    I was told by my Grandmother so probably an old wives tail,that if one heard a Ticking Spider in the house it meant some one was going to die soon.

    What's a ticking spider?

    I've had about 15 of these things on my balcony/outside my windows (slowly moving inside)

    Hard to kill the buggers...

    Just done more research. They were actually harmless silver side sector spiders.

    What have I done :-O

    There's too many spiders in general these days. I know it's the time of year, but about 3 weeks ago, there was one in my bath in the morning, one on the stairs when I got home, and about 5 mins later when I was ironing my shirt, another little bugger just runs across the landing hall and under the spare bed. 3 in my house in one day is disproportionate I feel. Roll on a cold October I hope

    They're already moving inside. Isn't October the time of year they all die out?

    No, it's the time they PRETEND to be dying out, when all the while they have crept into your house, watching, waiting... scheming.

    Dyson at the ready. The satisfaction of sucking spiders up in a Dyson and then counting the pieces through the Perspex container.

We normally get 2 big 1s this time of year but 5 this year ... people say put them outside but why would i do that when he will bowl back in my house the next day and eye ball me again so i nearly sh1t my self again like bill murry in ground hog day .. thats torture ....kill 1 less to worry about is my thought because im too scared to sit on my new 40 rug incase one and they can bitr my ass.... so squash them
