Was just wondering if anyone else has this spider in their homes or if they knew the name of it. A friend and I quote on quote “shat ourselves” when we saw it and tried to catch it but we are afraid to go anywhere near it now so it will probably just make permanent residents in her home from now on

Sorry for the terrible angle and photo, i was terrified taking the pic
🫥🕷️Fuck
It’s either the tegenaria or eratigena house spider. They’re both harmless. I think they may have been know to bite when provoked, but I don’t think they’re particularly good at it and it’s not a bad venom. I was rough with them as a kid and I couldn’t get one to bite me though. I honestly can’t say they even would. I’ve so many living in my bedroom.
Well it’s his gaff now 😅
You’ll be grand. Irish spiders are sound
The only thing you can do now is burn down the house
Shat myself two nights ago as one was hanging outside the window and casting a shadow over the curtain making it seem twice as large
Giant house spider? They’re crazy fast if it is.
That one is in your home, so definitely not in mine. Its name? It could be Bob, or his cousin Sam. It has always been hard tell them apart. They are both harmless, easy to catch and release.
That’s Bob. Why would he be in my home when he has his own? You are obviously renting from him!
I try to kill any I see or poison them with a soap covered fly
Make sure to pay him rent. A fly or two a week should do. If you fail to pay he may eat you so it’s best to pay. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Johnny down the road was eaten the last week! Apparently the spiders don’t accept the HAP scheme!
Eat it
You don’t need to *write* “quote on quote”, we can see the quotation marks. Really you didn’t even need the quotation marks, nobody would’ve thought you shat yourselves.
