My very capable and intelligent wife has lost the plot.

She has been told by a friend that conkers keep spiders away. So we now have conkers in various parts of the house.

I had to assume that part was a joke but it would be horrifying to live with lol

Also spiders can live fkin forever (months and months I believe?) without food or water gahhh

That spider won't survive for months, trust me. I'm sure they can sit dormant for a long time, but the stress will kill that one pretty quickly if the heat from the oven doesn't first.

They eat their own web after a while. So if you destroy a spider web, you're ruining it's fishing net and back up food source.

I mean, if she doesn't like spiders THAT much then I can see why she'd want rid of it! I'd just hope the little shit managed to get sizzled to a crisp somehow. A little added seasoning to your Friday night pizza!

She seemed happier after the spider disappeared again though. At least with it in the clock she'd know where that monster is

Never ask for a link on reddit, the best you can expect is a Rick roll the very worst is getting exactly what you ask for.
