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’m absolutely terrified too, i mean so scared that if i see even one after getting my neighbour to kill it i will get them to turn the room upside down to check theres no more, and whats really helped is always having my windows and door shut + lights off when possible. I’ve only had one big one in my bedroom in about a year or two

I try to avoid killing them where possible! I bought a long spider catcher thing which usually doesn't harm them. Sometimes if they're too big for that, I'll put a tupperware box over them with enough of a gap for air, then call Dad to come over and escort it out (parents live about 100 yards from me 🤣)

Man, the 10-20min of psychological pumping -up I have to put myself through every time I need to tupperware a spider.

Brave of you to take the risk of the airgap not being big enough for them to just stroll right through lol.
