  1. Your wife’s not going to be happy when she sees you’ve asked it to sit down and have a drink instead of giving it the boot.

  2. that’s a good ol giant house spider. Yes, that’s their actual name. They’re not a threat at all. The worst they can do is give you a bit of a fright. But mind if you’re gonna squish them be fast. cuz if they cop on they are fucking FAST little demons. And they can jump too. we’re about to come into the time of year where they start to look for shelter which happens to be your home. Expect to see a few more till the winter comes.

  3. Common house spider. They deal with the flies in your house. Won’t bother you at all.

  4. Oooh don’t show wife this comment but that’s on the small side I’m not joking you’d want to see the bastards that have come into this house

  5. I’ve seen bigger. These are harmless. I’ve seen false widows nearly this big. Give them the shoe that’s all you need to do. This guy looks like the native house spider if you can put him outside. False widows are destroying most of our native species.

  6. “They mostly come at night … mostly”.

    Which is true in my experience. Allegedly they are lonely and searching for a mate. Their normal reaction to humans is to freeze and hope the humans go away. When I am summoned by my wife to deal with them I find my cohabiting Tegenaria domestica / Eratigena atrica are easily caught in a clear plastic cup for transportation to an outdoor holiday destination.

  7. I read somewhere if you put them outside they’d most likely die so I started throwing them into the hot press, we don’t go in there anymore
