| I'm Being STALKED By A SPIDER! Seriously, this spider is following I swear! Last night it was in the front room and the d*mn thing nearly walked across me on the sofa, I FREAKED out and shoved the laptop at it then watched it wonder across the back of the sofa, down the arm and into the box I keep my laptop accessories in! I thought I'd get something HUGE to trap it under till BF got up in the morning cuz I didn't like the idea of it walking about... well I get something and bravely knocked the box over with the help of a 2ft decorative twig, cuz I just THAT brave! It had GONE!!!! So I took my laptop unstairs to bed so I didn't have to share a room with it! Now I'm doing laundry and I go to take some into Amelia's room.... and I can't get in there... the spider is right above the door! I'm NOT walking under it! NOPE, not a chance. I'm glad I didn't put Amelia down for a nap in her cot because she would be stuck in there till either I got my mum to come up, BF got home or the spider moves! So now I'm waiting for it to move, I'm not brave enough to knock it on the floor... it might get me, or land on me, or.... ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! If it walks off I know it's still here though... catch-22! Help! Oh I was brave enough to stand on the opposite side of the hallway and take a photo so it it... this is one of the ones that carries hiking equipment across the room when it's out.

| You sound just like me, but I'm like that about bugs that can fly or jump on me! I hate crickets, grasshoppers, bees, ugh!!! We have had a ton of grasshoppers in our yard lately! I almost sat on a big one that was on our lawn chair, I about had a heart attack! This one keeps getting on our window in the family room and it's right where Wrigley lays on the back of the couch to look out, she cries and whines at it!

There is no way I'm getting close enough to that with a fly swatter! Gosh! What happens when I hit it and it's not dead and then attacks me, or worse yet takes Amelia or one of the dogs in revenge?

| Ok that is one nasty looking spider! The thought of that thing walking about would be motivation enough for me to grab something and do away with it! Good Luck to you....Now I have to go spray my house.................... |

| What if it doesn't die though and then gets p*ssed at me??? It might attack... I don't even know if they do attack or not. It could fall on me too! And if I did kill it then what? I'm NOT touching it, not toilet roll is thick enough to pick that up and flush it!

I can't get near it, I was like 4ft away when I took that photo and I'm getting no closer! It's like 6ft up too, right above the doorway next to the ceiling... I'd have to get step ladders to reach it and then I'd probably fall off and the stairs are right next to the door. It could end in disaster!

| Okay... I thought about the hoover before and here is my logic with that... I suck the spider up into the hoover... then I switch it off and there is no suction there... does that mean then that the spider can climb back out the way it went in????
