i tell them to leave as they dont pay me rent! then my cats eat them

I got one of those sparys on the market that supposedly keep spiders out. I have to say it didn't work, unless it did and I just trapped all the spiders inside!

I can quite happily hold a tarantula and daddy long legs however house and garden spiders are another story!! eeek!! I usually scream my head off until someone removes them

Just to let you know that daddy long-legs are insects, not spiders. Insects have six legs. Spiders have eight legs. I'm not scared of spiders but appreciate that some people are. One way to tackle arachnophobia (fear of eight-legged creatures) is to start by looking at photos of spiders and then toys of spiders, whilst doing deep-breathing and feeling calm. You then take the next step of looking at at a living spider from a distance you feel comfortable with. Then gradually move closer. A British spider is no threat to you.

spiders are worse i think then tarantulas!.....tarantulas have outstanding colours, not as fast as some of the spider you see scatter around in your house(well tarantulas aren't scatty unless you agrivate them.....or you might get urticating hairs or have a bite!).........some spiders are deadly, such as black widow and huntsman spiders, BUT when it comes to tarantulas, they are NOT fatal UNLESS ALLERGIC TO THERE VENOM (EXTREMELY RARE).........so first try and hold a tarantula

I have a phobia of spiders as well used to be all spiders but i found that if i FORCED myself to let one run over me it wouldnt be that bad.. All the phobia of spiders is is your brain cannot work out how a spider can have eight legs and move the way the spider does.. My advice is start with small money spiders and let them crawl over ya hand just take deep breaths and relax... It does get easier in time.. Daddy long legs can be just as frightening for that very reason.. I overcame my fear by catching one in my hand and cupping the hand of course i went pale afterwards lol... I can now go to the medium spider range.. I cant tolerate big massive spiders

I used to be scared of spiders too but after I held just a little one in my garden I now love them.

Thats the exact same story as me lol
My first day at college i held one and was utterly terrified, but felt so much better afterwards. I now own one myself, and love handling them

I hate spiders, and daddy long legs, and slugs, and snails, and anything creepy crawly, or anything that flies around you like bats, and even butterflies.
OMG I am such a wimp!
