"Unfortunately for them, the dry warm conditions in modern houses tend to cause desiccation and death.
Good

But the spokeswoman said that, if in doubt, members of the public should contact their local environmental health department for advice.
I prefer my own method for getting rid of them, by putting a gehad on them

Now that doesn't scare me, probably because it wouldn't just sneak into your house and pop out on the carpet next to your bare feet like these little bastards we have...
I used to be scared of all spiders....but was made to hold one at some get over your fear thing at longleat after having a boa constrictor wrapped around my neck and a scorpion on my arm

They say you swallow an average of 7 spiders in your lifetime......which is why I sleep face down.

The spiders in our house have me spooked, I keep thinking they are on me. The other day I was on the sofa again with the GF and she touched the skin on my back with her foot and I took off into the air across the room then the next day she thought it would be hilarious to walk her hand up my back as I was leaning over the side of the sofa but she didn't realise I was picking up a cup of coffee. Everything was soaked.

King Baboon Spider

Common Group: TARANTULAS & SPIDERS
Common Name: King Baboon Spider
Scientific Name: Citharischilus crawshayi
Distribution: Kenya, Africa
Size: 8” - 9”

Behavior
Very aggressive, and VENOMOUS - do not handle. They have 1/2” fangs.

Captive environment
Provide dark hiding places for this species. Keep a large area of moist moss available. Change moist moss every 4-5 days.



When provoked, King Baboons will rear-up on their pencil thick back legs and hiss loudly.



I don't need advice off anyone not to handle that fooker

Goliath
Bird Eater
Theraphosa blondi

This tarantula is indigenous to the rain forest regions of northern South America. This true giant of the spider world is the largest species on earth. Adults have been known to exceed a quarter of a pound in weight with an 11-inch leg span. These animals readily flick painful urticating hairs, and when provoked will bite with their one inch long fangs!


How could you keep such a beast in your home? Do you never think "did I close the lid?"

I had two of those huge house spiders on my landing last week... I put a pint glass over it. Then I found a smaller one in the spare room, so I captured that and put in in the same pint glass. Nothing happened at first much to my dissapointment

But the next day the smaller of the two was alive and kicking and the bigger one was toast!
