Oh no, I just found out there's a tarantulas nest in next doors loft.

Apparently the guy that used to live in this house used to bread tarantulas. He did say to next door some time ago that he thinks one might have escaped and he couldn't find it.

Next door also rent their house and they've been having problems with drains and they had the environment people in to check that, whilst they were there the lady next door said we've had some problems with spiders for some time and can you check the loft as I think they're coming from there.

The bloke looked up the loft and said that's a tarantulas nest, what's that doing here? The lady said that the guy next door lost one, he said it must have a mate, or it's alone, but there are signs of it biting.

Next doors is the end terraced house and it was nice fo the environment bloke to put some stuff down to stop the spider(s) going in next doors livin space and baby's bedroom where the loft hatch is (the baby doesn't sleep there thank god) so now I'm expecting a spider come our way.

Anybody have any experience with this sort of thing? I'm not expecting the letting agent of next door to sort it, as they never sorted the drain from 12 months ago (until now when they've been given a 48 hour notice4 as the home is listed now as inhabitable with no drain services) so I'm wondering if there's something (perhaps with a really really long attachment to it) that I can either squirt at it or hit it with?

Any advice regarding dealing with one should I come acroos one (or it - hopefully there's just the one and it's old now or something - probably the reason its biting?).

And finally - can they bread with house spiders? I've been seein shed-loads of spiders in my house but have never bothered with them as they kill flies and that's sound with me, the dirty things.

I've named a couple of the spiders (though there are probably 6 that share a name, afterall, they do look the same) and some I've seen JUMP up the stairs (don't imagine it juumpin all the way here, it just jumped from a step the virtical part of the next step but I was shocked still to say the least).

Please Jimmy, can you fix it for me?

I think the 'biting' she mentioned refered to the type they are, as in they can bite, though she did explain in here own words something along the lines of 'and it's been biting'.

I'm just about to Gaffa-tape everything up I think it can get through :thumbsup:
