I'm sitting on the couch watching Catastrophe. Out of the corner of my eye I see movement. Look over and there's a ginormous spider crawling across the arm of the couch. I grab a magazine, pause the show, and rush to the end of the couch, and it's gone. Just disappeared. How am I supposed to live in this house with a big ugly spider on the loose. 😭

If it’s big enough to eat you, I recommend leaving home. 😄
There is a large spider on the loose somewhere in my car. It hitched a lift on my DS’s guitar case last week. When he tried to usher it off the back seat it ran underneath it instead. Thankfully I’m not bothered by spiders, but I still don’t fancy it jumping on my hand when I change gear or something!

Well, before you sell the house, whip out your vacuum and go to town all over your living room. Move the couch if you can.
This always makes me feel better because I figure if I didn't suck it up, I bothered it enough to make it want to leave.

Flame thrower is the only option. Start flipping furniture and taking aim.

I once couldn’t find a large spider I saw in my car. I described it to my husband and noted that it had a huge belly. He said the worst thing possible. “You better hope that thing doesn’t have babies.”
Ugh

A cat will stalk that sucker down for you.
I'd be a bit bothered by that. Spider is hiding on the underskirt of the sofa.

I only saw it for a split second, but I'm thinking maybe an inch in diameter, including the legs? Maybe a little smaller. But deadly ones can be pretty small. I always hear people say they're more scared of me than I am of them but I'm not so sure.

I hate that. It's always really late when I see a big spider and I can't relax til I find the blighter.

An inch? That's a baby spider! I would not worry about it. Now where's its mama?

I once had a large black spider drop from the ceiling right into the middle of our living room floor one evening. It made an audible thud when it landed. After it landed it flexed it’s freaking legs and then popped all the way up. At that point I actually started screaming. Thankfully my husband was up off the couch holding a shoe and squished him right after that.
I do not do spiders in the house. They can live wherever they want to outside of the walls of my house, and I will leave them be. But as soon as they come inside they are dead.

I've gotten less afraid of spiders, but hate the fast moving ones. DD had a tarantula when she lived with us. Darned thing wasn't so bad when it was a baby, but by the time she moved out, that thing was about 3" long and about as wide. It was bizarre watching it molt. One day you look and think it's dead lying on it's back, then this alien looking creature starts to burst out and now have 2 spiders, one live and the other the discarded exoskeleton.

That happened to me...
Almost a week later I caught it crawling out from under the cushion. That damn thing was living in my couch.
I was about to set it on fire

I also vote burn it down. I wouldn’t be able to sleep. I watched a video recently of a HUGE spider (probably Australia  )crawling around the back end of an SUV. It then found the trunk seam and crawled right into the car. I’m still worried for that driver |

I grab a magazine, pause the show, and rush to the end of the couch, and it's gone. Just disappeared. How am I supposed to live in this house with a big ugly spider on the loose. 😭 You paused the show first? That was your mistake. so it's basically your fault you now have to burn your house down....😂😂 |

Did you burn the house down yet? Speaking as someone who had a spider in their ear for two days I’m not above sleeping with pantyhose on my head or setting a small fire. Just sayin...

He eats other bugs. He us actually a good roommate! Yes. I like to think of all spiders as Charlotte. So what if they eat their mate after sex? I mean, 50% fewer spiders. |
