just ignore them, they are around, and as long as I can't see them, I can forget about them. Probably works both ways!

Get the man hostage a glass and an envelope... unless the spider is directly in my path, then I can't get to the kitchen to get the glass and an envelope and the man hostage rolls his eyes and tells me off.
If I were ever alone and saw one of the mutants that have been plagueing us recently, I imagine I'd just walk out of that room and refuse to go back in there. Seems the only sensible option.

Hi Yogi, I had one that ran out every morning from under the skirting board, sat there for a minute, and ran back again. I tried really hard to think rationally and overcome my fear so I did as you do and tried to think of him as a pet. I even gave him a name! However, whether it was my imagination or whether it really happened, he seemed to grow bigger by the day - until finally he had to go. He's up the hoover now. :o(
