can spiders come up sinks?

?????


just get them out on the end of a mop !

I'm not keen on the big buggers and the other half is sh*t scared but I won't kill them. A slightly damp cloth and gently pick them up and out the door. Ok ..... I do make sure I open all doors and windows first to make sure I give it a quick and clear exit.

Those plastic spider catchers are quite good too .

Just leave a flannel or a towel draped over the edge of the sink or bath and they will climb out on their own. Please don't kill them, they only do good, and don't want any contact with you at all if they can help it.

Spiders have some of the most fascinating and intriguing lifestyles on the planet, especially since they stopped hiding in bikini bottoms with their legs sticking out.

Very well put..

In reference to your last statement; I wonder whether that was due to the competition from the 'half-a-pound of Golden Virginia' lot?

Golden Virginia? If only. We couldn't go abroad so it was usually a split pouch of old Holborn if we were lucky.

A total lie.

As always, Snopes has the facts on the 'facts'.

I know, but where's the fun in only telling the truth on a thread like this??

People who kill spiders should live in houses full of flies!

Spiders are ok, fairly friendly and very strokeable if they are large enough.

As said, they do need a climbing frame to escape the sink or bath tub.

I don't kill spiders.





If I see a big one I catch it in a glass and give it to the chickens. They love spiders.

My wife woke up one night due to the fact one was walking across her mouth. She hates them.

well the best way to deal with this is to deal with the phobia rather than the spider. perhaps she should research spiders and find out everything there is to know about them. eventually, her knowledge will outweigh any irrational fear she has of them.

the initial "panic" that is felt with phobias subsides after 15 seconds if they can hold out that long. something to remember when she opens a book and looks at a picture of a spider's 16 eyes (or however many they have). Once the phobic realises the panic subsides, they can deal with their fears better and get more and more acquainted with their chosen subject!

best thing about spiders is that they eat wasps, the honey bee's natural enemy, and as honey bees are on the decline, this is good, coz soon there will be no fruit in the shops and then your sister will starve.

guys making friends with the spider will in no way work, the issue isn't their existence or their presence at home, its the shop where we sell clothes to the public, who have no real need to spend 15 seconds and breathe and then cope, they will merely throw a hissy and never come back if they pull on a dress and a spider climbs out. On the upside mothballs seem to have done the trick, not had one in the sink for a week now

If spiders in the sink give you the heeby jeebies, think yourself lucky you haven't seen the creature that chases the spiders up the sink drain, now that is a spooky creature.

It's conker time aqain folks, and there's a theory that a few strategically placed conkers will keep the spiders away. Sounds like it would worth a punt at your shop david1701. Wouldn't smell like mothballs either

mmm right time of year, wise man Cubist
