This is the spider that is in my bathroom. I havent had the heart to vacuum it yet but also I can not work out wether its a black widow or not? What do you think?

I couldn't get a poto of where the red spot should be. When I took a photo of it it ran off and at the same time my hand touched its web so I dropped my camera. Good job its shock proof!

Buy some Spider Stop spray from Betterware and spray it in all the nooks and cranies you think a spider may be lurking. Looking at your photo, I reckon it has run back under the bath panel.

I hate the buggers.
DEN will run over it with her Car for you !! lol
Hi DEN how are you ??
Lizard/chit-chat will clear it. If the web is repaired, the spider is home.

They do have lizards here. I would love to have one in my apartment to eat all the flies etc but they wont come in.

Just reading this thread and oh my god I'm getting goosebumps ..Sorry to say but I would have gotten the hoover out and given it to my brother to hoover up

#in all seriousness though what should I do if it isn't there? I am actually quite worried now.
Buy some insect repellent (if they have it in Egypt) Spray oodles of it in every room whilst your face is covered by a mask. They go out for as long as possible.
I meant' 'then go out for as long as possible'!!!
I spoke to a guy earlier - when I was at my work. He said that it is definitely from the same family as a black widow. He says that it is a Theridiidae.

He said that you should exercise caution and said that he was glad that he wasn't in Egypt with you.

Tempting though it would be I am not winding you up.

Damn it. It is there still (which is good) but I now have to vacuum it. I HATE killing things really it will make me feel bad for days.
Oh dear. I would be much the same. But needs must!
Question Author
Hey its not coming out so I went to get some insect spray. Will this kill it?
So - who won?
