Picture it - you go into the bathroom late at night, turn on the light, and there is a HUGE black long-legged spider sitting right in the middle of the white bath - you cant miss it.
How do they get there? the window is shut, I have a hair snair in the plug hole, where do these huge things get in?????
Im running out of Raid !!!!!

cazz is right, spiders travel around the house, usually unseen, but when they encounter a bath or basin, they can't grip to climb out, which is why you find them there - hence the myth that they crawl up drinpipes. Apart from the fact that there are svereal inches of water in your basin drain trap which a spider could not get through, they are far too clean to go anywhere near a wet mucky drainpipe - unless it's a oneway trip out of your bathroom!
If you can stand it, drape a towel over the edge of the bath touching the bottom, and leave it overnight. Mr Spider will be gone in the morning, and you'll probably never see him again. They do good work killing disease-carrying flies, so try to be nice to them.

Once they get into the bath, the sides are too slippery for them to get out. If you dont want to find one there in the morning, leave a towel over teh side of teh bath so they can climb out on that. That's what my mum taught me when I was little....... thinking back, she also said you would never find more than one of the monsters in the bedroom because they dont like each other - and that was a big fat lie!
We had four of the biggies in yesterday. I am not going to enjoy the next few months!

I always lift them out of the bath or shower first as I hate to see them drown. They don't bother me at all but hubby isn't keen he tries to make out he's not scared but I know.....
My best friend is so scared that one quite a few years ago she came home and there wasa money spider on the door step and she rang her mum asleep upstairs to come and rescue her (it was about 2am)
Another time she's was on the phone to her then boyfriend who lived in Kent and a spider appeared she was screaming so much he actually got a train up to London then down to where she lived to remove it!!!

Yes, I felt such a fool afterwards. I wondered why it hadn't moved for such a long time.
At least it wasn't one of these.
