Dealing with Spiders (Tube Web Ones)

[owl10]

Hi everyone,

Does anyone have any experience experience of dealing with (getting rid of) spiders?

Specifically Tube web spiders.


Recently, Ive discovered around 8 -10 webs which look like a small tunnel / tube with a hole around the same size as a garden hosepipe.

The webs have several strands which extend a few inches from the tube entrance

Closer inspection sometimes reveals a spiders legs toward the edge of the hole

Ive done some googling on them, apparently they arent that common. I found one away form its web and caught it, it was about the size of a £2 coin, I released it away from the house.

I have tried to see if they have green fangs these are particularly rare in UK and can bite - they have some venom but not enought to cause major problems. - But i cant get close enough.

I tried to entice one out of its nest with a blade of grass on the web - it ran out quickly to 'catch' the grass, and it was bigger than expected, bigger than the one I had caught previously (possibly a female) but it was difficult to get a real view of it when i was shrieking like a girl and running around like ace ventura.


So.....

The ones outside i dont mind too much (except they'll probably want to come inside when it gets colder...)

But some are in our conservatory, and I dont want to share.

I can seal the gaps they hide in once they've left, but how to get rid of them first? Prefer not to kill them if possible, at least the outside ones anyway.

Ive already tried with the vacuum, but they seem to be able to hold on very well....

TLDR

How do i get rid of creepy crawlies,

My parents have them in the back garden going between the tiles going between ground and 1st floor of the house.

I won't lie, I do not go near them. Went there with a stick once and 2 leathery looking legs poked out of the hole and I ran away.

However, super soaker, petrol and a lighter. That is my choice of death. Hose pipe will disturb them too...

they can fuck right off

i can put up with normal ones and the false widows but they is fucking orrible

i vote pressure washer into petrol and a match

get a pet bird to live in your conservatory. It'll chomp through the spider population in no time.

Im not sure how well the uPVC conservatory will cope with lit petrol...!

Nor the inside with a pressure washer!

One lives above the door when I walk into the conservatory - its a little unnerving!

I know that spiders aren't insects, but poison is poison. I haven't come across a spider (yet) that I can't kill with this stuff.

It bloody stinks though so be sure to ventilate properly before and after use.

A flea bomb is likely to have enough toxin in it to kill the spider inside, takes 8 hours and really REALLY fucks the air up.

OH MY GOD!!!!
I am going to have nightmares tonight and NEVER go into the garden again!!! 😫

You should leave them alone. Spiders are great for getting those flies that get stuck near the windows and you can never quite get at them. I like spiders though.

Me too,
But the inlaws are coming to visit and that means vacuuming and housework.
I send my spiders to spider-camp in George.
George would be the vacuum cleaner.

So the upshot of that is..... learn how to work the vacuum and suck them up

The fact that they probably live is a bonus
I don't like killing anything. I feel guilty accidently standing on snails at night in the garden.
Spiders are useful. I can live with them. Even tube web ones.
At the old house we had loads of false widows, when we moved, we appear to have brought half of them with us.

[owl10]

They are undoubtedly useful in keeping pest populations down.

Unfortunately the ones in my conservatory / leaky clear shed on side of house are generally useful for scaring the crap out of me and the Mrs in the evenings when they emerge from their web.

I've sprayed something they don't like over the web, and caught them with a glass beaker, so far I've caught 4 each has body size about 1.5 - 2 cm long. What the bell do I do with them now though, realeasing outside Shirley they'll just come back???

Can confirm they have green fangs like picture above... Not as bright though so maybe they are young, is hate to come across a fully grown one...

The garage I was keeping my bike in until recently was absolutely full of the things. I used to find them on my bike occasionally. One crawled out from the dash and sat on my clocks on the motorway once

Hoover is your friend, preferably some super-suction thing

Blue-green spider and grub, no idea what type it is. Was in my kitchen last year, and have seen others under the shed.

I clear the garage of them with a propane blow lamp and a can of de-icer.

strange how garage spiders seem to be some kind of mega-breed, absolutely chuffing enormous hairy leggy bastards!

Not flame proof though

Then move house

Blob of silicon sealant over the entrances should work.

Fuck that!

Spiders never bothered me until I was about 9.

Found a giant thing poking out under a skirting bored and was staring at it as you could see all its eyes. Was quite interesting.

The room was absolutely silent and I swore the fucker hissed!

Hated the things ever since!

Exception was a False Widow living on the outside of my conservatory, it seemed to get bigger every week and it turns out my dad was feeding it dead flies found inside on the conservatory windowsill
