#ThisMorning
I bought a spider vaccum from Amazon, really helped me a lot. I take them to the garden
Can you post the link???
@@andrefuller3669 just Google a spider vacuum and amazon will pop up with suggestions..I went for a blue one,easy to assemble
I wish the woman presenter would stop interrupting the gentleman giving advise about spiders. She has ruined the interview . Not interested in listening about her phobias on spiders.
Agree entirely - surely these presenters should have some training before being unleashed on the public.
Welcome to daytime tv in the uk. Why I don’t pay my tv licence 😂
Totally agree. Really painful. Surely the producer should have said in her ear to shut up?
She can interrupt me anytime
it takes about 2 braincells and a good looking face to be a TV presenter.
Conkers don’t work, once had a huge one sat on a pile or them.
Ditto! 😂😂
I think you’re meant to crush them with the conkers😂
@@bordersw1239 🤣
I wish they would just let the expert talk instead of constantly interrupting him!
Totally agree. Was incredibly painful
She’s got a gob 😂…
Not missing Cat tho
I'm a spider serial killer. My conservatory used to be full of false widows. Terrifying. But at least in my new house I don't have those giant house spiders. It's weird how different locations have different breeds of spider.
🤣
It's rare to see spiders in my house.. Because anything I spot gets eliminated immediately! I just don't give them a chance to breed in my property. And they probably got the message too.. Don't go in that house! 😆
@danimayb yeah, and keeping your home super clean and hoovered and tidy also stops any from gaining entry hahahaha. I blame the film arachnophobia that I saw far too young. Classic though. Not made a spider film like it since. Ha
Everything deserves to live, please don't harm them. Use an old match box or cup and cardboard.
@@nataliem7011 yes, I agree. As I've aged I definitely think twice before ending them and if it is possible to put them outside I am brave and do that. It's weird how we look after everything else yet don't think twice about killing spiders. Must be a fear thing. Strange.
Sorry… they need to stay OUT my house or I’m not responsible…😵💫😑‼️
😂😂
Agreed!
You have been conditioned to fear them , probably by your parents
@@stevenvitali7404 wrong Einstein… my parents would not make a big deal and put them outside… I just find them icky and I’m not a bug person at all… so what’s your next reason???
@@suecastillo4056 IDK, but you should let them stay unless you find a medically significant one. Spiders are good for keeping other critters at bay, they're friends.
Big uns, eh? Can you ride 'em? Got my lasso and saddle ready.
Why the hate? Relocate them if you need to but spiders help control flies and other annoying invaders.
Haha I bet the crew have such a laugh at these topics nice to have something light hearted I freeze when see them but use a old match box then tip outside 😊
We had 3 huge ones last night, they move so fast
Eww
I had to remove one almost every night for a month last year. I kept thinking it was the same one comming back 😂. The one that started crawling down my face was the one that got me 😮
I was told mint tea bags worked. So I drank the mint tea and put the used bags, ( on bare floorboards), in each corner of the bedroom. It seems to have worked. I think they just dont like anything pungent.
I always leave the cellar spiders because they eat the other spiders :)
Oh no this makes me so anxious 😬
Just leave them alone they are not doing anything that can hurt you they ain’t changing your Netflix program or making sandwich’s out of your fridge they are fine and completely natural
They terrify me. I will put it outside I can't relax if I know 100% that one is inside
I understand where you’re coming from and the presenters are really making light of their ‘fear’ but some people are actually genuinely phobic and can’t deal with knowing one is in the room.
We call the spindly ones Mildreds. I don’t know how the name stuck. They leave cobwebs everywhere… a pain in the proverbial!
Usually if one makes a Web in the corner it's a female who's set up a home. They will stay there most of their lives if the conditions are good. Sometimes I leave them be if they do that
Spiders are welcome in my house, they help get rid of smaller and more unpleasant bugs 😂
I haven’t seen any flies this year, nor last. Something to do with Global Warming I’m sure.
I’ve always shut my windows and doors for years, ever since I first heard about about each being the point of entry and, apart from a couple of hours in the morning they’ll stay that way!!! 🕷
@@suewright1299Plenty of flys about madam. Drive around any city. Spiders also eat a lot more than flys. The big spiders that walk. Hunt prey more often than web catch. The are a breed of wolf spider
These spiders in your homes stay rent free.
I was born with a spider removal device….its called the sole of my foot
Gosh that lady likes to interrupt spoiling the interview .
Arachnophobes beware Craig says and then cue lots of images to freak out said arachnophobes, how daft!! (although I'm better than I used to be, just listening to the video!!!)
In Scotland they are massive and if you see one another will follow so no point in killing them, I just ignore them.
Your expert is wrong . Daddy long legs are spiders that eat house spiders which is why they have long legs to spin the house spiders up in Web to avoid it's fangs. The insect he referred to as Daddy long legs are Crane flies .
The common name 'daddy long-legs' is used to refer to three entirely different creatures; Pholcus phalangioides (long-bodied cellar spider), harvestmen (Order Opiliones) which is sill an arachnid but not a spider, and crane flies (Family Tipulidae).
Also, cellar spiders are not specialised spider hunters. They are opportunistic and very efficient hunters that will take on anything that gets too close to their web, and this can sometimes include other spiders.
If you ever want to make people love spiders. Show them jumping spiders.
1:00 That's small compared to some of the ones we get in our house!🕸🕸🕸🕷🕷🕷
Literally same, we live in a very old countryside farmhouse. I've heard they love wood.
The first spider shown in the container is not a common house spider (Tegenaria domestica). It is in fact a giant house spider, (either Eratigena atrica, E. duellica, or E. saeva) - these three species are superficially almost identical and can only be separated by microscopic examination of an adult spider's genitalia. They are, however, very easily visually distinguishable from T. domestica.
Rat sized?. Giant? Yes on ponds in the open. Scare mongering for no good reason as usual
Flip flops are good for wacking them !
😢 That’s horrible.
Can we please create a petition to remove this lady off the presenting panel?
No thanks...
Can we please have some warnings next time?!?! I’m not one to be a snowflake but arachnophobia is a very common issue 🫠
Also sorry but I do indeed hoover almost all the spiders I see in my house, I know it’s not ideal and I would like to get better with them but the idea of having to touch one or be that close to them is just too much.
warnings?? it’s a very small harmless animal it’s not a real fear
@@barneyhope5547 it actually is. It’s one of the top 3 most common phobias, amongst heights and snakes. It’s usually an irrational fear,meaning it can’t be helped by applying logic. It might seem silly to some but to someone so scared they may even have a panic attack due to their fear, it’s definitely not.
Just looking at that house spider makes me feel physically sick.
Australia is laughing at you all. That’s not a knife. This is a knife
This woman is a talking machine and needs to shut up most iterating ⁷
I usually just spray them away with the hose. Oh wait, I've confused spiders with people.
yea just leave them alone in ur house... but flies dont come into the house all the time and they dont always catch them so what do you end up with is dead spiders in your house lol
They come near me they get a book thrown at them. I'm not having spiders anywhere in my house.
Time to get the sa80 out 😂
The silly presenters wouldn't let the guy focus on HOW to keep them out.
This man just tried to say a raft spider is the size of a house spider. Fam no it's not!! They eat fish!!
Hasn't the mating season passed now summer is over?
Spider in my house lot's cause of summer
This woman just exposes the average woman nowadays . A mouth piece
This man just exposes the average man nowadays. Nothing useful to contribute.
@@SeanPittaway-lb9bg I'm sorry I upset you.
@@SeanPittaway-lb9bg we're all good here
@@KW-ro5ow Are the two of you Canadian? Lol You're apologizing like you are! Haha Peace and love.
@@MeAndAbby1 🤣🤣🤣
If come in mine my cat 😺 will get u lol
My cat just sits there!😅😂
@@ayeshaxo9580
Lol Ur cat brings them in for you and watching u get them 😂
Australia has red back spider s. Small spiders smaller than 5p size . Some are poisonous. Some aren’t. I’d say the spider’s northern hemisphere are different to the ones in Australia. I apologise for the length of this comment
I don’t actually mind them 🤷♀️ most are harmless
Size 12 boot thats all im saying
Insy winsey better run
Bet his never even been bitten by a spider lol
Just shows how we’ve been conditioned from birth to fear many things
Please can everyone be kind and not harm them? Imagine you're just trying to survive and someone swats you just because they don't like the way you look. Remove them humanely please!
That’s why my cats live with me rent free 😊
Oh that woman presenter has annoyed me constantly intrupting the expert 😡
So after 8.57 all you have is conkers. You could have done some research guys come on.
I keep spiders there good they protect you from other bugs that can hurt you leave them alone
Am I the other one who is happy with them being extinct 😅 no way do I want that in my home 🫨
any in my room gettin squashed sorry
Why save them? I’d rather have woolly mammoths and dinosaurs roam the earth 😖
When it pays rent it can stay
I find them fascinating to wath when webbing i❤them
I couldn't watch this video, why would they show these spiders, disgusting and scary. I had to listen to the audio.
why does this country always see a bit of nature as a pest, just leave them alone, collect them in a glass & place them outside
Spider s don’t like peppermint sent
Spider are welcome in my home I have 12 tarantulas
Your tarantulas will be saying "dad let me out I've got my cutlery and plate ready " haha
Nah! 😨😨😨😨
Don’t conserve spiders!
I had one on my head so they do go near humans
Aaand, that's why I ask for slippers every Christmas..
But then you have to clean it though 😮
No problem with spiders in my home my jack Russell Australian merl eats them sorted
peppermint oil mixed with water , put in a spray bottle and bobs your uncle, no more spiders. oh, get these 2 on instead of that awful deeley and shepherd.
Barratts and springfield homes this is the way to sell a home. Fully insulated sealled home so spiders wont be able to enter
Right now it’s their mating season so the males are on the move looking for a wifee hahah yessir Harries and Henrietta’s are proper gross and frighteningly scary… they (the females) are of a size lately that’s true.. I do not like them at all to be fair…. I keep all windows and doors tightly closed around this time of the year and I also keep my home clitter free especially the corners because these critters tend to like the corners and more so if those corners are full of cluttered items… also chalk works wonders on front / back door thresholds because for some weird reason these horrid things will not cross the line… then there’s the essential oils like peppermint / lavender etc etc and finally there’s the use of confers… I wouldn’t use conkers personally because it will draw out others of their kind hahah and nobody needs to be seeing that happen with their bare eyes hahah I mean these critters have 48 knees so that’s why they move so fast and quickly… the horror huh hahah yeh… they be notoriously hideous… Nuff Said ;)’
Keep them in the house. They are completely harmless pest controllers.
My house 🏡 full of spiders i usually get cup take them outside i hear 🕷️ eat other bug's i now looking at spiders at corner
"I dont particularly like them" I wish i could be that calm. 4 minutes of twaddle first instead of telling us how to prevent them coming in.
It's false conkers don't do nothing I've tried this before lol
Rather have spiders than illegal immigrants
My God that woman is so annoying... i'd rather get rid of her and keep the spiders.
Yee
I had severe arachnophobia, to the point it affected my daily life. Got fed up with that, so decided to cure myself. I now am very fond of them, live with several different types and particularly like poecilotheria tarantulas. It can be done. False windows used to sometimes bite me…especially if they get in the bed or clothes…but it was just itchy for a bit.
I was like that! Terrible arachnophobe. Then I plucked up my courage and held a tarantula and now I’m more I less ok with spiders so long as they don’t crawl on me.
We have false widows all over the house. If they’re moving around I catch and release but generally we live in harmony now!
Well no advice whatsoever except the bleeding obvious. Take them outside. Good grief.
Who is the new presenter? She's awful! Alison should have been offered the permanent role.
