I’ve had to pap what I presume is a giant house spider out (as gently as possible and only into the close, not right outside) almost every night for about a fortnight.
I think there’s (at least) two of them, with slight differences in size and colour but I’ve not seen them together or even both on the same night. I also wonder if it’s actually a different one every night but then my arachnophobia kicks in and I start to worry that under our floorboards our behind the skirting boards is just solid with huge spiders!
If they are getting back in then I’ve no idea how. Mostly they’re in the living room which is quite far from the door and there doesn’t seem to be any real gaps around the door anyway.
The ones I’ve put out have been around 8cm but I’ve just read that 12cm isn’t too uncommon. If they start getting that big I think I’ll be signing the deeds to the flat over to them and moving into the garage!
