Default Anyone know what spider this is?

Was about half the size of my hand.

Been looking on the net and it looks a little like a Hobo but they are meant to have a nasty bite!!

we have a wonderful tool in our house to deal with things like this, its an electricuting tennis racket device, supposed to be used for zapping flies, wasps etc, but works bloody well on anything like this, i grew a set of ***** the other night as one of these little ******* ran across our front living room carpet, zapped the little b4st4rd 10 times, then sucked it up the dyson to be on the safe side!!!!!!!! lol

i picked one of those big fekkers up when i was a kid and cupped it in my hands to take it outside....and it bit me! dont think it drew blood but it hurt and i dropped it... then stamped on it!!
i put them out rather than killing them... the less flies the better.

The last couple of years, we've been plagued by these weird spiders with tiny grey bodies and long skinny legs. I don't remember ever coming across them before, but now they're bleedin' everywhere!



Jeezus! That's given me the ******* now, googling that!

You have to get too close to them with a glass! What if the legs don't fit in! What if it runs up your arm!

You need the spider catcher from Amazon!

Oh......and the house is full of new conkers again!

One of those big horrible bugga's in the first photo ran across the kitchen worktop last night, a few good smacks with my shoe sorted it. I've got the buzzy tennis racket device but sometimes the traditional methods are quicker
