If you find one of these in your house/garage/shed etc. do not panic! (even arachnophobes!) These guys kill other spiders and bugs like daddy long legs, and generally keep themselves to themselves 🙂

  1. There seems to be an abundance of daddy long legs this year. Thankfully my dog likes to eat the horrible bastards.

  2. These skinny spiders don’t bother me; they keep to their corner and they’re very slow moving.

    It’s the big thick fuckers that scurry all over that freak me out.

  3. I made the mistake of leaving a few on the ceiling for this very reason, they caught fuck all, covered the place in web (which houses their many eggs) and their descendents are now legion.

  4. I realised one was crawling on my bare shoulder the other night whilst I was still awake reading, boyfriend asleep. Woke him up by screaming and he instantly killed it for me, hero. Sorry.

  5. They’re not very smart though. I had to remove the same one from my shower on multiple days last week because it kept going back in. You’d think it would learn after I’ve switched the shower on not knowing it was there, and its silly long legs start sticking to the condensation on the wall.

  6. Not when im looking for the lawnmower in a dark garage because the lights knackered. I have to have a shower after gardening because i feel like im covered in creepy crawlies.

  7. Generally keep to themselves… Spider lies. They walk on my arm in the night and then force me to murder them. If only they kept to themselves it wouldn’t come to this.

  8. By ‘daddy longlegs’ do you mean harvestmen or craneflies? Either way, I guess the enemy of my enemy is my friend

  9. These are the only ones I have so they are getting killed. And I’ve covered the house in peppermint oil just to make sure. Little bastards cover the place in webs.

  10. If a spider is in my house and I find it, it’s getting squashed and thrown down the bog. They have the entire natural world to play in, inside these 4 walls is my space!

  11. I’ve got two of them in my room because i’ve heard they’re good for this, made a nice little web above my ps5. Call one Barry and one Dave, hope they don’t think i’m racist when i say hello to the wrong one thinking it’s the other…

  12. I have these in my bathroom and have to leave a strip of toilet roll hanging into the tub as a spider ladder. Otherwise they keep falling in and can’t get out again. I let them hang around for the reasons you stated. I’ll take the spindly little fucks over the bitey flies they eat any time.

  13. Between these ones in the top corner of every room and my cat, I haven’t even seen a chunky big fucker since I moved in (I shall await her arrival this evening at an inconvenient moment, since I just said that)

  14. All spiders are friends! They chill in our-of-the-way places, keep bugs and other nasties under control, and are just generally bros!

    If they didn’t look a bit weird nobody would be afraid of them!

  15. Fucking things – I keep them in the house and they reward me by shitting on my toothbrush and eating my giant house spiders.

    It’s always a nice surprise to see a fat housey scuttle across the floor when I come home at night… not so much when I see that a cellar spider half its size has eaten him overnight. Impressive things, but they only seem to eat other spiders in my house. 2/10
