Life in north east England (yes, we've moved!) with an eccentric Welshman and a small white dog that thinks he's a Rottweiler.
Arachnophobe tip
Replace carpets with laminate or wood flooring. Spiders move more slowly across its smooth surface, making it easier to stamp on them. Either that or the one I killed the other night was in its dotage. I'm just proud of myself for being able to get close enough to do the necessary. A gold star for that, I think!

Or perhaps consider keeping a snake or two. Snakes eat spiders, don't they? Do they? OK then. A bird? Birds eat 'em. They do. You can't rely on Keith, after all. He's only got one good stamping foot.
Keith can't stamp with either of his feet, Dale. Bit of a let-down really. After all, why else does one keep a man in the house but to kill the spiders? ;)
Ah that explains a lot......if your man can't 'put his foot down' now and then.
Back to the spiders and a wooden floor, I had that done a year ago and I seem to see MORE spiders now than when they were hidden in the carpet. They scuttle across at a fair old speed though and it's quite funny to see them try and get a grip on the polished surface.
I just let them get on with it and find their dark place. I'm heavily into symbiosis - although that might just be cause I'm too lazy to get out of my recliner to squish one.

No gold star just a plea that you cease your genocide! Spiders are beautiful creatures which deserve our respect not our stamping feet! I shall dress up in a hairy spider suit and come to see you in your place of work! See all the little children run! See the teacher running! Jennyta is crying! Jennyta is so sad. The big hairy spider is gobbling her up!
Now Jennyta is smiling!
Now YP is squished.
Hear the children cheering.
Hear Jennyta cheering too.
Hear Elton sing 'The Circle Of Life'

Didn't realise you were such a sadist, YP!
Ian, justice will be done!
Murderer.............!!!!
Et tu, Krip? :(
Wow.....I'm full after just one.
Ian
Wow, you're on your own for once:o)
Read my lips: Spiders are nice things. They are pest controllers and webs are things of beauty,
Stub out the stamping!
No they're not!!!
