I was not expecting to see a big hairy spider above my bed this evening! I was sat on it putting on my creams and potions and happened to look up, there is was, just above the headboard! I got out my trusty spider catcher only to find it was not working, luckily I had a spare battery so I opened up the casing. However, the old battery and pins were a bit corroded and when I pulled off the old battery, one of the metal bits was stuck on a pin. I went into a bit of a panic mode as I really did not want to get a load of tissues to grab the spider and risk it running away under my bed! Luckily, I managed to prise it off with sone nail scissors and clean up the pins - working perfectly now.
A quick suck and the spider was trapped then duly dispatched down the toilet - sorry but it was not invited in my house so had to go! I must now remember to buy a new battery as it was the last square one in my stash.
I don’t recall seeing spiders in the house in February previously, now I’ll have to do a spider hunt every night!
