The spiders have moved in and you're not happy about it!

We recently asked if you had any qualms about the creepy crawlies coming into your homes and bejaysus, it appears you do.

Fear of our eight-legged spider friends is one of our most common phobias and it's made all the worse when they decide to move in, without contributing to rent or bills! 
'Giant' garden or house spiders are known to make their way into homes in bigger numbers in late summer and throughout autumn in search of breeding partners. Just about now in fact!

They can have a leg span of up to 3cm, but are of course totally harmless to humans...with the exception of instilling blind terror.
There's not much arachnaphobes can do to prevent our cold-blooded creatures moving in for the winter with open windows and doors, holes in pipes and wall cavities all too inviting.
Is there anything lurking behind your couch? Here just some of what you shared with us! keep it scuttling in!
